One of the few quirks with perl is that:

The 20 line code you wrote 4 weeks ago.

Becomes a 15 line code 2 weeks later.

Then 1 week later you discover how to do it in 2 lines.

And then someone (usually on this very forum) points out that it is possible in 1.

This is why modules and subs arent talked about much

So I wouldn't really stress the Philosophical side of modules. Do it to help understand how to share your code with the community when you have code you wish to share. (CPAN)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
