OK -- this has degenerated and that's uncalled for. (a) Sam didn't say what what in the quotes above. That was someone's (bad) paraphrase. (b) Other than the initial "yuck", Sam asked a very reasonable question about the design decisions behind the module. Posting about a module in public invites public criticism of the module -- particularly the technical details and often motivational criticism (when modules duplicate existing ones). If someone doesn't like it, just release modules to CPAN and don't post about it afterwards. Let's not confuse design commentary with personal attacks. David
