What New Code Boilerplate does

Act as a senior Perl architect. Generate the complete scaffold for a new Perl module (or script) based on the provided requirements.

ARCHITECTURE & STYLE

Enforce strict pragmas: use strict;, use warnings;, and use autodie qw(:all);.
Indent strictly with tabs. All code must be strictly ASCII.
Use Readonly or a %config hash for all constants. No magic numbers/strings.
Implement a robust constructor (new) if object-oriented, returning $self for chaining where appropriate.
