Use standard Perl modules

If you're writing a piece of code and you think "surely someone has done this before", then you're probably right. Chances are that someone has written the code, debugged it, tested it, documented it, and may even maintain it and have a lot of facilities that you would love to have but cannot justify in terms of your development time. And with Open Source, chances are that you'll be able to use the code that's already been written by someone else!.

As well as built-in functionallity, Perl is supplied with a wide range of very commonly required modules - things like Time::Local for converting times from seconds, minutes, hours, day, month, year into a number of seconds from 1.1.70 (so that you can calculate with times). There's a further wide variety available on the CPAN at www.cpan.org, and probably even more in your own organisation. And don't forget standard appliactions either - such as YaBB which we use for our forum and Movabletype which I use for these daily writings.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
