In defense of modules... I would rather use a module and not have to know
what clipboard-interface-command-line-tool to use on which platform. And if
someday Perl6 runs on the new neural-interface OS with yet a different way
to cut & paste our thoughts, perhaps that module will let my code work with
it, without my having to edit it.
