Firstly, ++graff,

Working in the same company as leriksen, I am sad to report that we are still using Perl 5.005.03 for production purposes. Perl 5.6.1 is available for development testing, but everything must work under 5.005.03 for the production environment. As such, the nice features of the PerlIO abstraction layer are completely unavailable to us at this stage. Momentum however is building, with more than just a little encouragement from those of us who work with Perl on a daily basis, for the development and implementation of a migration strategy to Perl 5.8.0 for both the development and production environments.

All of that having been said, the code which leriksen is working on and writing test cases for is much more complex than differences in open arguments. While from a fundamental level, all code can reduced to the most basic of core functions with high levels of reuse within similar tasks. This however, is not the way in which I see most code being developed - Programming is to a large extent about abstraction and provision of high-level interfaces to functional constructs. It is based upon this philosophy of abstraction and with concern for future maintenance that leriksen has separated code and functionality.

 

perl -le 'print+unpack("N",pack("B32","00000000000000000000001000111111"))'
