I am not saying a single program doing one thing cannot be in a single file,
though usually
little harm in making multiple. ASSP has many more features compared to say
iaxmodem,
web interface, etc. Even the man page for iaxmodem is tiny in comparison. If
its features
grew to be extensive likely would be in multiple files.

I am not saying there is any line limit to code in a single file. But clearly
hylafax is broken up
for a reason, as others.
Looking around, while most code in the Linux kernel is say < 1k, there is allot
over with the
largest seeming to be.

/usr/src/linux-4.4.1-gentoo/drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/phy/phy_n.c

If your project already has multiple files, its feasible for some to grow
rather lengthy. But
its rare to see things that are lengthy for multiple functions in a single
file. Not saying it
does not occur. Just not to common.
In the Java world these days, many projects themselves are splitting up their
sources into
smaller modules. Makes it much easier to package, maintain, etc. Not all pieces
need to be
updated and released when changes are made in other areas.
Anyway I am not pushing for assp code to be split up. That was just sentiment I
got from
perl developers I was trying to get to participate in ASSP development.
Why not ask the perl programmers? Ask in a perl IRC channel or mailing list and
see what
they say.... Just show them assp.pl, and say what do you think....
