Re^2: Perl best practices fanatism (also commenting on version control)

There's no need to set up a server to use SVN. It will run perfectly well against a local repository on the same machine, or over ssh (again without a dedicated server) to a remote machine. And there's other options besides (or on top of :) SVN that don't require dedicated servers either.

Additionally: Not that you're not free to work without a net if you really want to, just don't be surprised when you go splat. And you will eventually go splat (Murphy and what not . . .). And the more cautious who do use SCM religiously will snicker when you're hoist on your own petard.
