Added to all of that, I think a module that has enough examples in it, that projects different scenarios for these examples and one that has an active mailing list, IRC channels or any other mode interactivity can be better to work with judged by the accessibility to these examples and how they can be employed to fit your need and also for the fact that an interaction is taking place between you and the maintainers.

I am relatively new to modules myself so what I do is I identify my situational requirements, zero-in two or more modules potentially capable of doing the same and I ask the more experienced monks about the pros and cons for each one of these modules then make an informed decision on which one to pick for the job at hand. Crucial to tell you "Make sure you've an overview of the modules you intend to ask about - as stated by replies to your post - and that you understand what you are asking in case you needed a consultation on the best track to follow".

Wishing you a nice Perl Journey..
