    UNIVERSAL::moniker
        Author: KASEI <https://metacpan.org/author/KASEI>

        Perl is not Ruby != everything Ruby does is horrible. This module
        has its uses.

    Time::Out
        Author: PATL <https://metacpan.org/author/PATL>

        A wrapper around Perl's alarm()/$SIG{ALRM}, so it has the same
        limitations, e.g. you cannot use this to properly timeout external
        programs started by system()/backtick. For the latter, you might
        want to try IPC::Cmd (run() or run_forked()), or some simpler
        interface for it like System::Timeout. <br><br>

    Util::Timeout
        Author: NOTBENH <https://metacpan.org/author/NOTBENH>

        A wrapper around Perl's alarm()/$SIG{ALRM}, so it has the same
        limitations, e.g. you cannot use this to properly timeout external
        programs started by system()/backtick. For the latter, you might
        want to try IPC::Cmd (run() or run_forked()), or some simpler
        interface for it like System::Timeout. <br><br>

    System::Timeout
        Author: CHENGANG <https://metacpan.org/author/CHENGANG>

        This is a thin wrapper over IPC::Cmd's run(). I'd personally use
        run() directly, it's not much harder or longer to type. Plus,
        IPC::Cmd is a core module. <br><br>

    Module::Quote
        Author: TOBYINK <https://metacpan.org/author/TOBYINK>

        Wouldn't a function like
        load_module(&quot;Math::Module&quot;)-&gt;new(42) be more obvious?
        Is there a specific goal for using custom quote operator (which
        requires Devel::Declare, and thus a C compiler to build)? <br>

    Module::Hash
        Author: TOBYINK <https://metacpan.org/author/TOBYINK>

        Wouldn't a function like
        load_module(&quot;Math::Module&quot;)-&gt;new(42) be more obvious?
        Is there a specific goal for using a tied hash (since there is
        already %INC)?

    Promises
        Author: YANICK <https://metacpan.org/author/YANICK>

        5-star for its documentation. <br>

    Lingua::ITA::Numbers
        Author: PETAMEM <https://metacpan.org/author/PETAMEM>

        Does the author care to explain the sudden influx of
        Lingua::&lt;3-letter-code&gt;:: modules (which look like mostly just
        repackaging of their corresponding Lingua::&lt;2-letter-code&gt;::
        modules with no mention of purpose in the PODs)? The original
        modules are not orphaned either (for example, I still maintain
        Lingua::ID::*). <br><br>No Changes file. Versioning synchronized for
        all 3-letter modules with no indication of what version of the
        2-letter-code module is used. For example, Lingua::ITA::Numbers' doc
        still says &quot;decimals don't work properly&quot;, while
        Lingua::IT::Numbers' doesn't (however, needless use of
        Regexp::Common does gets removed).

    HTTP::Headers::Patch::DontUseStorable
        Author: PERLANCAR <https://metacpan.org/author/PERLANCAR>

        @zaxon: I'm not sure if it's a bug with HTTP::Headers, more like a
        workaround for Storable. See the FAQ in the updated v0.03 for more
        details. <br>

    Storable
        Author: NWCLARK <https://metacpan.org/author/NWCLARK>

        Balancing previous glowing reviews. Storable has it faults, for
        example historically its track record for file format backwards
        compatibility is poor, making programs fail when loading Storable
        files after the module is upgraded. <br><br>Also, more importantly,
        add builtin support for Regexp object already! It's almost 2013,
        Regexp object has been around for, what, more than a decade? I can
        understand not supporting serializing filehandle or coderef, but
        Regexp object?

    WWW::YouTube::Download
        Author: OALDERS <https://metacpan.org/author/OALDERS>

        Works for me too ATM. I've tried several command-line scripts (most
        of them Python-based, like youtube-dl, tubenick, etc). Sometimes
        they work, sometimes they broke. It's the nature of this kind of
        script. The quality comes from persistence. This module has been
        maintained since 2009, through several YouTube's changes. I commend
        the author, good job, and thanks!

    Number::Zero
        From the module's POD: &quot;The number zero and undef are difficult
        to determine in Perl.&quot; <br><br>Are they? <br><br>say
        !defined($data) ? &quot;undef&quot; : &quot;not undef&quot;;
        <br><br>say defined($data) &amp;&amp; $data==0 ? &quot;zero&quot; :
        &quot;not zero&quot;; # yes, warn if non-numeric <br><br>use
        Scalar::Util 'looks_like_number'; <br> say looks_like_number($data)
        &amp;&amp; $data==0 ? &quot;zero&quot; : &quot;not zero&quot;;
        <br><br>Though I understand the need for a convenient
        &quot;is_zero&quot; function if you need to test for zero in a
        program a lot.

    Syntax::SourceHighlight
        Author: MATLIB <https://metacpan.org/author/MATLIB>

        IMO, currently the only usable (read: non-crap) code syntax
        highlighting library on CPAN. Cons: you'll need to install GNU
        Source-highlight (and its development library/header) which pulls
        over 100MB of packages on my Debian. <br>
