in thread A corrolary to TMTOWTDI

Read his reply, where he says "Thanks ... this would have saved me quite some time ..."

I'm not picking on him. I'm not saying he's a bad person. There's really no need for you to defend him. I'm trying to find a way for us as a community to help promote the CPAN so that cases like this, where someone reinvents the wheel but didn't want to, are minimized.

some people might not have axx to the CPAN repository (not many but i'm sure they're around), or don't know it exists

Aha! The very point I'm trying to make.

Perhaps next time you'll want to read what's been written before wasting time with irrelevant and incorrect hypotheses.
