Perhaps David's original question would have been more clear with a slightly more targeted footnote reference: http://www.drdobbs.com/scripts-as-modules/184416165 Not saying that I agree that such things belong on CPAN (or that I agree that they don't), but I understand the point of the exercise at least. (For a discussion of CPAN appropriateness, perhaps this PerlMonks node could be helpful: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=651014 ) -- Buddy
