Re^3: Replacing warn/die with carp/croak?

Let them eval you. That will lead to more maintainable code.

A bold statement. Please expand your reasoning - why would them having to eval me make their code more maintainable? or mine, for that matter?

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

Man, I was trying to avoid the grand-statement effect by calling myself a quack, truly yours, but you called it. OK, well, I think being death prone helps: the module author by making the module code simpler the user in the long term by forcing him to be explicit about what he wants to do with the errors the user's user by making it likelier that the user will provide his own error messages, which will probably make more sense to the user's user. I am here to learn, though, not teach, which I couldn't even if I wanted to, so I am eager to hear your response, shmem, and those of other wise monks. Cheers.	[reply]
