Hello kcott, > I do like the feature-rich IO::Prompter module; the menus are perhaps my favourite bit. well.. I dont know how to be kind about this, but I have a radical different opinion. Given anyone is free to choose their tool I find very irritating to spot a nice perl module ( IO::Prompter ) with this statement in the docomentation:
Well.. it is kind to inform me, but consider this situation: Hey my friend! For sure I can lend you my wonderful supercar: it is very safe and fast but if you are not tall exactly 183 cm and 90 Kg the car probably will only go 40Km/h and the car can skid when cornering if your feet are not exactly 10 sized. :( thanks, better I'll take the bus.. My busses are:
More kind for IO::Prompter should be to have 00_OStest.t stating BAIL_OUT() if $^O eq "MSWin32" and instead I see all tests passing with only, ironically being an interactive module, t/styles.t ....................... skipped: Skipping interactive tests under Windows while all other interactive tests are ok:
So please, consider it carefully before adopting a module if you plan to share your code widely. This is not criticism about you nor your code kcott, absolutely. You will see me at the next Perl conference selling t-shirts with: Strawberry setups matter and Say NO to OSsism </rant> :) L*
There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
