in reply to The temptation to roll your own module than use an existing one....

Instead of looking for that ONE module - consider looking for many modules and write some glue code to get the desired result. Sounds easy, right? However, in my frustration to find that ONE module, i wound up rolling my own and submitting it to CPAN - go figure. . .

Now i am faced with a delima - creature feep. Example, i received an email from a person who modified my module in a rather cool way. Should i add the patch, or dismiss it due to 'loose cohesion'?

i realize that i am now talking to myself - but i think you just inspired me to decompose my module into smaller ones, that way, i might just be able to incorporate this 'cool idea' presented to me as a specialized subclass.

Thanks :)
