My experience of programming with other languages could be written on the back of a postage stamp and still leave room for a shopping list... so I guess this IS a general problem. It's a GOOD problem, of course. I mean, if you have a passport you have the PROBLEM of deciding what other countries to visit. I'd be very interested to know how monks solve this problem. My method is to burrow deeper and deeper into all the different ways of doing it and then jump up from my desk, run down to the kitchen and put on a jug of espresso, come back to my desk and go ahead with whatever was the last solution I came up with. I feel this might be open to optimsation...
FWIW I'd think perl might even be a bit tricksier than other languages in this way, because not only do you have all the different core Ways To Do It, but you've also got CPAN. I mean, how 'nhell do you ever
make a rational choice of templating module?
