CPAN modules you love to hate
Originally published in June 2011 on my previous blog. Fifteen years later the language has changed, the problem has not.
If one thing starts to bother me in the Perl universe, it’s all the dependencies which force you to pull half of the CPAN each time you try to install a major module.
Don’t get me wrong: I love Perl, I love CPAN, I love modules and I definitively love code reuse BUT may be we start doing it the wrong way.
