CPAN
From PerlNet
This article is a stub. It is requested that it be improved and expanded. You can help PerlNet by expanding it. Once it has been improved, this message should be removed.
The CPAN is the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, and arguably Perl's greatest resource. The CPAN contains thousands of open-source and freely distributable modules. By using the CPAN developers can build upon existing code and rapidly develop applications much faster than would otherwise be possible.
