= Eight Useful Modules =

A quick introduction into the following useful modules:

  * File::Operations (/save_file/, /load_file/, /remove_dir/ and many more)
  * Text::WikiText (this whole _abstract_ is written in *WikiText*)
  * Data::NeatDump (neater than Data::Dumper)
  * Data::NeatFormat (show scalars and lists nicely)
  * Date::TimeFormat (there is more than one way to do it)
  * Exception (C++/Java like syntax try/catch/throw with call stack)
  * Parse::PerlConf (write configuration files using perl syntax)
  * Parse::Copec64 (store any complex perl data using letters and digits only)

BTW, [proto-00.txt|the source of this slide] is in *Text::WikiText* format.
