I'd say the must-haves are:

  1. strict
  2. warnings
  3. utf8
  4. Carp
  5. Exporter
  6. List::Util
  7. Scalar::Util
  8. parent
  9. Tie::Hash::NamedScalar and File::Glob because they get auto-required by core under various circumstances.
  10. Everything necessary to bootstrap a CPAN client such as cpanminus.
  11. Test::Harness
  12. Test::More

If you wanted to throw some other stuff in as a bonus:

  1. HTTP::Tiny (though this is probably necessary to bootstrap a CPAN client)
  2. JSON::PP
  3. Class::Tiny
  4. Role::Tiny
  5. Class::Method::Modifiers

In practice there are quite a few modules which are only available as part of the core Perl distribution, and are not on CPAN in their own right. This means that if you cut them out of your Perl install, users cannot obtain them from CPAN. So you probably need to keep them.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name
