Notice a great post on reddit, the author listed some useful modules in it. I am excited for that Perl community always appears to be full of vitality and innovation that surprise us.

Currently at home I'm using Perl for:
A web scraper which uses
WWW::Mechanize,
HTTP::Request and
pQuery for the communication and HTML heavy lifting, Moose as the OO system (it's amazing!) andLog::Log4Perlfor logging.
DBIx::Class is used to interface with the database back-end (from SQLite to MySQL).
A couple personal sites written either with
Catalyst or
CGI::Application. The latter is now re-branded as
Titanium and should switch to it.
During development, I use
Plack as an amazing Perl web serverwith which I can easily test sites.
I use Gearman::XS (::Worker and ::Client) either to distribute requests and replies for computationally expensive operations across my machines (netbook can ask desktop or macmini, for example) or for "parallelising" tasks using less code and having less headaches.
I use Cache::Memcached::Fast as an easy way to store/fetch key/values on the amazing Memcached server.
The one module I have on CPAN uses Any-Moose for its OO, so that in case you have the faster Mouse it'll use that instead of Moose.
That's at home. I do love Perl.
