Well, if the rule is "no foreign code", then that rule is silly. Or did they write all their OSses, editors, compilers, MTAs, database, webservers, themselves?

However I can understand a policy of saying "this and this and this and this we take from the outside, and anything else needs to be evaluated first". Anyone can upload as much crap on CPAN as they wish. The standard distribution has been tested by a lot of people - but you don't know that from some random module on CPAN. I don't share the often voiced opinion "if it's on CPAN, it has to be good", although it's usually not said with those words. There are a lot of crap coders out there. There are a lot of crap Perl coders out there as well. All that's required to upload something to CPAN is pushing a few buttons on a webpage. Pause is not a 'bad code' firewall.

I've used CPAN modules in production code. But only well used modules, which have gotten good reviews.

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.
