I'm one of the creators of machetEC2, the Amazon Machine Image designed for working with data on Amazon's EC2 platform.
machetEC2 comes with Perl but no Perl modules. The reason for this is simple: I'm not a Perl hacker and I didn't know which ones to include!
@punkish (or anyone else), I'd LOVE to get an email with a list of the best packages/modules Perl has for doing science. We'll bundle them into the next version of machetEC2. (If you're feeling lazy, just leave a list of them in the comments to this node -- I'll check it later...)
Even better: check out the build scripts for machetEC2 at the Infochimps GitHub page and add whatever packages you think are necessary to config/packages.yaml. Send Infochimps a pull request and we'll include your changes!

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
