Test-Exception-LessClever (0.006) *

This module has outlived its usefulness -- Test::Exception has been fixed, so it is better to either use that, or use Test::Fatal which is a lighter approach to the same general problem.

This module should be deprecated and removed.

UNIVERSAL-moniker (0.08) *

Perl is not ruby. Monkey-patching UNIVERSAL is horrible. Do not use!

Bundle-Moose (0.01) **

- Does not list what version of Moose it is providing dependencies for.
- Does not list how these dependencies were determined. e.g. What does common::sense have to do with Moose? Where does this dependency come from?
- This would be better written as a generic CPAN meta-tool that traversed the dependency heirarchy for any named dist. I don't want to see an explosion of Bundle::Catalyst, Bundle::DBIx::Class, etc dists on the CPAN.

UNIVERSAL-require (0.13) **

Instead of using this, use Class::Load instead.

Hash-Work (0.03) *

General "utility libraries" such as these are not useful; this one provides harder-to-use and slower implementations than just performing native operations.

for example:

- merge_hashes{ \%hash1, \%hash2, \%hash3) just calls into Hash::Merge
- copy_hash_values is longer to type *and slower* than %newhash = %hash; as it copies every hash element separately.
