Re^2: Prefer Pure Perl Core Modules

[Leitz]

Yes and no; mostly yes. I'm building an application to build my Perl skills, and one of the design goals is reduced complexity so someone else could use it. Building the app is pushing me to evaluate the trade-offs and giving me a chance to implement the good practices I've been exposed to for the past few decades. All five points are based on failures I have dealt with.

There are a lot of development teams and environments, and a lot of different assumptions and expectations. For me, not depending on a lot of CPAN modules really works well. For others CPAN is quite useful.

A strange approach, with all respect. If I understood it right. I builded applications because I was in it for the money. Becoming better was rather a side effect. And a question of my professional ethics and my technical interests. Customers don’t really care about this. Best regards, Karl

I learn best by coding through an introductory book and then working on a small personal project. Moving to a different language pushes me to learn things like accessing files, importing modules, etc. Often I'll do the same task in each new language just to see how that language handles the things I like to do.

This sounds good. Do you know Rosseta Code? Best regards, Karl
