in reply to How old is too old?

"So, when deciding whether to use a module, or anything else for that matter, how old is too old?"

'It depends'. That's up to the prospective user to make an informed decision based on their situation. We have some users who promote defunct builds of perl, 20 years behind the times in terms of security (an everything else), pontificating about their arcane coding style. Does it make sense to anyone else? No. Are they 'happy' with it or just too stuck in their ways to change, perhaps.
