Re^4: Top Seven (Bad) Reasons Not To Use Modules

[JavaFan]

It's "convert whatever newlines to the Windows newlines".

\R does indeed mean, "whatever newlines".

Assuming you have upgraded your Perl in the last 5 quarters.

Ah, I didn't know that. (I guess I would have been better off with the module too, eh?).

[JavaFan]

Don't get me wrong. I never claimed people shouldn't use modules. I never claimed the module used in the example shouldn't be used.

I just don't think using a module to replace a substitution consisting of a single 2 character token as the pattern is a great example of how timesaving modules can be.
