Right, but what if you wrote a bunch of code under, say 5.00503.  Now
you're going to upgrade to 5.8.x (or 5.008x, as the case may be) and
you'd like to know what might be out there to make your life easier,
knowing that you're going to be writing code that does foo, bar and baz.
Since that's my case, I supplied foo, bar and baz to the list, and asked
opinions on what tools (i.e. modules) folks would use, knowing they'd be
working with foo, bar and baz.
