Yes, if I didn't supply all the needed method. But the whole point of
OO, I thought, was so the user doesn't/shouldn't have to write code
like the above. Instead she should write:

my $object = My::Module::With::Its::Long::Name->new();
my $variable = $object->some_var(); # returns the value of some_var
$object->some_var($new_val); # sets the value of some_var
$object->method(@args); # you get the idea...

As you can see, I only had to write "My::Module::With::Its::Long::Name" once.
Am I missing anything?
