Got to be honest I tended to use the distribution packages for Perl back in the day. That would have been Debian or FreeBSD ports back then. If the module was missing I would shrug it and make do. This cultural approach came from a place I work which was airgapped so we had a local package mirror server which was loaded from Debian CDs.

Also no distracting internet or Google and you had only the man pages to work off.

I really don’t like the culture of ”download any old shit off the internet, ram it in a container and throw it into production”. It keeps me awake. One day the whole thing will come crashing down and instantly spawn a costly magic enterprise solution which will cost a fortune just to mitigate that risk which doesn’t actually mitigate it all just allow the box to be ticked on a compliance form.
