This question cannot be answered for the general case. What modules you
need depends entirely on the task you're trying to accomplish.
Perl comes with quite a few modules, most of them usuful in a lot of
instances. There are a few other modules that stand out among the CPAN
crowd, namely (IMO of course): POE, LWP, MLDBM, Storable, Date::Parse,
Date::Format, URI::URL, and Template. They're not all necessarily useful in
many situations, but they solve problems in their respective domains rather
elegantly. These are modules I've used, there are a few others (Inline
springs to mind) that I hear are equally elegant.
