Modules in Use

[Anonymous Monk]

Which modules are still being part of your major work and new developments?

[Athanasius]

Task::Kensho is a useful compendium of best-practice modules:

The modules that are bundled by Task::Kensho ... are all taken from various top 100 most used perl modules lists and from discussions with various subject matter experts in the Perl Community.

Hope that helps,

There are tens of thousands of modules available on CPAN. A subset of about 20K are available in the Active State Repository.

Certain modules are so commonly used that they ship as part of the base distribution (no additional installation steps required). In the case of Active State that is about 280 modules, some like Tk come with a whole mess of sub-modules. Some modules like SQlite are so ubiquitous (literally billions of SQLite users worldwide) that Perl code can be written just assuming that it is there.

Do a clean install of AS Perl. From the command line: >ppm query * will give a listing of the "installed" modules.

Thank you for details. I am already aware of plethora of modules. I am looking for any particular set of modules that has come to use in the new development. Is Tk or CGI still being used widely? Is it still DBI or DBIx::Class? Different installations will have different requirement and hence individual preference. I am looking for some general knowledge for new developments.
