( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I've been programming with Perl for quite sometime now and find myself constantly refering less experienced Perl programmers to make more use of the core Perl modules. For example, I've had to explain the use of strftime more times in the past month than I can remember.

Despite this, I rarely stray far from the core modules other than to use the various DBI/DBD, XML, and LWP modules. I just haven't needed to step to far from these modules, or so I seem to think. What modules outside the core are essential for you to get your work done an why? Is there some necessary module that you think I've missed?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
