It's true about "use", but "require" doesn't. And that could be the ticket for making modulinos less weird on the command line

Hi

modulinos are golf, which is a game, a gimmick, and not a feature to be used for work,

so say no modulinos , an evil gimmick )

If a user can be bothered to create a  symlink. I.e., /bin/something -> path_to_pm

Then the user can be bothered to create

cat>/bin/something use TheModule; TheModule::BinSomething( @ARGV );

Its literally no effort at all to accomplish, esp if bin/something is created by the module installation software

The only thing modulinos can accomplish is to substitute 1 symlink for 1 regular file -- what a ridiculous goal to write extra code for
