APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

  create
 Title   : create
 Usage   : $factory->create(%args)
 Function: Create a new object
 Returns : a new object
 Args    : hash of initialization parameters

  create_object
 Title   : create_object
 Usage   : $obj = $factory->create_object(%args)
 Function: Create a new object.

           This is supposed to supercede create(). Right now it only delegates
           to create().
 Returns : a new object
 Args    : hash of initialization parameters
