( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Here's the story: We use perl v5.6.1, which will someday change, I hope, but things are slow to change around here. Our product starts out as a (Linux) disk image, so I am frequently unable to use CPAN modules because the powers-that-be are loathe to make a new image. But... I have a window of opportunity here, since a new image is in the works anyway, so I can take the chance to add a bunch of useful modules to the image. So...

I wanted to get some input as to what modules you use and like. I'm sure some modules that made it into 5.8.0 are a good basis, but I'm sure there are more.

Some of the things that we do are: text-processing/parsing, sockets, config-file-reading, db (mysql) stuff, http-request-parsing, process-management, ssl and ssh, ...

I have started out with the following measly list:

We are already using the following:

Can y'all help out and come up with a bunch of handy, nifty, stable, useful, and otherwise good-to-have modules that you like to use, that are not in the v5.6.1 core? I need the common wisdom and experience of y'all over here... TIA

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
