to reuse or to write my own ?by tinman (Curate) |

tinman has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi fellow Monks,
My question is not anything to do with Perl syntax, but rather on style... In the course of my work, I've discovered a lot of new and cool uses for Perl. Its pretty fair to say its saved me a lot of grunt work.. some of the uses that I've had for Perl include Now, through no choice of my own, my primary work OS is Windows, and I don't have access to Visual C++ (required for XS modules from CPAN).. so, where the ActivePerl repository doesn't have it, I end up writing my own stuff.. Should I share the stuff I do with others, even when there is a module already, or should I not "taint" the official module out there... I'd love to share my work, not only to help someone else out, but also because I think I can learn a lot about Perl that way... What do you think ? and how should I go about using my code to serve someone else? any ideas ? point to note is that a lot of the module code out there seems to intimidate me ;o) my stuff gets the job done, but I don't really know how clever it is... or isn't..
