I totally agree.  The dependancies are a pain when you are deploying 
to servers you don't control.  But when you can use CPAN|CPANPLUS or 
even just perl Makefile.PL;make;make test;make install it's not so 
bad.  I really like using well tested code to do things I don't want 
to have to think about figuring out.  Probably my favorite Module 
right now is Net::SMTP,  especially since it is in core.  Makes 
deploying a web app on Win* less hateful.  Also nice when local 
sendmail|postfix|exim|whatever hasn't been configured.

It's ten o'clock. Do you know where your source code is?
