( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Obviously it depends on what the application is but in general :

  • Choose modules that are highly rated on cpan ( http://search.cpan.org/~mjd/Memoize-1.01/ )
  • Choose ones that have been recently updated, or are in higher versions, as they generally are better maintained and more developed ( http://search.cpan.org/~gfuji/Data-Util-0.53/ )
  • If you can use modules which have been assimilated into the core release, this is often good too, because they are stable and well tested ( File::Basename )
  • Look around - are people here using them ( Super search )? What do they say?
      (If you have a more specific request, and a particular module doesn't rock your world, tell us why, ask us of there is a solution, maybe someone will know a better module...)
  • Mainly though, play around!
    • find what suits your style
    • what gets the job done ( Test )?
    • What gets it done fastest ( Benchmark ) ?

Just a something something...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
