An alternative structure of the patch, if you are feeling brave,
could go like this:
(1) With a thought process similar to what I illustrated in my
message you responded with "OK, I see. Good point.", identify
all the codepaths that will need to become methods that are
specific to the transport (SMTP or NNTP).
(2) Without adding any NNTP goodies, refactor the current code to
use a single class for driving conversation with a SMTP server.
You will implement all the methods you identified in the
previous step and the result will become "[PATCH 1/2]
send-email: refactor to use a transport-specific class".
(3) Implement a new class to drive conversation with an NNTP
server, that has the same set of methods as the SMTP one you
wrote in the previous step. The result will become "[PATCH
2/2] send-email: introduce NNTP transport". This would need
updates to the documentation.
I do not necessarily suggest you to go this route, by the way. It is
up to you and depends on how proficient you are (and how comfortable
you feel) dealing with modular Perl programs.
