The module is a standard one in the Perl distribution.

I agree with this, but you have to caveat it with "which distribution" (there are a few) and "for which version of perl". IMO anything that gets in either the base standard distro or the AS distro at any version is good (beyond version specific stuff like the new 5.8 IO:: modules.)
