Re: Perl doesn't give error when module is not found 2

Jenda and ikegami discourage running modules directly. In general, they are right, but:
Just because I (and they, obviously ;-)) don't know a legitimate reason to use modulinos and the like, doesn't mean there is no legitimate reason - and what isn't legitimate for one, might well be for someone else.

Just because I (and they, obviously ;-)) don't know a legitimate reason to use modulinos and the like Though modulinos are too sneaky/clever for my tastes ("scripts should use modules, not pretend to be modules"), they do have some well-respected fans, led by their illustrious inventor brian_d_foy, as described in more detail at modulino References. My preference is keep my script mainlines as short as is practicable, with all the heavy lifting done in (unit-tested) module/s. 👁️🍾👍🦟	[reply]
