I hope people doing that would take into consideration that most of the modules available from CPAN are not being maintained anymore (or just barely) and that they just keep working because of Perl excellent backward compatibility (so far).
In my particular case, I have not been using Perl for anything but very small scripts and one-liners for the last two years. I am still maintaining (what I consider) my most important modules, fixing bugs when they are reported, etc. But the day they tell me that some Perl release has broken all (or most) of them, I would probably say, so long...

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
