This package contains SGMLS.pm, a perl5 class library for parsing the output from an SGML parser such as OpenSP. It also includes the sgmlspl command, an Perl script showcasing how the library can be used.

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.

Path::Class is a module for manipulation of file and directory specifications in a cross-platform manner.

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

MIME::Charset provides information about character sets used for MIME messages on Internet.

This module provides a small, fast utility for working with file paths.

Loading MooX::StrictConstructor makes your constructors "strict". If your constructor is called with an attribute init argument that your class does not declare, then it dies.

Module::Build::XSUtil is subclass of Module::Build for support building XS modules.

This is a list of a new parameters in the Module::Build::new method:

1. needs_compiler_c99: This option checks C99 compiler availability.

2. needs_compiler_cpp: This option checks C++ compiler availability. Can also pass extra_compiler_flags and extra_linker_flags for C++.

3. generate_ppport_h: Generate ppport.h by Devel::PPPort.

4. generate_xshelper_h: Generate xshelper.h which is a helper header file to include EXTERN.h, perl.h, XSUB.h and ppport.h, and defines some portability stuff which are not supported by ppport.h.

   It is ported from Module::Install::XSUtil.

5. cc_warnings: Toggle compiler warnings. Enabled by default.

6. -g options: Invoke Build.PL with -g to enable debug options.

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.

Crypt::RandPasswd provides three functions that can be used to generate random passwords, constructed from words, letters, or characters. This code is a Perl implementation of the Automated Password Generator standard, like the program described in "A Random Word Generator For Pronounceable Passwords". This code is a re-engineering of the program contained in Appendix A of FIPS Publication 181, "Standard for Automated Password Generator".

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

The mix_class function provided by this module dynamically generates anonymous classes with specified inheritance. This is useful where an incomplete class requires use of a mixin in order to become instantiable.

This module abstracts out the process of choosing one of several underlying implementations for a module. This can be used to provide XS and pure Perl implementations of a module, or it could be used to load an implementation for a given OS or any other case of needing to provide multiple implementations.

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

A String::Util module of small, handy functions for processing strings in various ways.

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.

File::Find::Object::Rule is an alternative Perl interface to File::Find::Object.

This package provides a selection of regular expression subroutines including is_regexp, regexp_seen_evals, regexp_is_foreign, regexp_is_anchored, serialize_regexp, and deserialize_regexp.

Lexical::Persistence introduces persistent lexical variable values for arbitrary calls.

Moo is an extremely light-weight Object Orientation system. It allows one to concisely define objects and roles with a convenient syntax that avoids the details of Perl's object system. Moo contains a subset of Moose and is optimised for rapid startup.

File::pushd does a temporary chdir that is easily and automatically reverted, similar to pushd in some Unix command shells. It works by creating an object that caches the original working directory. When the object is destroyed, the destructor calls chdir to revert to the original working directory. By storing the object in a lexical variable with a limited scope, this happens automatically at the end of the scope.

The Lingua::EN::Sentence module contains the function get_sentences, which splits text into its constituent sentences, based on a regular expression and a list of abbreviations (built in and given).

This is a backend for Package::Stash, which provides the functionality in a way that's less buggy and much faster. It will be used by default if it's installed, and should be preferred in all environments with a compiler.
