I am curious to see if this thread gets a solution that I like better than my own. I have one module around named along the lines of "Utilities.pm" that such funcitons end up in. Since my code has yet to end up on CPAN, I haven't had to worry about distribution issues. In a module bound for CPAN, I'd be wary of depending on such convenience functions - if they really are such little snippets, it's probably not worth adding another module to CPAN and depending on it. I'm not a big fan of such catch-all modules, so I'd rather see useful functions added to CPAN in some approrpiate (more-well-categorized) place.
If a namespace issue should crop up with such a module in my own code, well, perl -pi -e 's/.../.../' will be a pretty quick solution.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
