ojo is very nice, but I find myself more often writing programs that just aren't practical as one liners

    Same here. My reaction was inspired by this: 'However part of my question was how do I extract in one statement what's in between the "title tags". ... Surely there's a simpler way?' I think one of the things that turns people off from using modules instead of plain regexes is because modules often require a lot of boilerplate, which luckily Mojolicious for the most part does not.

      Indeed, I took that to mean do it within one line of code, rather than as a command line one liner.

        Me too, but my thinking was that one-liners are the ultimate way of saying "look at how little code I need" ;-)
