Advanced Subroutine Techniques
Subroutines seem like a basic building block of code. They're simple and easy to understand and use, right? That's true--but there are a few advanced techniques to make your code more maintainable and robust. Rob Kinyon goes beyond making sense of subroutines to making subroutines work for you. [Feb 23, 2006]

Making Sense of Subroutines
Subroutines are the building blocks of programs. Yet, too many programmers use them ineffectively, whether not making enough of them, naming them poorly, combining too many concepts into one, or any of a dozen other problems. Used properly, they can make your programs shorter, faster, and more maintainable. Rob Kinyon shows the benefits and advanced uses that come from revisiting the basics of subroutines in Perl. [Nov 3, 2005]

Building Good CPAN Modules
Your code is amazing. It works exactly as you intended. You've decided to give back, to share it with the world by uploading it to the CPAN. Before you do, though, there are a few fiddly details about cross-platform and cross-version compatibility to keep in mind. Rob Kinyon gives several guidelines about writing CPAN modules that will work everywhere they will be useful. [Apr 14, 2005]
