in reply to What CPAN Modules are Good to Learn From?

Consider starting with the core modules included with your Perl distribution.
After those, I would suggest the list of Recommended CPAN modules from Perl Best Practices.
After those, ones that address goals you have and have high ratings.

Well, that's my variable worth opinion at least.

    Sage advice in the right hands but taken as a broad, generic statement, this is not a good idea. I assume the OP is looking to help new Perl programmers get up to speed with current techniques but modules found in the CORE were designed up to a decade ago and do not follow "Modern" "Best Practices" for various reasons (legacy support, etc.).
