I don't know about the saved time part. He saved time for himself, sure. How did it make any difference on the end result? Both were done around the same time.

Like cjf++ I also don't buy the notion that existing code is necessarily better than your own. Safe for CPAN, I have come to assume any Perl source on offer for download is likely to be awful, and so far practice has shown me only few exceptions to this rule.

    The notion of time saved stems from the scenario of the original post. If the situation had begun at the beginning of the week, that would be time spent solving other issues important to the business. Any company that spends it's time solving things already solved will have a short lifespan.
