The Koha namespace is already starting to suffer from many of the issues we encountered within C4, with rather organic growth. I've been trying to promote some api design discussions in https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11983. To summarise, rather than adding lots of ->search_for_x, ->search_for_y, ->search_for_z methods to our objects I'd like to come up with some guidelines on code re-use and method naming conventions. (along with improving our current perldoc procedure to make the docs more informative and helpful, but let's cover that in another bug ;) ). Please take a look at the example code options I've presented in the bug and chip in with your thoughts, suggestions. Jonathan has already made some great suggestions and I'd love to see us working towards having clearer conventions and more code re-use.
