Hmm, so what does this mean? Yes or no, and why?

Even better, that is something I actually like to hear :-)


BTW: I realized, that if someone wants to write a perl prog, and
needs some isolatable functionality, he of course would have a
look at CPAN. But if someone, say, uses ClearCase, why at all he 
should look into the CPAN scripts area? So I wonder if the scripts
area is doomed to "not work" by fundamental reasons. Are there any
usage statistics confirming or rejecting this theorie?
