Other important modules:

* File::Spec (core)
	- http://search.cpan.org/dist/Path-Class/ which is a more convenient 	
	abstraction above it).

* IO::File/IO::Socket (core)
	- IO::All (non-core) is a convenient abstraction above them.

* File::Basename (core)

* File::Slurp 

* File::Copy (core)

* File::Path (core)

* Class::Accessor or a similar module (like Moose)

* Template (Template Toolkit - non-core).

* Parse::RecDescent - non-core - or a similar module like Parse::Yapp or byacc 
for perl, which have better performance.

* Devel::Trace.

* Test::More and other testing modules.

* Module::Build.

Maybe I'll recall more later.

Stay cool,
