See also "re-inventing the wheel." This applies less to a learning exercise than production code produced under time pressure.

So GotToBTru is sundialsvc4 ?

How does that answer the question Who are you quoting there?

    He's quoting himself apparently. He's said that about 38 times since 7/13/06. Unsure of the origin or age of the wheel version.

      Thing is: there were other languages, and other scripting languages before Larry Wall wrote Perl. Are we glad he did a thing already done?

      There was CGI, before mod_perl, before Catalyst, before Plack, before PSGI. Should they have stopped at CGI?

        Don't mistake adding explanation for endorsement :) But I dare say the originators of thing[n+1] would be insulted if you insisted they were merely recreating thing[n].
