This is a Moose role which provides an alternate constructor for creating objects using parameters passed in from the command line.

This is pragma to change Perl 5's standard method resolution order from depth-first left-to-right (a.k.a - pre-order) to the more sophisticated C3 method resolution order.

Devel::REPL is a modern Perl interactive shell.

Eksblowfish is a variant of the Blowfish cipher, modified to make the key setup very expensive. This doesn't make it significantly cryptographically stronger but is intended to hinder brute-force attacks. Eksblowfish is a parameterised (family-keyed) cipher. It takes a cost parameter that controls how expensive the key scheduling is. It also takes a family key, known as the "salt". Cost and salt parameters together define a cipher family. Within each family, the key determines the encryption function. This distribution also includes an implementation of bcrypt, the Unix crypt() password hashing algorithm based on Eksblowfish.

YAML::Tiny is a perl class for reading and writing YAML-style files, written with as little code as possible, reducing load time and memory overhead.

This module makes some new features of the Perl 5.14.0 C API available to XS modules running on older versions of Perl. The features are centred around the function cv_set_call_checker, which allows XS code to attach a magical annotation to a Perl subroutine, resulting in resolvable calls to that subroutine being mutated at compile time by arbitrary C code. This module makes cv_set_call_checker and several supporting functions available.

This module allows you to speed up your sleep(), alarm(), and time() calls.

The fundamental task of the autoformat subroutine is to identify and rearrange independent paragraphs in a text. Paragraphs typically consist of a series of lines containing at least one non-whitespace character, followed by one or more lines containing only optional whitespace. This is a more liberal definition than many other formatters use: most require an empty line to terminate a paragraph. Paragraphs may also be denoted by bulleting, numbering, or quoting (see the following sections).

Sub::Quote provides an efficient generation of subroutines via string eval.

This package provides a simple Perl library to extract height/width from images.

This module exports two functions, nsort and ncmp; they are used in implementing a "natural sorting" algorithm. Under natural sorting, numeric substrings are compared numerically, and other word-characters are compared lexically.

This module inserts values into (translated) strings. It provides printf and sprintf alternatives via both an object-oriented and a functional interface.

Number::Format is a library for formatting numbers. Functions are provided for converting numbers to strings in a variety of ways, and to convert strings that contain numbers back into numeric form. The output formats may include thousands separators - characters inserted between each group of three characters counting right to left from the decimal point. The characters used for the decimal point and the thousands separator come from the locale information or can be specified by the user.

The Readonly module is an effective way to create non-modifiable variables. However, it's relatively slow.

The reason it's slow is that is implements the read-only-ness of variables via tied objects. This mechanism is inherently slow. Perl simply has to do a lot of work under the hood to make tied variables work.

This module corrects the speed problem, at least with respect to scalar variables. When Readonly::XS is installed, Readonly uses it to access the internals of scalar variables. Instead of creating a scalar variable object and tying it, Readonly simply flips the SvREADONLY bit in the scalar's FLAGS structure.

The DateTime::Set module provides a date/time sets implementation. It allows, for example, the generation of groups of dates, like "every wednesday", and then find all the dates matching that pattern, within a time range.

This module intends to be a better Text::Wrap module. This module is needed to support multibyte character encodings such as UTF-8, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, GB2312, and Big5. This module also supports characters with irregular widths, such as combining characters (which occupy zero columns on terminal, like diacritical marks in UTF-8) and fullwidth characters (which occupy two columns on terminal, like most of east Asian characters). Also, minimal handling of languages which doesn't use whitespaces between words (like Chinese and Japanese) is supported.

MooX::late does the following:

1. Supports isa => $stringytype

2. Supports does => $rolename

3. Supports lazy_build => 1

4. Exports blessed and confess functions to your namespace.

5. Handles certain attribute traits Currently Hash, Array and Code are supported. This feature requires MooX::HandlesVia.

Data::Dumper::Concise provides a dumper with Less indentation and newlines plus sub deparsing.

This module provides a Perl interface to the iconv() codeset conversion function, as defined by the Single UNIX Specification. For more details see the POD documentation embedded in the file Iconv.pm, which will also be installed as Text::Iconv(3) man page.

Probe::Perl provides methods for obtaining information about the currently running perl interpreter. It originally began life as code in the Module::Build project, but has been externalized here for general use.

Perl is a general-purpose programming language originally developed for text manipulation and now used for a wide range of tasks including system administration, web development, network programming, GUI development, and more.

Data::Uniqid provides three simple routines for generating unique ids. These ids are coded with a Base62 system to make them short and handy (e.g. to use it as part of a URL).

Moose is a complete object system for Perl 5. It provides keywords for attribute declaration, object construction, inheritance, and maybe more. With Moose, you define your class declaratively, without needing to know about blessed hashrefs, accessor methods, and so on. You can concentrate on the logical structure of your classes, focusing on "what" rather than "how". A class definition with Moose reads like a list of very concise English sentences.

Getopt::Long::Descriptive is yet another Getopt library. It's built atop Getopt::Long, and gets a lot of its features, but tries to avoid making you think about its huge array of options. It also provides usage (help) messages, data validation, and a few other useful features.
