in thread Do file.pl (replacing subs?)

I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't know that use loads and imports a module to maintain code.

I don't see a big distinction between executing code in a separate file and using a module.

I have no problem sending the whole of an updated module, if necessary.

Your situation doesn't seem appreciably different from what modules are intended to accomplish.

    Heh, the only real case for this i can think of is say you offer some kind of script, someone downloads it and makes a bunch of modifications. If you upgrade the script (a function in this case) you would wipe out all those mods if you sent the entire script. Of course this is a rather limited idea i suppose and it makes certain assumptions which by no means are always true. But that was basically my reasoning behind it.
