Look at the list of modules I include in my perl distributions for HP-UX at http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/#Perl and you might get an idea of what I think are useful modules that my work more effective. Not quite like yours is it?
I think a core difference between your list and Chromatic's is that yours would be part of the standard library in a lot of languages, whereas Chromatic seems to be aiming more for things that would be part of the language. Not to disparage your list, but I think his is oriented more towards higher level abstractions, whereas yours is more task oriented. Because of that, I don't really see the dichotomy as strongly as you. I think you can argue over which inside out object module to use, but that's a different sort of argument than whether or not XPath or SOAP support should be included in core, or some PerlPlus bundle. At least it seems that way to me.
