Does this skill support modern Perl features?

Yes, it specifically promotes features from Perl 5.32 and later, including sub signatures, state variables, and modern object-oriented programming with Moo.

How does it handle Perl testing?

It provides boilerplate and best practices for Test::More, Test::Exception, and automated testing using 'prove', aiming for high coverage and reliability.

Can I use this for web development?

Absolutely. It contains specialized implementation patterns for Mojolicious, Dancer2, and Plack/PSGI environments.

Is security included in the guidance?

Yes, the skill enforces security measures such as Taint mode, input sanitization, and HTML entity encoding to prevent common vulnerabilities.

Does it assist with dependency management?

It includes specific workflows for managing library dependencies using Carton and cpanm to ensure reproducible development environments.
