It helps make clear what functions are local to your script, as opposed to built in or buried in a module. It is one of the few places where I have a big disagreement with Damien Conway in his Perl Best Practices book.

It will only work on Unix-like systems, and requires modules to be installed (HTML::Entities) before you can even install it. And it isn't able to install Module::Build-based distributions. Also the code is quite bad, in old Perl 4 style (subs called with '&'). Perl 5 exists since 1995 and the author seems to ignore the Modern Perl trend. Instead, use http://cpanmin.us/ perlmod is exactly what you should not use.
