For sake of completeness: This was supposed to communicate that I
generally don't use 'Perl modules' except if using them provides some
kind of signifcant benefit. And 'you must do as I bid you to do,
otherwise, be prepared to face the nameless horror!' is not something
I consider to be a valid argument in favor of 'significant benefit'.
Actually, I think it's rather an argument against that: If there is a
signifcant benefit, why not just name it when being asked for it?
