in reply to What sets Perl back

The comment below is not an attack against gunzip but rather a general call for opinions...

I'm afraid I find module errors well over my head and don't think your average Perl developer should have to understand such internals.

Am I the only one that finds this snippet disturbing? Shouldn't an "average <language> developer" understand the environment he/she is working in?

IMNSHO, one of the richest tools at the disposal of the Perl community is, precisely, CPAN. I think an APD should understand how this works and how to use this tool.

Really, I don't mean this to be a rant. I'm just curious about what the rest thinks.

Best regards
