If i take longer than a week to do it, then other measures are called for, like, as you mention, subsets. However you seem to underestimate just how much functionality can be implemented in how little code with Perl.
- jeremiep 11y agoOh I wasn't talking about Perl specifically but about languages in general. I agree that Perl projects tend to stay small enough to be quickly understood and refactored. In fact I don't remember seeing a Perl script more than a few thousands line long. However, don't underestimate how hard it can be to understand your own Perl code when you've been away from it for 6 months :)

I'd rather people not repeat this tired old meme. :( Thank you! :) vvvv
- jeremiep 11y agoSorry, you're absolutely right, I've seen modern perl and it was actually quite clean. I didn't mean to offend by saying this!
