in reply to Favourite modules March 2004

• YAML because I've gotten tired of hand-editing XML
• Storable for fast storage
• Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for delivering complicated data to non-perl people
• Audio::Data is fast, use sox to convert to wav
• GraphViz to draw networks
• File::Slurp for extraordinary laziness
• File::Flat because I'm just as lazy about directories as files
• HTTP::Daemon when I need to add a web server to a program, instead of the other way around.

These two seem to make simple things hard and hard things simple:

• CGI::Application
• HTML::Template

File::Slurp and File::Flat? File::Flat has a slurp method, but neither it nor File::Slurp's use binmode (on purpose -- dumb).
