  I'm honestly not sure how thinking about your ass would help in 
  development other than a "I've been sitting in this chair for too
  long...." way. 
 
  If everyone was thinking about their backside when they did the API
  change, we'd have much more interesting module names. :) More like
  these: 

  Ass2::URI
  Fanny::Filter
  GluteusMaximus::RequestIO
  Rump::RequestRec
  Rear::Access
  Derriere::Directive
  Posterior::PerlSections

  I have also moved code from the old API to the new with minimal
  effort.  While I didn't do it with sed, I can definitely see how that
  would be possible with most apps. I think it took me all of about
  15 minutes to do Apache::DB, Apache::DProf, and Apache::SmallProf. 

  At first I didn't like the API change. However, after a few days
  of using it I completely adjusted. 

  P.S. You guys should probably never put me in charge of API naming
       conventions. ;)
