http://search.cpan.org/ is on my shortcut bar, or whatever it's called.
Whenever I wonder whether a module exists for a particular operation I
try there if I think I have good search terms.  Entering "File Copy"
in the box there gives File::Copy as the second hit without even
bothering to change the search domain from "All" to "Modules" (which
I frequently do).

On average, I think I try this step for finding modules before going
to Google and typing "Perl module <search terms>".
