mjscott2702:

Currently, the only thing common to all my programs is:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

You didn't ask about comments, but I also add a comment block like the following just before the use pragmata:

#
#       scriptname.pl <args description>
#
#       Brief description of programs and arguments
#
# YYYYMMDD: Latest change(s)
# YYYYMMDD: Prior change(s)
# ...
# YYYYMMDD: original version

[download]

From there, it depends on what type of script I'm writing. My most commonly used modules are (roughly in order):

use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
use File::Find; 
use Net::FTP;
use Mime::Lite;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;

I'm trying to start getting in the habit of using (even though I should upgrade to 5.12):

use 5.10.0;
