Considering the vastness of my ignorance regarding Perl, it is hard to pinpoint which of the many new things I have learned have occurred within the last 12 months. One thing I can do is an ls -lrt in my CPAN download directory to see what new modules I began using recently.

Acme::Tools is something I have been finding increasingly handy these days. Don't be fooled by the name; it is a serious module.
