Ok, thanks.

I didn't think about that. Perhaps I should only keep the object
interface then. After all, people can write their own subroutines if
they really need to. Thanks for the advice.

Actually, I'm already using Dist::Zilla for my module. I also wrote a
plugin bundle for Dist::Zilla and Pod::Weaver
(Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::ASDAGO and
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::ASDAGO). I haven't released them yet,
but I will at the same time as my module.

Thanks,
Asher
