This is how I think about it: it is a matter of taste,
much like choosing music. You make personal decisions
based on your own weighting factors. Here is an example
of a set of choices that someone might use.
How do you choose your music?
- Other listeners
- Reviews
- Artist
- Brian Setzer can do no wrong
- Publisher
- Barking Pumpkin can do no wrong
- What is on the radio
- What you found all by yourself
- Go to Backdoor Records in Cotati, California,
find interesting looking discs,
put them in the player and listen.
How do you choose your perl modules?
- Someone tells you
about them
- Reviews
- Magazine articles by Randall Schwartz
- PerlMonks module reviews
- Author
- Damian Conway can do no wrong
- Publisher
- O'Reilly can do no wrong (module in book)
- What is on PerlMonks
- PerlMonks
questions, answers, and commentary
- Browse CPAN
- Downloads, test
and evaluate the modules yourself
- Search results order is a good first guess
This is from
a
talk that I recently presented about perl.
It should work perfectly the first time! - toma

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
