<p>If you ask me, reading the documentation for everyday CPAN modules (as well as <b>many</b> others) is a hassle. They are usually written with the seasoned Perl programmer in mind. With that said, it can become very difficult to understand CPAN documentation if it isn't a tutorial or walkthrough.</p>
<p>For example, <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~makamaka/JSON-2.53/lib/JSON.pm">JSON.pm</a> is an app that I will soon be using. The issue is, in my eyes, the documentation is poor. It gives you a bunch of functions and what they do, but it says nothing about how to do it, besides the synopsis, which really doesn't help <i>much</i></p>
<p>So, my question to you is, how can I become better at reading CPAN module documentation, and understanding how to use modules that don't come with books or tutorials in them?</p>
