cpan-audit checks your modules for security vulnerabilities
/u/briandfoy also says: "We've revitalized CPAN::Audit. It's a tool that can scan your installed modules for known security issues. It's all at cpan-audit. Along with that, I'm soliciting people to sign the keys that I use to sign the data that we distribute. Since this is security software, we want people to trust the data that we are giving them. Just follow the instructions."

Migrating Perl to Raku
In January 2018, I proposed a CPAN Butterfly Plan to convert Perl functionality to Raku as closely as possible to the original API. I stated this as a goal because Perl (as a programming language) is so much more than syntax alone. Ask anyone what Perl's unique selling point is, and they will most likely tell you it is CPAN.

5 great Perl scripts to keep in your sysadmin toolbox
All language package index websites are a poor imitation of metacpan.org. Without a doubt it is the single best package website I have used for finding packages, reading docs, examples, version changes, source repo. Everybody should be shamelessly copying it.

Day 5: CI for Win32-Wlan Perl module
While the indicates that this is a Windows-related thing, there are a number of packages on CPAN that are in the Win32 namespace, but also work on Linux. This one, it seems does not. It seems at least one of its dependencies, the Win32-API does not work on anything else besides Windows.

Use Dist::Zilla to Create a Perl Distribution
A Perl distribution is an archive of files that includes a Perl module. There are no official rules on what non-module files must be included in a distribution, but they often include (among other things) test scripts, a Makefile.PL, documentation, and the license. These distributions are commonly uploaded to CPAN, which is a place for Perl programmers to upload their Perl distributions for the purpose of sharing their code.
