In addition to being a great source for UNIXy perl modules, CPAN is *great*
for general Perl stuff. Read the module list. Browse thruĞ CPAN to see
whats available.

There's also Tom Christiansen's (obviously biased) list of "essential" perl
modules. Start out at <URL:http://www.perl.com/perl/> and look around.
There's also a growing collection of schtuff on the Perl Institute's server
<URL:http://www.perl.org/>.

They are great resources; Use them!
