Therefore, it is difficult for the PHP community to share their code and applications as easily as those in the Perl community, because PHP lacks a unified code library like CPAN to classify and manage application code modules (Everyone familiar with Perl knows that CPAN is a huge library of Perl extension modules, the written application modules can be placed under the appropriate category directory under CPAN. Other users can easily reuse them. Of course, you also need to follow the rules when writing the application module .)
