'Hardly no time' is not a very good measurement ... for one programmer it might be too long of a time. Also, 'just straight code with no extra modules' gives me the impression that modules increase developement time ... not necessarily true at all. Sure, you might spend a bit of time learning the API for a particular module, but that time is saved in the long run by not having to do extensive testing on that module (all things being equal, of course).

One of our goals here at the Monastery is to 'de-bunk' these unjustified myths that CPAN modules are bad, or too hard to learn, or big and slow. I personally don't program in Perl because i want fast executing code ... i program in Perl becaues i want to write code in a timely manner (and have a lot of fun doing so!). If i need faster code, then i'll delve into the proper tool, such as C.
