.. I tend to avoid Ingy's modules. Inline::C is great

I can relate to that. If I had to nominate the "most useful non-CORE module", it would be Inline::C.

I look at his other efforts ... and then realise that Inline::C hasn't been updated in over 5 years (despite a growing list of bug reports) ... and I shake my head in disbelief.

Cheers,
Rob
