The Test:: modules are absolute essentials for me. Never develop without them. Once you get test infected you won't either :-)
Although Test::More has been core since v5.007003 other useful things like Test::Differences, Test::Exception, etc. are not.
Other essentials for me include:
- Template - I like templates. Template Toolkit meets my requirements best.
- AppConfig - saves me typing and makes all my apps work the same.
- CGI::Application - saves me code and encourages me to be good
- DBI - the best DB layer I've come across in any language
- CPANPLUS - makes automating CPAN installs so much simpler
- Class::DBI - saves me so much typing when developing DB applications
- Exception::Class - I like exceptions
- HTML::Parser - is my friend for messing with HTML

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.
