This package enables you to do generic message logging throughout programs and projects. Every message will be logged with stacktraces, timestamps and so on. You can use built-in handlers immediately, or after the fact when you inspect the error stack. It is highly configurable and lets you even provide your own handlers for dealing with messages.

PLS is a Perl language server that implements a subset of the Language Server Protocol for the Perl language. Features currently implemented are:

• Go to definition (for packages, subroutines, and variables)

• Listing all symbols in a document

• Hovering to show documentation

• Signature help (showing parameters for a function as you type)

• Formatting

• Range formatting

• Auto-completion

• Syntax checking

• Linting (using perlcritic)

• Sorting imports

To use this language with Emacs, you can configure Eglot like so:

(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure)
(setq eglot-server-programs '((perl-mode . ("pls"))))

Multidimensional disables multidimensional array emulation.

Conf::Libconfig is a Perl interface to the libconfig configuration file library. It support scalar, array, and hash data structures just like its C/C++ counterpart. It reduces the effort required to implement a configuration file parser in your Perl programme and allows sharing configuration files between languages.

Strictures turns on strict and make all warnings fatal when run from within a source-controlled directory.

This module provides an interface to layout and image generation of directed and undirected graphs in a variety of formats (PostScript, PNG, etc.) using the dot, neato, twopi, circo, and fdp programs from the Graphviz project. This package is deprecated in favour of GraphViz2.

Config::Tiny is a Perl class to read and write .ini style configuration files with as little code as possible, reducing load time and memory overhead.

This module is primarily for reading human written files, and anything we write shouldn't need to have documentation/comments. If you need something with more power move up to Config::Simple, Config::General or one of the many other Config::* modules.

PPIX::QuoteLike parses Perl string literals and things that are reasonably like string literals. Its real reason for being is to find interpolated variables for Perl::Critic policies and similar code.

This package provides basic statistics functions like median(), mean(), variance() and stddev().

Xslate is a template engine, tuned for persistent applications, safe as an HTML generator, and with rich features. The core design principle is that template logic does not have access outside the template without permission.

This package contains a selection of subroutines that people have expressed would be nice to have in the perl core, but the usage would not really be high enough to warrant the use of a keyword, and the size so small such that being individual extensions would be wasteful.

IO::Pager can be used to locate an available pager and use it to display output if a TTY is in use.

Meta::Builder is designed to be a generic tool for writing Meta objects. Unlike specialized tools, Meta::Builder makes no assumptions about what metrics you will care about. Meta::Builder also makes it simple for others to extend your meta-object based tools by providing hooks for other packages to add metrics to your meta object.

Sub::Exporter is an incredibly powerful module, but with that power comes great responsibility, as well as some runtime penalties. This module is a "Sub::Exporter" wrapper that will let your users just use Exporter if all they are doing is picking exports, but use "Sub::Exporter" if your users try to use "Sub::Exporter"'s more advanced features, like renaming exports, if they try to use them.

Guard implements so-called guards. A guard is something (usually an object) that "guards" a resource, ensuring that it is cleaned up when expected.

Specifically, this module supports two different types of guards: guard objects, which execute a given code block when destroyed, and scoped guards, which are tied to the scope exit.

This module converts Perl data structures to JSON and vice versa.

Sometimes you need to test what happens when a given module is not installed. This module provides a way of temporarily hiding installed modules from perl's require mechanism. The Module::Mask object adds itself to @INC and blocks require calls to restricted modules.

This module understands the formats used by MySQL for its DATE, DATETIME, TIME, and TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string representing it in the MySQL format.

This module provides a clone() method which makes recursive copies of nested hash, array, scalar and reference types, including tied variables and objects.

This module provides user-defined Unicode properties that deal with width status of East Asian characters, as specified in Unicode® Standard Annex #11.

Dates are complex enough without times and timezones. This module may be used to create simple date objects. It handles validation, interval arithmetic, and day-of-week calculation. It does not deal with hours, minutes, seconds, and time zones.

This module provides a syntax plugin that implements exception-handling semantics in a form familiar to users of other languages, being built on a block labeled with the try keyword, followed by at least one of a catch or finally block.

A CPAN::Meta::Requirements object models a set of version constraints like those specified in the META.yml or META.json files in CPAN distributions, and as defined by CPAN::Meta::Spec. It can be built up by adding more and more constraints, and will reduce them to the simplest representation.

This module allows you to manage a set of deprecations for one or more modules.
