(REMOVED)
=item L<Process::Status>
Author: L<RJBS|https://metacpan.org/author/RJBS>
Provides a thin/lightweight OO interface for $?, much like what Time::Piece does for localtime()/gmtime() or File::Stat for stat(). Of course, Real(TM) programmers shift and fiddle bits by themselves, but for the rest of us this module is a nice conv...
=item L<Archive::Any>
Author: L<OALDERS|https://metacpan.org/author/OALDERS>
Nice idea, but the API needs to richer to be more useful (otherwise one will still need to go to individual Archive::Tar, Archive::Zip, etc). Currently the API provided are: listing files and extracting all files. We can't: create archive, add more f...

=item L<Devel::Confess>
Author: L<HAARG|https://metacpan.org/author/HAARG>
Very nifty, it's like Carp::Always but with much more options/features (so you don't need a separate Carp::Always::Color, Carp::Always::Dump, and so on).

I mass download stuffs by putting a bunch of torrent files in a directory on the server and let rtorrent takes care of them. With this module I can quickly whip up a short script to calculate the total size of the downloadable files so I can be prett...

=item L<Module::CoreList>
Author: L<BINGOS|https://metacpan.org/author/BINGOS>
Wow, I was thinking the same exact "godsend" too and turns out some other reviewer already said so. Very very helpful to assist deployment and pick modules to use. I personally made a couple of command-line scripts like pm-in-core or core-s...

=item L<WWW::Mechanize>
Author: L<SIMBABQUE|https://metacpan.org/author/SIMBABQUE>
WWW::Mechanize is of course one of the indispensable tools for any web programmer or admin. The current problem is the proliferation of 3rd party subclasses, the functionalities of which cannot be used together. So you want a polite Mechanize which d...

=item L<Mail::Sendmail>
Author: L<NEILB|https://metacpan.org/author/NEILB>
I used Mail::Sendmail and a few others "older" modules back from the days when it didn't support setting envelope sender different from RFC From, and when the test hung on some dead host.
<br><br>If it's still working for you, great. I personally have moved on to other modules like Email::Sender::Simple, which abstracts sending mechanism (transport) and support SMTP auth, for two. Also, many of the guide/documentation for Mail::Sendma...

=item L<autodie>
Author: L<TODDR|https://metacpan.org/author/TODDR>
I started using autodie in almost all of my applications a few months ago. It's somewhat of a mixed blessing. For existing applications, it can break things and making things less robust, solely because old code are not built with autodie in mind.
<br><br>But the best thing about it is that it's lexically scoped, so for sections of code that you're not sure about, just sprinkle 'no autodie' to get the old behaviour.
<br><br>It should be used on probably 95% of code out there. For the rest of the cases, where you need to report the status of each I/O operation, it's obviously more convenient to check $? instead of trapping exception everytime.
<br><br>+1 for getting it into core.
<br>
=item L<App::FileTools::BulkRename>
Disclaimer: I maintain a "competitor" module, App::perlmv. Apparently a lot of people, like me, likes to rename files using Perl. And the examples in the documentation are about renaming movie files too, something which I do a lot :)
<br><br>I applaud Stirling Westrup for taking a legacy script and improving it. May we have a lot of ideas to borrow from each other.
<br><br>This is an early release, there are quite a few things I find lacking. Most importantly, I suggest adding a test suite as soon as possible. The filesystem differences can be tricky, and CPAN Testers can help providing feedback.
<br><br>Keep up the good work.

=item L<Script::State>
Author: L<MOTEMEN|https://metacpan.org/author/MOTEMEN>
Nice idea, straight and simple interface. A better name could perhaps be chosen? Documentation should be expanded, e.g. to warn users about security, since Data::Dumper a.k.a. eval() is used to load variable content. Also, the implementation does not...
=item L<PathTools>
I guess File::Spec's API is sane enough, but I suspect not a lot of people are using it because there's not enough incentive for it. When 99% population of the world use Unix/Linux/Windows (even Macs been technically Unix for a number of years), &quo...
<br><br>That's why I think Path::Class might have a better chance of succeeding. It gives niceties like a few more convenience methods, a shortcut of getting dir & file object from each other, etc. It gives users more incentive of using a proper ...

=item L<File::Slurp>
Author: L<CAPOEIRAB|https://metacpan.org/author/CAPOEIRAB>
I've been using File::Slurp for years and is generally satisfied with it. However reading the negative reviews today and looking at its RT queue, I realize that this module is broken for many and is effectively abandoned by the maintainer (no new rel...

=item L<Log::Log4perl>
Author: L<ETJ|https://metacpan.org/author/ETJ>
It's a very mature and an excellent logging framework. However, some of the common minor complaints are: 1) It's too complex. I agree: it should not be this hard to get started. 2) Configuration is too verbose. Agreed: but well, what can you do, most...
<br><br>One of the main strengths of Log4perl is its sublogger/subcategory feature, which few other frameworks seem to have.
<br><br>For other alternatives, also take a look at: Log::Handler, Log::Any. And of course Log::Message too.
<br>
=item L<Log::Handler>
Author: L<BLOONIX|https://metacpan.org/author/BLOONIX>
This review mostly compares Log::Handler with Log4perl, which is a mature and one of the most popular logging frameworks.
<br><br>I think Log::Handler's interface is much simpler, nicer, more Perlish than Log4perl. It's a bit similar to Log::Any::App, which I created just because I hate Log4perl configuration.
<br><br>There is a unique concept of maxlevel not normally found in other frameworks, though it can be emulated in other frameworks using filters.
<br><br>At a quick glance, the speed is around twice that of Log::Log4perl, so I'll say it's on the low-end side (there are other much faster logging modules, but anyway speed is not an issue to most people).
<br><br>It currently lacks sublogger (hierarchical categorization and adjustable/automatic appending of subcategory to its parent), so it cannot be used to replace Log4perl in most cases as that's one of the main feature of Log4perl. Which is a pity ...

=item L<Log::Fast>
Author: L<POWERMAN|https://metacpan.org/author/POWERMAN>
This logging framework is also minimalistic: no categories/hierarchiecal loggers, no custom levels, no config file, or other whistles and bells. And the interface & default levels are rather syslog-oriented. But it's fast alright. The POD doesn't...
<br><br>So this module will certainly come handy if you have a performance critical application.
<br><br>Btw, note that the benchmarks are done for actual logging to output. For log statements that do not actually get logged (e.g. because the level is below the desired output level), I don't find that extreme differences in overhead between log...
=item L<Log::Minimal>
Author: L<KAZEBURO|https://metacpan.org/author/KAZEBURO>
Log::Minimal's slogan is "minimal but customizable". It's minimal alright, probably only suitable for simple scripts as the moment you organize your application/library into separate modules, you'll want/need categories instead of just leve...
<br><br>Also, only formats is customizable, there is currently no way to customize level. And the levels are "not standard" (not that there is an official authoritative standard, but the popular convention is TRACE/DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR/FAT...
<br>
DEBUG/INFO/WARN/CRITICAL and NONE). Surely most people would expect another level between WARN and CRITICAL, for non-critical errors? But that is actually just a matter of taste.

<br><br>There's another nice little INI module that can do read/set/delete/unset (instead of just read/dump): Prima::IniFile, but it is included in a totally unrelated distribution.

=item L<DateTime>
Author: L<DROLSKY|https://metacpan.org/author/DROLSKY>
Amidst all the glowing reviews may I add a reminder that, as with everything, there's a catch: runtime performance. On my PC, the speed of creating a DateTime object is just around 6000/sec. If you use DateTime intensively, it can quickly add up.
<br><br>Imagine serving a web page that fetches 50 rows from database, where for convenience you convert each date column to a DateTime object, and you have 120 requests/sec coming in... That's already 6000 objects (an extra second!).
<br><br>Which is unfortunate because DateTime is so wonderful, convenient, correct, complete and all that. So one approach you can use might be to delay converting to DateTime object until necessary.
=item L<Date::Manip>
Author: L<SBECK|https://metacpan.org/author/SBECK>
Wow, there are surely a lot of negative reviews ...
<br><br>First of all, Date::Manip has a long history. I used this module back in 2001-2002, IIRC. Back then it was I<the> swiss army of date/time manipulation, something you use when you want the most flexible/complete thing in Perl. True, it's slow,...
<br><br>But then things change. DateTime project was started, and now it is somewhat the de facto standard. It's more modern and far more modular than the monolithic Date::Manip (every timezone and language support and parsing/formatting modules ship...
<br><br>And then there's the 5.x -> 6.x debacle. As someone who also sprinkle Perl 5.10 requirements to his CPAN modules, I can feel for the author. But the difference is, most of my modules are not that widely used/known, and also many start its ...
<br><br>All in all, you are free to use or not use Date::Manip. There are other alternatives. Pick wisely.

=item L<App::pmuninstall>
Author: L<XAICRON|https://metacpan.org/author/XAICRON>
One would wonder why CPAN clients still don't have this crucial feature Though you see Miyagawa listed in the Credits so maybe cpanminus or its sister will end up having this functionality? One can only hope. At 0.06, some things are not working flaw...
<br><br>
=item L<App::lntree>
Author: L<ROKR|https://metacpan.org/author/ROKR>
I guess this app is still useful, since "cp -sR" still doesn't work as many would expect, and there are Windows users out there (yes, newer NTFS does support symlinks; though I don't know whether this module supports creating symlinks on NT...
<br><br>A minor comment would be on the name, maybe lnstree can be considered instead (since "ln" indicates hardlink, at least for me). Btw, there's also a free software called "lns" to do the exact same thing.
<br><br>
=item L<Data::Clone>
Author: L<GFUJI|https://metacpan.org/author/GFUJI>
I've never encountered difficulty in cloning data structures in Perl, usually I just use Clone or sometimes Storable's freeze + thaw (the later does not yet support cloning Regexp objects out of the box).
<br><br>However, I like Data::Clone for its speed! It's several times faster than Clone or freeze+thaw. So hats up. Planning to use Data::Clone in future projects.
<br><br>Now if we can convince Goro to write a fast serializer/deserializer with compact output (essentially, a faster version of Storable), that would be even nicer :-)
<br><br>
=item L<Data::Pond>
Author: L<ZEFRAM|https://metacpan.org/author/ZEFRAM>
With due respect to the author, I fail to see the practical point of Pond. Pond (Perl-based open notation for data) is the Perl counterpart of JSON, except that implementation is currently only available in Perl (CMIIW), and "Pond represents few...
<br><br>Pond is pitched against Data::Dumper + eval, which is dangerous, but Data::Dumper + eval is by far not the only method available for serialization. Perl can do Storable, JSON, YAML, even PHP serialization format.
<br><br>The documentation does not show what Pond looks like.
<br><br>One cute thing about Pond is that you can check Pond syntax using a single regex. But apart from that, there's nothing compelling in using Pond to serialize data.

=item L<File::Which>
Author: L<PLICEASE|https://metacpan.org/author/PLICEASE>
You can always count on CPAN to have prewritten modules for various things, including this one. I've never bothered before about portability and just rely on the "which" command, but for one reason there's a time when I just couldn't do tha...
<br><br>Btw, there's also File::Which::Cached.
=item L<String::ShellQuote>
Author: L<ROSCH|https://metacpan.org/author/ROSCH>
I admit it. Ever since I know about escapeshellarg() and escapeshellcmd() in PHP, I've been reimplementing this function in Perl literally a million of times (mostly because of laziness and because it only takes a couple of lines in Perl). Only a fe...
<br><br>The only problem for this module is lack of visibility. Before I've never read articles or blog posts mentioning this module, ever. Yes, we have system() that can bypass the shell, but qx() can't. So yes, this module needs to be marketed more...

=item L<Capture::Tiny>
Author: L<DAGOLDEN|https://metacpan.org/author/DAGOLDEN>
Another very handy little module that takes the hassle out of figuring the various mechanisms of capturing output.
<br><br>Nice interface, great documentation, very easy to use. But....
<br><br>Currently it cannot just capture stdout I<ONLY> or stderr I<ONLY> (while leaving the other alone). I believe this is one of the most commonly requested feature (already in RT). If that feature is implemented, this module deservers a 7-star ra...
Rating: 8/10
=item L<File::chdir>
Author: L<DAGOLDEN|https://metacpan.org/author/DAGOLDEN>
This is a handy little module, with a simple and nice interface. One of the more common bugs encountered in my scripts is forgetting to track the current working directory after doing chdir() in subroutines. By localizing $CWD, I don't have to worry ...
