'Hardly no time' is not a very good measurement ... for one
programmer it might be too long of a time. Also, 'just
straight code with no extra modules' gives me the
impression that modules increase developement time ... not
necessarily true at all. Sure, you might spend a bit of
time learning the API for a particular module, but that
time is saved in the long run by not having to do extensive
testing on that module (all things being equal, of course).
One of our goals here at the Monastery is to 'de-bunk' these unjustified myths that CPAN modules are bad, or too
hard to learn, or big and slow. I personally don't program
in Perl because i want fast executing code ... i program in
Perl becaues i want to write code in a timely manner (and
have a lot of fun doing so!). If i need faster code, then
i'll delve into the proper tool, such as C.
