Want, Want, Want
It's been 7 months and folks are talking about method chaining, so it's time to advertise Want.pm again:
use Want;
if(want("OBJECT")){
return $self;
}
else{
return $value;
}
If you're planning on supporting method chaining, you'd best be using this module. Two warnings though: it causes the debugger to crash and it doesn't get along with the overload module.

"require v5.6" should be "require 5.006" to make it -w safe.
And I think the module is too large. Perlhaps some autoloading technique can be used.
