Thats a fine option to have.
But therecomes another question to my mind:
what do i get with writing 'method' instead of
'sub'? is it just for seperating subroutines and methods optically
or is there a deeper reason?

Yes, but there seem to be quite some people who want
a 'cool' syntax for it. (ie. ./method ()).
No syntax at all, like in C++ just method() would
be the shortest. But larry says no, and everyone seems to
agree.
