Zaxo,

I got that number (50%) from no where really - just trying to isolate a standard, and/or determine if a standard is even really necessary.

Everyone so far has made very valid points and I would most definetely not re-write portions of POSIX.pm or the DBI, etc. I think that would be a foolish thing to pursue since they work well.

I was hoping to see what the "mindset" is among the monks and from the community in regard to this topic. I know from other languages this issue is an issue - and I am glad to see that with Perl that is not the case. *Just another reason to write in Perl !
