CPAN is possibly the best feature of Perl and a way for beginners to easily solve complicated problems.

Here's a non-exhaustive list of what I'm planning to cover in this talk:
* What is CPAN?
* Why should I use CPAN?
* How can I search CPAN?
* How do I install CPAN modules?
* How do I use a CPAN module in my code?
* What are the "best" modules for a set of common tasks?
