Re^2: Module Bloat and the Best Solution

Just out of interest, and if it's not breaking any trade secrets, what modules do you have on your "core" list?

Cheers,

These are the modules that I reach for first when trying to solve a problem: Scalar::Util Scalar::MoreUtils List::Util List::MoreUtils (This is just a phenomenal module) File::Slurp DBIx::Class Catalyst and, possibly, CGI::Application DBM::Deep Test::Deep, Test::Warn, Test::Exception, DBD::Mock (numerous others in this category) Set::* Algorithm::* Tree Template Toolkit, Excel::Template, PDF::Template, CAM::PDF, Test::PDF Moose And this is just what I can think of in 10 minutes. Some of them are written/maintained by me and most have been contributed to by me or people I know. In addition to this list is a knowledge of how to navigate CPAN and whom to ask when I want to solve something. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]
