2.6: What modules and extensions are available for Perl? What is CPAN? What
does CPAN/src/... mean?


[snip]


Considering that there are close to two thousand existing modules in the
archive, one probably exists to do nearly anything you can think of.

I think this number is seriously out-of-date, considering that
<http://www.cpan.org/modules/01modules.index.html>, which doesn't
include current core modules, claims 10600 modules, and I actually
count 10886 modules in that list.
