IMHO, such policies result out of bad-experience and ignorance. Did you hand-roll your CGI parsing code?

I very much doubt you'll experience data loss, and if you do, you should have your backups (duh).

Every xml parsing modules has about 0% chance of losing data on its own (it's only reading after all, and that can't be damaging :D).

Now, look at the reports of cpantesters, and check your target platform(s) for success/failure (lack of test reports don't mean much, inspect reports closely as not all cpan-testers know what they're doing -- true even more today due to CPANPLUS)

http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=dist&dist=XML-LibXML
http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=dist&dist=XML-Twig

Do a codereview like monks have already suggested, but also be sure to review the tests (and the more tests there are, the better).

Look for bug reports (http://rt.cpan.org).

Now, also look at who wrote the module. I frankly wouldn't do too much of a codereview on a module like Text::xSV which is written by tilly. Some of SCHWERNs stuff I might inspect a little closer though ;D


MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
