... life is much easier when external dependencies are minimized.
What external dependencies? In an earlier link in this thread, you rejected consideration of a function like List::MoreUtils::natatime because it was part of a module on CPAN. But I don't understand what difference that makes. Just Use the Source, Luke! Whether natatime is really appropriate to the problem at hand is another question, but I just checked and as toolic pointed out, it's about half a dozen lines of pure-Perl, standalone code; if you need it, just steal it for Heaven's sake, that's what it's there for! (Although an acknowledgement of provenance is always a nice touch.) A simple cut-and-paste and you're done. And there's a ton more code where that came from.

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).
