CPAN Ratings: D-oh reviews CPAN Ratings: D-oh reviews en-us 2000-08-23T07:00+00:00 Perl 1901-01-01T00:00+00:00 1 daily Chris Dolan <p>Rating: 2 stars</p><p>D::oh a tiny module for redirecting STDERR and STDOUT. It's really not very useful, since it can be replaced with a couple of lines of simple Perl code. Instead, it's intended to be a CPAN joke. <br><br>Nitpicks <br> -------- <br> While funny, use of the D namespace is bad form. It should be Debug::Doh or something like that. <br><br>The synopsis is wrong. The output it putports to yield is incorrect. <br><br>The module has sortFile in it's @EXPORT_OK. Huh? There is no sub sortFile in the module, nor is sortFile employed. <br><br>The module unnecessarily imports on File::Basename. <br><br>Chris Nandor: It's bad form to rate your own module without saying as much in the review, let alone giving that module a 5. <br> </p> Chris Dolan 2003-08-27T07:51:37 Chris Nandor <p>Rating: 5 stars</p><p>You know you love it. <br><br>(Giving honest criticism about how bad it is misses the point entirely. This should probably be in the Acme:: namespace, but it predates Acme:: by a few years.)</p> Chris Nandor 2003-08-26T13:16:31
