in reply to How to choose the right module

To ask which CPAN module is best (for a particular use) is not unlike asking which car/TV/<insert consumable(s) here> is best ... since it is, IMO, a very subjective decision.

I would submit that all we monks can do is point out the pitfalls &/or benefits of using particular modules in order to allow you to arrive at a/the decision for yourself - that being said, ultimately the decision should be based on whichever module you feel most comfortable with from the POV of usage, feature(s)/functionality & documentation.

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
