My two were Toolkit and Smart::Comments.

Smart::Comments in particular is quite awesome.  It lets you turn some  
of your comments into debugging prints.  You can make the  
functionality conditional upon the presence of an environment variable  
with "use Smart::Comments -ENV;".  Then, with the environment variable  
set, you get lots of juicy debugging, but when you move your code to a  
production environment where the variable isn't set, the debugging  
"falls out" and doesn't even get compiled.  Nifty.

Check out the docs -- especially the part about one-liner progress bars.
