saying something doesn't make it true

That kind of makes me wonder if that is true :) Anyway, it was supposed to be obvious that it is an opinion. Opinions are often stated as facts to make texts easier to read. "Good" is always subjective; "very good" is always very subjective.

nor does knowing the name of a module teach you anything about it.

Guess what: I thought of that and used this site's wonderful linking mechanism to link the names to search.cpan.org, where you can find the documentation. Is that not wonderful?

I personally like finding out what modules other people like and many have said that they also like that. It's an imperfect world and sometimes people post something that you may find useless. Sometimes most people agree that it is indeed useless. In this case, I am certain that there are people who like my post. That is enough reason to post it. It is the "point", to answer your original question.

In this case, I am certain that there are people who like my post.

I'm new to perl, and I like this post. I think I can learn a lot from it and from comments, people leave here.

The following list contains all the modules I really use for now.

• CGI
• CGI::Application
• CPAN
• Class::Phrasebook::SQL
• DBI
• Data::Dumper
• HTML::Template
• Tk
• XML::Simple
