in reply to Top Seven (Bad) Reasons Not To Use Modules

There's a module that almost does what I want, but it's buggy/broken

That is often an opportunity to fix or extend. There was a nice active directory module that painlessly searched the tree and returned object names, but to do something with object you had to use the name and bind to it. Trivial to add methods that returned an object reference for direct use.
