Then the first part of refactoring is to bitchslap the original developer....
I dont have to contribute to CPAN to have an opinion, cockhead.
No, you don't. I used the example of my module on CPAN so as to:
- Demonstrate the issue isn't just with legacy code (I still actively maintain PDF::Template)
- Demonstrate the issue using my own personal code, saying everyone suffers from a lack of knowledge (the code was written over 2 years ago) and tuits (I have been focusing on other work and haven't written the 500+ tests needed)
How do you 'know' it works ? It isnt tested.
Wrong - it's "tested" over 25,000 times a day. In other words, I 'know' it works because that's what it does - work. I know the 60% that's covered works, too. I am not comfortable with that, so I will be adding more and better tests to the regression suite.
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

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.
