Re: A Beginners Question on CPAN

I go by popularity. I find that's the best way. (Even if the module came out a month ago, if it is very popular, it cannot be too bad).

Oh, and please do respond with the level of satisfaction using the module you end up using.

I go by popularity. I find that's the best way. (Even if the module came out a month ago, if it is very popular, it cannot be too bad). Don't go judging something by popularity, or you'll end up preferring PHP over Perl ;-) I prefer one well informed and well phrased opinion any time over ten people who just tell me "it's great". I use Linux, although Windows is more popular. I use fvwm2 as my window manager, although others are far more popular. I'm helping the Perl 6 developers, although Python 3000 (or whatever its name is) gets much more positive press. I prefer pen & paper RPGs over MMORPG, although the latter are more popular. I don't care if something is important unless I know why it's popular, and know that the same reasons might appeal to me.	[reply]

Oh lawdy lawd, you are right! I guess I should have said, well, what you said. :P Oh, and depsite me being oh-so-judging, if I do not the popular thing, I'll switch. So hah. And for the record, I prefer Perl, use linux, and do not even like mmorpg's. ;) `<(^.^-<) <(-^.^<) <(-^.^-)> (>^.^-)> (>-^.^)>`	[reply] [d/l]
