For Hubris, I would list all of those modules you'd have to pry out of the programmers cold, dead hands. Some modules get so wildly popular that they try to use them for everything no matter the task.
On a totally unrelated (and OT) basis, this reminds me of when I first learnt the method of integration with residues: I found it to be so cool that I tried to apply it everytime, everywhere. And once I remind finding myself going mad trying to find a proper contour to calculate a definite integral - until I realized it was an elementary one!!
Without any judgement on the actual usefulness or quality of the modules, I think that list includes: CGI, Class::DBI, Maypole, CPANPLUS, WWW::Mechanize, and CGI::Prototype (hi Randal! How's Rio?).
Indeed at work we use Class::DBI and my impression is that it contributes excellently to all the three Virtues.

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).
