note brian_d_foy <p> If I always wanted to write modules, I'd use Java. Perl is useful because I don't have to write a bunch of code to get something done. </p> <p> If you don't write a lot of scripts, this might not seem like a big deal to you. I'm not going to spend the extra time on the majority of my one-offs and quick and dirty scripts because I'm not going to use them again. I'm more interested in getting work done then spending quality time with my keyboard. </p> <p> As for planning one from the start, may we all live in such a perfect world. Unfortunately, not everyone does, and pretending so ignores a great many people who could use a map to better code. </p> <!-- Node text goes above.
