And if you are going to write anything that will take more than about
half a page, do a search on CPAN and you will likely find it is already
done as a module with examples of how you write your one line with the
parameters to invoke it. For those advocating other languages, please
provide the equivalent location of a repository of available code. Java
might be getting close in terms of available library and database
connector code, but I don't think there is a centralized way to find
anything.
