As I said in another email, what I'd say is that you should -subclass-
C::V::Email or C::V::Email::Template, and if you can't do what you need via
subclassing, sort out patches to the existing stuff so you can subclass it.

Then the stuff you want is in your own module, but all the stuff the already
existing modules already do isn't duplicated.

Ain't OO awesome :)
