[4e82a189]28 <para>The <application>Perl</application> module packages add useful objects
29 to the <application>Perl</application> language. Modules utilized by packages
30 throughout BLFS are listed here, along with their dependencies. Most references to
31 <application>Perl</application> modules are in the form of Module, Module::SubName
32 or Module::Sub::Name, however occasionally you'll also see Module, Module-SubName
33 or Module-Sub-Name. Most references on this page are in the latter form, as these
[9ee1058]34 are the official package names.</para>

[4e82a189]53 <para>One module in particular is shown first, as this module's usefulness
54 warrants installation, even though it won't be required by many other modules.
55 The Module::Info module can tell you if a particular module is included in,
56 or has been installed into your <application>Perl</application> installation.
57 Additionally, the module can tell you what versions are installed and what
58 dependencies are required for them. You can even use Module::Info to gather
[9ee1058]59 dependencies of uninstalled modules.</para>
