It is worth noting that many times when we've relied on third-party modules, the
results have been *more* inefficient, slow, and buggy than writing our own code.
;)  It can also create situations where bugs in the third-party modules have
appeared that would have never been an issue in our own code -- for example, the
current issue with Text::Wrap, which appears to be throwing fatal errors when SA
runs it to generate reports.

Code reuse via third-party modules is certainly not always a good idea for
Spamassassin; there's no point attempting to reuse code if the code quality is
not good enough, or the code just won't fit.

(btw: Net::Server *was* considered for use when preforking was being worked on,
but it was buggy, iirc.  I note that it still doesn't pass its tests on win32,
according to
http://seamons.com/projects/perl/net_server/net_server_preforksimple.html ...)
