You're completely right of course. The issue with not refactoring is that every error condition is slightly (or, in a few cases, vastly) different. The deadlines are on the order of hours, not days or weeks, and it'll take some thought on how to reorganize the code so that these slight variations can be handled from a few functions. It's not so much fail-and-log or fail-and-die. This is "fail and connect to different db to pull out sensible defaults for unset fields in existing database but only if called in a certain context".

In other words a nightmare. But your point stands that if I can refactor now, the extra ten minutes is probably worth it.

Cheers,
Erik

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.
