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.

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?).

I think a lot of the Class::* hierachy exists because the author thinks that if everyone just used his module, so many problems would just go away. In some cases that may be true, but it's still Hubris
