[Rt-devel] Where to put common code?

[Mike Peachey]

I'm having trouble here.

I've written & cribbed code for connecting to an external MySQL database 
and for reading site config info into variable and doing other random 
things, and (as it was not initially intended to be used anywhere else) 
this code is currently stored in and called from User_Local.pm

The problem is, I need to access identical code from the 
autohandler/Auth Callback.

Thing is, I'm not sure where I should move this code so that it's 
accessible from both.

Currently, a lot of the code is called by $self->method within 
User_Local since they are operations on a user object, but a lot of it 
doesn't need to be as it is user-independent code.

Do I create a new module somewhere? If so, where? As an extension of 
another module with overriding? As a random perl file that gets included 
from wherever?

Help!

If anyone's available to natter about it, I should be in #rt on 
irc.perl.org all day (Zordrak).
