The 'use' mantra is perfectly reasonable at work, but the whole point IMHO of this site is to expand the user's Perl and general programming skills. The how and why. And using a module only covers the former. People cutting and pasting other peoples solutions are not my concern here. This isn't a CGI scripts repository, but if it were that attitude would be appropriate.
