in reply to Common uses of "use"
really depends on what you use perl to do. if you use TK consistently I'd expect to see TK modules used, or if you're writing a lot of CGI then that's what you'd see.
Not that I'm any expert (far from it), but Me personally, I do a lot of sysadmin/file manipulation and goofing around with files. So I have an abnormally large number of scripts with the following modules in use... also, since I am cpan limited I don't generally use modules that I can't get with the base install... which makes life a pain, but it still beats other programming languages...
use Getopt::Long qw(:config no_ignore_case bundling); #or some variati +on of this. use Cwd; # I like to keep track of where I started before cd'ing use File::Basename qw(fileparse); use File::stat; use File::Find; #love this guy use Time::gmtime; #for timestamps, etc use Time::Local; #time's easy to manip if it's a single scalar use File::Copy; #somewhat DOS/Linux portable (crippled) copy use Carp; use constant CONSTANTNAME => Value; # der... use Tie::IxHash; #it's slow, but sometimes you need an ordered hash use File::Compare; #somewhat portable file diff, truthfully laziness u +sually wins and I usually just call diff as a system call...
