It provides a flexibility to an API that allows it to be used more comfortably in different situations. . This technique appears to be especially useful when writing modules that you want to be used in either a single use or a persistent environment. In a CGI like environment, you want the simplicity of a static interface. You can call Class->method directly, without having to pass an instantiation around constantly.
