Using module/class instead of package is exactly the same route that LaTeX
took in the transition from 2.09 to 2e. It works quite well, and has also
meant that because of the automatic triggering of the compatibility code,
there are still lots of 2.09 documents out there, what, 10 years later?
that still process just fine with current versions of LaTeX.
The rest of what Larry said included little that wasn't about what I
expected, so I didn't have much additional response, apart from saying
that that was rather more Perl 5 compatibility than I was expecting.
Interesting.
Oh, and I wholeheartedly approve of the approach to handling objects.
