15 From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensho>:
16
17 Kenshō (見性) (C. Wu) is a Japanese term for enlightenment
18 experiences - most commonly used within the confines of Zen
19 Buddhism - literally meaning "seeing one's nature"[1] or "true
20 self."[2] It generally "refers to the realization of nonduality of
21 subject and object."[3]
22
23 Task::Kensho is a list of recommended modules for Enlightened Perl
24 development. CPAN is wonderful, but there are too many wheels and you
25 have to pick and choose amongst the various competing technologies.
26
27 The plan is for Task::Kensho to be a rough testing ground for ideas
28 that go into among other things the Enlightened Perl Organisation
29 Extended Core (EPO-EC).
30
31 The modules that are bundled by Task::Kensho are broken down into
32 several categories and are still being considered. They are all taken
33 from various top 100 most used perl modules lists and from discussions
34 with various subject matter experts in the Perl Community. That said,
35 this bundle does not follow the guidelines established for the EPO-EC
36 for peer review via industry advisers.
37
38 Starting in 2011, Task::Kensho split its sub-groups of modules into
39 individually-installable tasks. Each Task::Kensho sub-task is listed
40 at the beginning of its section in this documentation.
41
42 When installing Task::Kensho itself, you will be asked to install each
43 sub-task in turn, or you can install individual tasks separately. These
44 individual tasks will always install all their modules by default. This
45 facilitates the ease and simplicity the distribution aims to achieve.

86 Since version 0.34, Task::Kensho has made use of the
87 "optional_features" field in distribution metadata. This allows CPAN
88 clients to interact with you regarding which modules you wish to
89 install.
90
91 The "cpanm" client requires interactive mode to be enabled for this to
92 work:
93
94 cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Testing
95
97 <http://www.enlightenedperl.org/>, Perl::Dist::Strawberry
98
100 This list is by no means comprehensive of the "Good" Modules on CPAN.
101 Nor is this necessarily the correct path for all developers. Each of
102 these modules has a perfectly acceptable replacement that may work
103 better for you. This is however a path to good perl practice, and a
104 starting place on the road to Enlightened Perl programming.
