I guess a factor in determining intended complexity may be the intended audience.
True.

I write most of my perl code these days for a client that wants me get the *hard* things done, and has the expertise to make sense of the code - at least, once I explain some things :) Most of my CPAN code is probably more straight-forward, just because the problems solved there are easier.

On the other hand, if I had to do the kind of stuff I'm getting paid for right now, and also had to cater to not very experienced perl programmers, I would estimate the most efficient use of our time would be for someone (or even me) to give them a really intensive course in advanced perl programming for a month or two.

IOW: it's not just the target audience, the problem domain is also important. Some things just can't be solved correctly or "maintainably" with only minimal skills. In those cases, it's better to try to raise the skill level (in whatever way suits the business).

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.
