Seems extremely interesting. But in passing it may be worthwile to remind a cheap alternative that would yield the absolute maximum of portability: editor macros or templates. For example you may create a template like thus

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;



__END__
[download]

If you know that you're using a certain module, say File::Find, quite often, then you can include it with a cmt in said template:

# use File::Find;
[download]

and you may create a suitable macro for inserting subs: I don't have any, but with my editor (jed]) it would be easy to create one that would ask me for a name, say foo and create this code for me:

sub foo {
    my $var=shift;

}
[download]

positioning the cursor on the empty line, or on $var, to allow me to switch to a more sensible var name.

• 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).
