in reply to Modules you build yourself = Your Child

You, sir, appear to have “a problem.”

Maybe it is “an attitude problem.”   Maybe it is that at the of forty-five you are stuck at the age of eleven.   I don’t know.   I don’t care.

Don’t ask me to care; certainly don’t require or expect me to.   Have a nice day ... in another place and time.

“A CPAN module” is ... software.   Nothing more; nothing less.   You presume that it is good enough for ten thousand programmers to incorporate into their software and to use it every day.   If you undertake to provide such a thing, please be very certain that you do.   If you do, then everyone will know (and will say, without provocation) that you did.   But if they do not say this, do not whine in public places.

I, after all, might someday be one of those “ten thousand programmers,” and let the truth be known that my standards are extremely high.   So are my risks.   By using your code, I am putting a tremendous amount of faith in you.   Kindly do me the courtesy of dazzling me with the thoroughness and completeness of your work.
