Implements default import method for modules
The Exporter module implements an import method which allows a module to export functions and variables to its users' name spaces. Many modules use Exporter rather than implementing their own import method because Exporter provides a highly flexible interface, with an implementation optimized for the common case.

This package is the shared library for perl.
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.
Efficiently compute time from local and GMT time
This module provides functions that are the inverse of built-in perl functions localtime() and gmtime(). They accept a date as a six-element array, and return the corresponding time(2) value in seconds since the system epoch (Midnight, January 1, 1970 GMT on Unix, for example).
This pragma allows you to declare constants at compile-time. When a constant is used in an expression, Perl replaces it with its value at compile time, and may then optimize the expression further. In particular, any code in an "if (CONSTANT)" block will be optimized away if the constant is false.
Establish an ISA relationship with base classes at compile time
Allows you to both load one or more modules, while setting up inheritance from those modules at the same time.
