Hopefully we can forever continue to obfuscate the actual KLOCs... it is not only a useless number, but it can be dangerous. Which is better, more or less lines? A better program can be shorter or longer. Also, many Perl projects have portions from included modules. If you use IO::Handle, should you count the lines of Handle.pm also? What about CGI.pm? I've stopped using CGI.pm, instead I cut&paste out the part to stuff a query string into a hash, and the encoding/decoding. So, my version has less lines of code that actually have to be compiled. But, if you're not counting included modules, then my version with less lines compiled counts as more lines. Okay, so if we include CGI.pm's lines, do we only include the lines I used?

I say leave the KLOCs for the BDSM programmers. ;)
