Just as you see from how this thread went, Some people are way too fanatic about CPAN usage. Sure, CPAN has its own goodness, and re-inventing wheel sucks...

You should lookup fanatic in the dictionary.

You should follow up when you get an answer Re^3: Calculating the crc checksum of a file using perl?

But what's the point of borrowing a wheel from CPAN if there is already a perfect wheel siting at your core house, like the one mentioned above here?

Well, if you can't find the wheel in your core house yourself (grep -ri crc32 ....lib... ), get the one you can find, even if its on CPAN or made of hotdogs
