Personally, I use modules whenever I can if the following
conditions are met: 1. Deadline is short (i.e., I have a deadline :-) ) 2. I know the module is quite robust, maybe overkill but useful for the problem at hand 3. I have 'bigger fish to fry', i.e. the module solves a problem so I can concentrate on the 'main issue' 4. And sometimes, I don't know an efficient way of solving the problem but someone else already has In case #4 the module route just gets things working then I can go back and actually learn what I need to in order to solve the problem myself -felonious --
