+Modern::Perl - enable all of the features of Modern Perl with one import
+
+Modern Perl programs use several modules to enable additional features
+of Perl and of the CPAN. Instead of copying and pasting all of these
+use lines, instead write only one:
+
+ use Modern::Perl;
+
+This enables the strict and warnings pragmas, as well as all of the
+features available in Perl 5.10. It also enables C3 method resolution
+order as documented in perldoc mro and loads IO::File and IO::Handle
+so that you may call methods on filehandles. In the future, it may
+include additional core modules and pragmas (but is unlikely to
+include non-core features).
