Given that the most important modules used by Perl programmers are already
bundled with any Perl distribution, this is kind of a moot issue. Most of
the modules we talk about (including CGI.pm) are part of the standard Perl
package.
Some of the important ones that aren't part of a standard Perl
distribution that are easily obtainable from CPAN are DBI (database
interface), Tk (graphical interface), Curses (text-based interface) and
LWP (WWW automation). YMMV. What's important is always what you need to
get your job done.
