I have replaced the article with a basic start on actually describing cut and paste programming, rather the in depth discussion of why it it's wrong to do it in Perl (which is what this article used to be).

== Still wrong? ==

"However, adherents of object oriented methodologies claim that this form of programming is still wrong."

It may be wrong and that all code should be always completely different from something else, but most languages have certain things built into them that force you to use the same line of code as a previous situation, such as:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

You cannot avoid writing this line of code in Java in certain situations. 2 cents.
