fine, except that creating a module seems like a big deal. you are minimizing the effort when you show me one subroutine as a module. there is a heap of bookkeeping to attend to. the docs indicate that modules are meant to be created and put in public use - i.e., generally of use. i just want a create an application where a few different scripts can all call on some common subroutines. am i making to big a fuss? is creating a module a trivial task?
