-There is no requirement to convert anything, Consider the implications,
-Make the most of the opportunity, The pl2pm utility will get you started,
-Adds the standard Module prologue lines, Converts package specifiers from '
-to ::, Converts die(...) to croak(...), Several other minor changes
+=item Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket
-=item Guidelines for Reusing Application Code
+=item Inheritance Concerns
-Complete applications rarely belong in the Perl Module Library, Many
-applications contain some perl code which could be reused, Break-out the
-reusable code into one or more separate module files, Take the opportunity
-to reconsider and redesign the interfaces, In some cases the 'application'
-can then be reduced to a small
