Re: Modules

I use modules for complex things that I might get wrong. To re-use other people's code is often better than to re-invent their solutions.

https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Mechanize::Examples has some good examples of useful scripts that are short and simple.
Imagine how hard it would be to write the same scripts without the module.

When I have an issue that I think others must also have faced, I look for a module to solve the issue.

But I am critical to modules that are outdated/abandoned, heavy with many dependencies, or unproven with few downloads etc.

I also remove modules when I no longer need them. I find this easier with App::cpanminus
