Must ... not ... bite, ... being ... trolled ... nooo...

Criticizing a method of evaulation while offering constructive suggestions is hardly a troll. What did you expect: "Golly, gee bsb, you sure are smart with your module red-flags and what-not, great work. I hope someday I can be as smart as you." (now that's the beginning of a good troll, but I'll get to the point)

HTML::* and CGI::* just seem to acquire more flaky modules than B::*, Devel::* or IO::*

90% of everything is garbage. This applies to modules as well, and since I'd wager there are way more HTML::* modules out there, and there's only so many useful ones that can be written, you get a lot of crap. Very few people are going to write an B::* program as their first module. It's the same reason why there's so more much crud Perl code around than python or ruby. More people, more crappy code. Simple.

Testing or it's absence is rarely evident

Automated tests should be provided.

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.
