in reply to Which modules should I be using to write modern Perl?

strict.pm has been around longer than Netscape version 1. Targeting "Netscape 1" for webpages certainly isn't "modern web programming". By the same means, "strict" isn't "modern Perl". It's been around for quite a while.

    But the "best practice of using strict" has been around slightly less long... Modern Perl != modern modules (necessarily)


    The zeroeth step in writing a module is to make sure that there isn't already a decent one in CPAN. (-- Pod::Simple::Subclassing)
