Hello. The distinction between library (module) code and script code is important to my answer. I am now using scriptdist and a Vim (my Vi Improved editor) template to automate repetitive coding in my scripts. This is as much templating as I feel I need right now, and it is helping a lot.

If you wonder what is in the Vim template, it is the basic stuff like the perlstarter ("shebang") line and "use strict;" and so on. The scriptdist tool provides supporting files like a MANIFEST and all that (Makefile.PL notably) so that my naked scripts can become installable packages.

scriptdist is perl software by brian d foy and can be found on CPAN

P.S. Don't forget: I am expecting all the people the people who say I am posting to Perlmonks for the XP to automatically downvote this posting w/o explanation, thanks.

human endeavors, foul and disgusting. And ultimately will eat away the insides of the
person who nurtures it.
