It was in almost all respects the best choice for my current project at work, but the then-current version required me to check the return values of method calls for success or failure, and then use an error method to get any reasons for failure that might be waiting.

I wrote Data::Compare::Plugins::Set::Object (blech, what a mouthful) a couple months into my job at GSI.

I'm a developer currently working as a build automation engineer for an e-commerce services company. I've been working with Perl since 1994, and although I started focused on web applications I've gradually moved into toolsmithing and custom applications.
My PAUSE/CPAN ID is MJGARDNER, and I usually host my public development efforts on GitHub.
I help professional Perl developers to engineer modern, disciplined applications in the cloud so they can become experts that write easy-to-maintain code with confidence, increase their relevance in the market and get the best positions, high salaries, and work on interesting projects.
