I had been getting closer to posting something on this topic, in response to the somewhat common requests from Seekers of Perl Wisdom to provide help -- as long as it did not involve non-core modules. You did the work for me, providing comprehensive scenarios which exceed my experience level.
Some simple advice I have given to fellow wisdom seekers is to navigate to the appropriate CPAN webpage, click on the "Source" link, and just copy'n'paste the code directly. This is only practical for simple, pure Perl modules, but there are plenty of those available.

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).
