Vote:Best Perl Module 2

So I admit it, I'm a perl junkie. This wonderful little scripting language is the duct tape of the Internet. So the question is which module can you not live without? The leaders are DBI, CGI, CPAN, and LWP. But in the end there can be only one!

  • LWP's one to conider, but really - half the time I use libwww-perl, I'm using it in conjunction with a CGI. Keep in mind which of the two is more important, not simply which is cooler, when casting your vote.

    I just found three scripts in my /cgi/ that begin:

    use CGI;
    use LWP::Simple;
  • DBI has to be the one to vote for as without it life would be difficult for many websites that rely on a database to generate content or to store data (Slashdot is among them and so are most e commerce sites). Without DBI the Internet would not be the same.
