Hi Brad,

I'm not answering your question directly but just wanted to reply and add that modules have helped me in the following ways:

(1) code reuse

- subs in ModuleA used by other modules

(2) better code organisation

(3) fixed one, fixed all

- a bug can be traced to a particular module and when it's fixed, it's solved for all modules that use it.

(4) easier code maintenance

If you've done some Flash, putting subs in modules is like placing images in the library. You can recycle the images any number of times. And when you make a change to an image in the library, the change is effected in all the raw flash files that use it.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
