Some other things we talked about at the tech meet last night:

Moose
=====

Moose is a "postmodern object system" for Perl.  It allows you to
easily define very powerful accessors for your classes, it allows you
to create roles (i.e. duck-typing and by contract class shenanigans,)
handles pre-and-post method call actions, and builds a complex

tl;dr: it's a modern way to write Perl classes with less code

Modern Perl
===========

The Modern Perl book is highly recommended.  It's essentially _the_
Perl textbook of recent years.
