I'd just like to second John here. I've got a couple of modules where
the OO and functional interfaces happen to mesh together beautifully
(Class::Fields is one). CGI.pm isn't exactly the greatest example of
a combination of the two styles... but from the holy wars which rage
between C<$cgi->param('foo')> and C<param('foo')> regularly, I can see
why it is desired.
But it doesn't have to be easy.

But why? It's such a well designed cesspool of C++ code. Why wouldn't
you want to hack mozilla?
