Folks that I respect have opined that there's no such thing as a "one-off" program. If it's a program, it can be run again, and if it was any good, chances are high that it will be asked for again.
Ayup. That's why I don't use Perl anymore. The productivity boost I get from Perl gets spent very quickly when I suddenly have to maintain that program.
So the only reason to do one-off programs is when you're writing 'em in the shell, and they're gone as soon as you're done.
And, yet, I have a ton of aliases and shell functions. One-off's aren't. -a -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
