Re: modules = minilanguages?

[revdiablo]

I would tend to say no. Mini languages generally have their own syntax and semantics, whereas Perl modules usually have to follow standard Perl syntax and semantics. Granted, there are some people (*cough* TheDamian *cough*) who do things in their modules that might fit a "mini language" description, but I think that's the exception.

also TheDamian showed Trey Harris the way in Commands::Guarded which is a neat mini-language encapsulating certain Perl usage patterns
