And why is that bad? Just because it might confuse someone? I personally
prefer new Bio::SeqIO(..); mainly because I don't like the SomePackage->
accessors, if something is a function it should be exported otherwise it
should be called as a member function on some object. Using ->new makes
it look like the package is an object.

On a totaly off topic note, any reason why the list dislikes signed
e-mails?
