Gotcha. I am a big fan of using the standard libraries for as much as possible. It actually gets on my nerves and is a red flag when people use various frameworks and other syntactic sugar for things which are already present in the core libs. I also avoid libraries which have too many dependencies to parse/review manually. Coming (professionally) from a Perl background originally, that's always been rather irksome (vis-a-vis cpan) and I've learned to check with the $experts when in doubt about what's best/safest to use.
