in thread List of Perl modules corresponding to PHP function groups?

I'm not comparing Perl to PHP. I just want to compile an equivalent set of Perl modules for PHP's main function groups (as listed). However, I don't know the details of CPAN well enough to decide whether a given module maps, feature-wise, with a PHP function group. 'Thought there might be some Perl Monks who have been around long enough to help instead of telling me to simply go to CPAN.

    There is no such list to my knowledge, but it sounds like a very useful advocacy tool to have. It's something I could imagine taking the time to build, but I'm wary of promising anything as my todo list is already much longer than my allotment of tuits.

    I understand. Question: do you need *all* of these things blindly? I would suggest a piecemeal approach - install only what you need when you need it....although a matrix showing the "equivalencies" could be useful...
