Putting It All Together
The Perl community gets a lot of things right right now. Consider the CPAN: we expect a few standards of compatibility and kwalitee, but as long as you adhere to rough consensus, your work is useful and usable to a million other Perl programmers.
We have a good understanding of how to package your work and how to mark dependencies and how to document it, and that rough consensus allows sites such as search.cpan.org to provide infrastructure that allows me to read cross-linked documentation of the 84,944 modules on the CPAN (as of this afternoon).
Even the standard documentation mechanism for Perl modules (POD, adhering to a loosely-agreed organizational scheme) contributes to the utility and usability of the Perl ecosystem.
