The problem with "more is better" approach is that the answer to "what is more" depends on the developers you ask, and the current fad. Does anyone still remember how SOAP was supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread? There was talk of including SOAP into the core. (And to be fair and balanced, also including XML-RPC.) Group of developers, let's call them X, will want all XML utils. But group Y absolutely needs CSV support, while group Z can't live without a distributed robust high-performance message bus solution. No matter how wide we stretch the "more", it will not be enough. Until it's CPAN.Thread Previous | Thread Next
