I don't use any of the modules listed. I use Path::Class and be done with it. If I have to deal with hrefs, I use URI and be done with it. They even work together! If there's anything I need to know, it's in the POD for those two modules or there's someone I know who knows it.

In other words, unless it's something you have to know on a day-to-day basis, leave it be and know where to find the documentation. Do you really know all the different argument lists for splice()? What about vec()? I don't, but I know that http://perldoc.perl.org does. Good nuff.

My criteria for good software:

Does it work?
Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
