Category: Best Perl Module 18
Any perl hacker will tell you that CPAN is where its at. Its like having God's toolbox available to you, with all the hammers and nails you need to practice all the princibles of good perl programming (my favorite is laziness)! This award goes to the perl module that you couldn't live without. Or maybe its just a super sweet hack. Whatever, if its in CPAN, its eligible... its just up to you to
nominate it.

What CPAN.pm [perl.com] does is bridge the gap between your desktop perl code and the rest of the world, with both elegance and great functionality. The CPAN itself, in collaboration with CPAN.pm, has made perl the first popular programming language that lives and breathes on the internet.

Maybe it's not available separately from CPAN, but it must count as one of the most useful modules around.

I'm sure that if I were never under any time pressure, I wouldn't have to use it, but no other single module comes close.
(Also, I think this award is for best Perl module, not best CPAN perl module, so strict.pm qualifies.)
