Actually, I don't use much of anything Damian writes, but it doesn't have to do with the code quality, really. Some people get excited about his cool hacks, but can't seperate his production-useful stuff from the cool proof-of-concept hacks. They end up using anything from TheDamian, and some of them shouldn't be used for anything that anyone else has to maintain (and that's just about everything). I pretend none of that stuff exists so I don't spread the word. It's cool stuff: I just don't want to ever maintain it.

The inability to accurately categorize and assess CPAN modules is a genuine problem that many people face. But refraining from <i>all</i> temptations just because a few of them are bad for you seems counterproductive.
<p>So, in the hope that
<tt>brian</tt> (and everyone else) will be better able to take advantage of my
genuinely useful contributions without falling victim to my occasionally insanities,
here's a categorized list of my current modules, with recommended
dosages...
<hr>
<p>Damian modules you shouldn't use in production because they're
intended to be jokes:
<ul>
<font color="red">
<li> [mod://Acme::Bleach]
<li> [mod://Acme::Don::t]
<li> [mod://Coy]
<li> [mod://Lingua::Romana::Perligata]
<li> [mod://IO::Busy]
</font>
</ul>
<p>Damian modules you shouldn't use in production because their purpose
is to explore and prototype future core language features:
<ul>
<font color="red">
<li> [mod://Attribute::Types]
<li> [mod://Class::Contract]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Builtins]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Currying]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Export]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Gather]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Placeholders]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Rules]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Variables]
<li> [mod://Quantum::Superpositions]
<li> [mod://Switch]
</font>
</ul>
<p>Damian modules you shouldn't use in production because they've been
superceded by better modules:
<ul>
<font color="red">
<li> [mod://Attribute::Handlers::Prospective] </font> <i>(use [mod://Attribute::Handlers] instead)</i>
<font color="red">
<li> [mod://Text::Reform] </font> <i>(use [mod://Perl6::Form] instead)</i>
<font color="red">
<li> [mod://Tie::SecureHash] </font> <i>(use [mod://Class::Std] instead)</i>
</ul>
<p>Special-purpose Damian modules that are useful for developing
other modules or for solving difficult implementation problems,
but which probably shouldn't be used directly in application code:
<ul>
<font color="orange">
<li> [mod://Lingua::EN::Inflect]
<li> [mod://Attribute::Handlers]
<li> [mod://Class::Delegation]
<li> [mod://Class::Multimethods]
<li> [mod://Class::Std::Utils]
<li> [mod://Filter::Simple]
<li> [mod://Hook::LexWrap]
<li> [mod://Inline::Files]
<li> [mod://NEXT]
<li> [mod://Parse::RecDescent]
<li> [mod://Regexp::MatchContext]
<li> [mod://Sub::Installer]
<li> [mod://Text::Balanced]
</font>
</ul>
<p>Damian modules that are specifically debugging and coding aids and which Damian uses himself during code development:
<ul>
<font color="cyan">
<li> [mod://Debug::Phases]
<li> [mod://Leading::Zeros]
<li> [mod://Log::StdLog]
<li> [mod://Module::Starter::PBP]
<li> [mod://Smart::Comments]
<li> [mod://Toolkit]
</font>
</ul>
<p>Damian modules that are generally safe, robust, and handy, and which Damian regularly uses in his own
deployed code:
<ul>
<font color="green">
<li> [mod://Class::Std]
<li> [mod://Config::Std]
<li> [mod://Contextual::Return]
<li> [mod://Getopt::Declare]
<li> [mod://Getopt::Euclid]
<li> [mod://IO::InSitu]
<li> [mod://IO::Interactive]
<li> [mod://IO::Prompt]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Export::Attrs]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Form]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Say]
<li> [mod://Perl6::Slurp]
<li> [mod://Regexp::Common]
<li> [mod://Text::Autoformat]
</font>
</ul>
