Yeah, I disagree with pretty much everything you wrote

use/require work with modules, modules are the basis of reusable code in perl

Forcing the same $VERSION number in every provided package doesn't violate DRY but it also doesn't make sense as a standard or recommended practice

If you know, through consulting various Changes files, and through testing, that your code will only work if you  require CGI 2001; then go ahead and add use CGI 2001; otherwise don't specify a version number

You can use the output of Devel::Modlist and note in the documentation, that your module (or app, whatever) is known to work with this combination of modules/versions

Or you can turn this list into a list of author/distribution-name.tar.gz and create a Task which only installs this combination of dependencies.

Also, you don't say whom this recommendation is intended for :) but clearly anyone writing a lot of code (GAAS with his LWP.../URI... or say authors of Moose ) have already made up their mind and adopted a practice

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.
