It can. This is also an area where the cpan rating sytems can be very helpful: ( http://cpanratings.perl.org ). It can be helpful in some cases to give the less useful module a low rating with a comment that includes a pointer to some other module, which may actually be more useful. Of course, if the author is cooperative, this could also be appropriate in a "SEE ALSO" of the documentation. Mark -- http://mark.stosberg.com/
