...simple distribution of the script if you don't build full blown packages. Only a `perl script.pl` is needed when the script uses only core functionality. That is simple and lightweight. Am I wrong? Best regards McA	[reply] [d/l]

This could be a reason in general, but is not so important in my particular case. If the "platform dependent" subs would form a logical unit, which deserves being factored out to a module, this is what I would do. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]

Since the variations between Windows and Linux are logically part of the module, where they are used, it feels artificial to move them to a different module. That's why I would prefer to keep them together, if (only if!) I find an equally well solution which allows me to do so. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]
