Now I know I'm gona get voted down for this but there are times when I just don't want to use modules Yes, Thats right I just choose not use them. Why? well to learn more about how things work. I'm not saying modules are bad but many times I make programs not for the purpose of getting something in particular done but to learn HOW to do things. There is (IMHO) a certain wisdom in knowing more about how to do something than just calling a given module.
As a rule I won't use a module unless I know at least in general how it's doing what it's doing.
There is one other issue with modules. If I write a piece of code I know how it works, but using a module means reading many man pages which I find extremely annoying. as such while a module may have more capabilities because I don't know how to use it to it's fullest my own code works better. For example, I can't stand OO, my mind doesn't work that way, so if you point me to an OO module it's not going to do me much good.
Again, I'm not saying modules are bad, I use them frequently. but they should not be view as an all purpose no matter what use this instead of your own code.
of course this is all IMHO.
