These are the modules that I reach for first when trying to solve a problem:
- Scalar::Util
- Scalar::MoreUtils
- List::Util
- List::MoreUtils (This is just a phenomenal module)
- File::Slurp
- DBIx::Class
- Catalyst and, possibly, CGI::Application
- DBM::Deep
- Test::Deep, Test::Warn, Test::Exception, DBD::Mock (numerous others in this category)
- Set::*
- Algorithm::*
- Tree
- Template Toolkit, Excel::Template, PDF::Template, CAM::PDF, Test::PDF
- Moose
And this is just what I can think of in 10 minutes. Some of them are written/maintained by me and most have been contributed to by me or people I know. In addition to this list is a knowledge of how to navigate CPAN and whom to ask when I want to solve something.
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.
