Data::Dumper like module for printing and eval data structures
The essential module Data::Dumper is used for printing perl data structures or suitable for eval. Data::Dumper::Names dump variables with names and without source filter.

Module that allows you to declare real exception classes in Perl
Exception::Class allows you to declare exception hierarchies in your modules in a "Java-esque" manner.
Test strings and data structures and show differences if not OK
When the code you're testing returns multiple lines, records or data structures and they're just plain wrong, an equivalent to the Unix diff utility may be just what's needed.
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.
High resolution time, sleep, and alarm for perl
Implement usleep, ualarm, and gettimeofday for Perl, as well as wrappers to implement time, sleep, and alarm that know about non-integral seconds.
This package provides the bulk of the core testing facilities. For more information, see perldoc for Test::Simple, Test::More, etc. This package is the CPAN component of the dual-lifed core package Test-Simple.
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.
Library of test functions for exception based Perl code
This module provides a few convenience methods for testing exception based code. It is built with Test::Builder and plays happily with Test::More and friends.
Test::Deep gives you very flexible ways to check that the result you got is the result you were expecting. At its simplest it compares two structures by going through each level, ensuring that the values match, that arrays and hashes have the same elements and that references are blessed into the correct class. It also handles circular data structures without getting caught in an infinite loop. Where it becomes more interesting is in allowing you to do something besides simple exact comparisons. With strings, the eq operator checks that 2 strings are exactly equal but sometimes that's not what you want. When you don't know exactly what the string should be but you do know some things about how it should look, eq is no good and you must use pattern matching instead. Test::Deep provides pattern matching for complex data structures.
Perl module with test functions and features
Most commonly needed test functions and features. This module provides you with the most commonly used testing functions and gives you a bit more fine-grained control over your test suite.
Perl Modul, This module provides a few convenience methods for testing warning based code
Test::Warn - This module provides a few convenience methods for testing warning based code
Run Perl standard test scripts with statistics
This package allows tests to be run and results automatically aggregated and output to STDOUT.
This package is the shared library for perl.
Stringified perl data structures, suitable for both printing and eval
Given a list of scalars or reference variables, writes out their contents in perl syntax. The references can also be objects. The content of each variable is output in a single Perl statement. Handles self-referential structures correctly. The return value can be evaled to get back an identical copy of the original reference structure. (Please do consider the security implications of eval'ing code from untrusted sources!)
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.
