A little thing to love about Perl 6 and COBOL

If you haven't already, I highly suggest looking on metacpan.org for modules, and searching for highly rated[1] and recent ones. Things like Path::Tiny[2], Try::Tiny[3] and Function::Parameters[4] can make a huge difference in productivity and readability. Task::Kensho[5] is also useful for getting a good base set of medern modules to choose from for many tasks.

2: https://metacpan.org/release/Path-Tiny

3: https://metacpan.org/release/Try-Tiny

4: https://metacpan.org/pod/Function::Parameters

5: https://metacpan.org/pod/Task::Kensho
