Perl Patterns

This is the modern Perl guide you'd want if you're still writing Perl in 2024 or later. It covers the v5.36+ idioms that replace all that old boilerplate: built-in signatures, postfix dereferencing, the isa operator, and native try/catch in 5.40. You get concrete patterns for Moo classes, named regex captures, Path::Tiny file handling, and safe deep access on nested structures. The examples are copy-pasteable starting points meant to be adapted to your stack. Best used when refactoring legacy code or establishing team conventions, since it draws a clear line between old circumfix syntax and the cleaner modern equivalents. If you're stuck maintaining pre-5.36 code or teaching new devs, this will save arguments about style.
