Query, download and build perl modules from CPAN sites
The CPAN module automates or at least simplifies the make and install of perl modules and extensions. It includes some primitive searching capabilities and knows how to use LWP, HTTP::Tiny, Net::FTP and certain external download clients to fetch distributions from the net. The CPAN module also supports named and versioned *bundles* of modules. Bundles simplify handling of sets of related modules.

The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate, read, and write Zip archive files. Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files. Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or strings. Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and enumerated. They can also be renamed or have their dates, comments, or other attributes queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or uncompressed as needed. Members can be created from members in existing Zip files, or from existing directories, files, or strings. This module uses the Compress::Raw::Zlib library to read and write the compressed streams inside the files. One can use Archive::Zip::MemberRead to read the zip file archive members as if they were files.
Tools for working with directory and file names.
This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters. It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text it wishes to have written to the Makefile. As there are various Make programs with incompatible syntax, which use operating system shells, again with incompatible syntax, it is important for users of this module to know which flavour of Make a Makefile has been written for so they'll use the correct one and won't have to face the possibly bewildering errors resulting from using the wrong one. On POSIX systems, that program will likely be GNU Make; on Microsoft Windows, it will be either Microsoft NMake, DMake or GNU Make. See the section on the "MAKE" parameter for details. ExtUtils::MakeMaker (EUMM) is object oriented. Each directory below the current directory that contains a Makefile.PL is treated as a separate object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile(). All inputs to WriteMakefile are Unicode characters, not just octets. EUMM seeks to handle all of these correctly. It is currently still not possible to portably use Unicode characters in module names, because this requires Perl to handle Unicode filenames, which is not yet the case on Windows.
This package is the shared library for perl.
Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. It is meant to be an alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing. It also does not require a make on your system - most of the Module::Build code is pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way.
The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because they act like die() or warn(), but with a message which is more likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case of cluck, confess, and longmess that context is a summary of every call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use carp or croak which report the error as being from where your module was called. There is no guarantee that that is where the error was, but it is a good educated guess.
Read/Write YAML files with as little code as possible

what modules shipped with versions of perl
Module::CoreList provides information on which core and dual-life modules shipped with each version of perl. It provides a number of mechanisms for querying this information. There is a utility called corelist provided with this module which is a convenient way of querying from the command-line. There is a functional programming API available for programmers to query information. Programmers may also query the contained hash structures to find relevant information.
Return name and handle of a temporary file safely
File::Temp can be used to create and open temporary files in a safe way. There is both a function interface and an object-oriented interface. The File::Temp constructor or the tempfile() function can be used to return the name and the open file handle of a temporary file. The tempdir() function can be used to create a temporary directory. The security aspect of temporary file creation is emphasized such that a filehandle and filename are returned together. This helps guarantee that a race condition can not occur where the temporary file is created by another process between checking for the existence of the file and its opening. Additional security levels are provided to check, for example, that the sticky bit is set on world writable directories. See "safe_level" for more information. For compatibility with popular C library functions, Perl implementations of the mkstemp() family of functions are provided. These are, mkstemp(), mkstemps(), mkdtemp() and mktemp(). Additionally, implementations of the standard POSIX tmpnam() and tmpfile() functions are provided if required. Implementations of mktemp(), tmpnam(), and tempnam() are provided, but should be used with caution since they return only a filename that was valid when function was called, so cannot guarantee that the file will not exist by the time the caller opens the filename. Filehandles returned by these functions support the seekable methods.
Perl Remove files and directories Module
The Perl Module for removing files and directories.
Perl Pollution Portability header generator
Perl's API has changed over time, gaining new features, new functions, increasing its flexibility, and reducing the impact on the C name space environment (reduced pollution). The header file written by this module, typically ppport.h, attempts to bring some of the newer Perl API features to older versions of Perl, so that you can worry less about keeping track of old releases, but users can still reap the benefit.
The distribution metadata for a CPAN dist
Software distributions released to the CPAN include a META.json or, for older distributions, META.yml, which describes the distribution, its contents, and the requirements for building and installing the distribution. The data structure stored in the META.json file is described in CPAN::Meta::Spec. CPAN::Meta provides a simple class to represent this distribution metadata (or distmeta), along with some helpful methods for interrogating that data.
Standalone, extensible Perl module installer
Module::Install is a package for writing installers for CPAN (or CPAN-like) distributions that are clean, simple, minimalist, act in a strictly correct manner with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and will run on any Perl installation version 5.005 or newer. The intent is to make it as easy as possible for CPAN authors (and especially for first-time CPAN authors) to have installers that follow all the best practices for distribution installation, but involve as much DWIM (Do What I Mean) as possible when writing them.
This module provides a convenient way to create directories of arbitrary depth and to delete an entire directory subtree from the filesystem.
A highly capable, feature-rich programming language
Perl 5 is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over 30 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large scale development projects.
Networking constants and support functions
This module provides a variety of constants, structure manipulators and other functions related to socket-based networking. The values and functions provided are useful when used in conjunction with Perl core functions such as socket(), setsockopt() and bind(). It also provides several other support functions, mostly for dealing with conversions of network addresses between human-readable and native binary forms, and for hostname resolver operations.
