Yep.  I write scripts that will be used by many of my
co-workers.  I cannot guarantee that they have
specific modules installed, or that they are even
using ActiveState Perl (the other option for my
company is Rational's ccperl).  So I can't be sure
that other people who run my scripts will even have
"basic" modules like Win32, or Cwd.  Rational's perl
doesn't have these in the standard installation, btw.

More often than not, I will pull the code directly
from the module I want to use, if it's not too
complex.  I always give credit to the source, of
course.

In general, however, I agree -- and in my case I'm not
actually re-writing something that someone else has
done (and probably better than I could in the time allotted).
