Before introducing a dependency, it's worth checking CPAN ratings, Kwalitee score, bug counts, how quickly are bugs fixed etc.

There was some lively discussion on the I am most likely to install a new module from CPAN if: poll about this a couple of years ago which essentially boiled down to "choose your own metrics". It was interesting to read which metrics were treated as positives by some monks, negatives by others and irrelevant by yet others.

As already discussed to death, I'd focus on Maintainability, tybalt89 on Conciseness, you on Readability. TMTOWTDI! :)

Just so. (++)
