Comments for Data::Locations
Using Data::Locations
I have a web page that keeps track of problem reports, and provides a summary at the top. For me, this is a completely natural way to use Data::Locations, as printing out a summary before you get to the data is normally a bit of a pain. Now, I just say "oh, just hold that spot for me, I'll be back later" and when I have the summary information I stick it in there. Very simple, no fuss, no temporary files to worry about.
