Remember ... this is Perl ... and we don’t actually use the language (just) because we love the punctuation. :-D We do it for CPAN, which at this immediate moment has:
73,482 Uploads; 23,767 Distributions; 101,586 Modules; 9,348 Uploaders.
... and by the time you read this, those numbers probably will have increased again.
So, no matter what it is you’re doing, it has already been done. That realization should guide your every thought and your every move. Perl has one of the largest and the most mature libraries of ruggedly-tested code out there, anywhere. So, if you want a new door, you don’t pick out a tree and buy a sawmill ... you pick out a door that suits you (they’re all free ...), and you install it. Done. If you’ve got a problem, you select a solution to that problem and install it. Done.
