Lots of good advice in this thread. And the timing is especially good,
since I'm bootstrapping a Perl startup at the moment (see
http://stratopan.com).
I would also suggest looking at Pinto (http://metacpan.org/module/Pinto)
for managing your dependencies.
I've used tons of CPAN modules for
Once you have decided what modules you need. Don't rely on installing them
all directly from CPAN. Keep the exact versions of the module you're using
in either your own CPAN mirror or packaged with your self-brewed Perl to
simplify consistency across all of your environments.

Your first worry should go to actually being alive later on. When you're
starting up, your resources are limited, the work that needs to be done
ASAP is huge,

would advise against producing production code that has lots of external
(CPAN) dependencies, especially if the normal path through those modules
touches

I made a few bundles with Syntax::Collector. There's the ones that i use...
- in all packages: strictures, autodie, feature, Carp, true
- to change the syntax, like Method::Signatures

I understand that this means: avoid modules with lots of dependencies. Is
that right? I thought Moose only slowed things down at

Surely you need to have an idea of the scale of the project before
making

Thank you, all. That's very good advice.
Yup, the main thing is to make money before it runs out. Abigail, your
comments to Ovid's blog post (about testing) were just what i needed to
read at the time, on this subject.
Summary of the ideas so far:
- it depends on the size of the project
- don't
