Build from scratch to teach yourself about things, but use the wheels
already invented for real/production work.

The most important skill a programmer can have is the ability to read.

Hi all,
I have a dilmma for the last few days. I read an article about '10
things every Perl hacker should know' (available here: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6077064.html)
.
And I was concerned about the point that says NOT to reinvent the
wheel. I was just thinking to build up a traversal program for a
directory a couple of days ago and then I read this article.Now Perl
has so many modules made by 'The Gurus'.And I found one of them
"File::Find" which made my work so easy.
I wanted to know , what is your opinion on the same. Should we build
up the code from the very scratch - In that way we learn new ways to
build up the same code which may help in coding something similar in
a better way, or use the modules whenever/wherever they are available.
Any suggestions/opinions will be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Gunwant Singh.
