note Juerd <p> When I first learned about computers and how a computer program worked, the metaphor used was very, very simple: recipes. A program is a recipe. </p> <p> Some recipes are used by other recipies, for example if you need a boiled egg in a greater meal. This is the most natural description of modularity I've heard so far. </p> <p> I think I was 9 or 10 years old when I started programming. </p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-132236"> <p><font color="#800000"> Juerd # { site => '<a href="http://juerd.nl/" target="_blank"><font color="#800000">juerd.nl</font></a>', plp_site => '<a href="http://plp.juerd.nl/" target="_blank"><font color="#800000">plp.juerd.nl</font></a>', do_not_use => '<a href="mailto:spamcollector_perlmonks@juerd.nl" target="_blank"><font color="#800000">spamtrap</font></a>' } </font></p> </div></div> 451305 451305
