Perl module for using special zip files (called Perl ARchives) as libraries from which Perl modules can be loaded.

Date::Calc::XS is an XS wrapper and C library plug-in for Date::Calc.

This module provides routines for parsing date string into time values and formatting dates into ASCII strings.

This package provides a simplified frontend to Log::Message, offering most common use for logging, and easy access to the stack (in both raw and pretty-printable form).

This module can retrieve information from the CDDB.

MIME-tools is a collection of Perl5 MIME:: modules for parsing, decoding, and generating single- or multipart (even nested multipart) MIME messages.

Test::Run is an improved test harness, originally based on Test::Harness version 2.xx by Michael G. Schwern, Andy Lester and others.

The top-level "Test::Run" by itself does not do much. You should refer to Task::Test::Run::AllPlugins for more detailed instructions.

The Specio distribution provides classes for representing type constraints and coercion, along with syntax sugar for declaring them. Note that this is not a proper type system for Perl. Nothing in this distribution will magically make the Perl interpreter start checking a value's type on assignment to a variable. In fact, there's no built-in way to apply a type to a variable at all. Instead, you can explicitly check a value against a type, and optionally coerce values to that type.

The functions exported by this module allow you to open URLs in the user's browser. A set of known commands per OS-name is tested for presence, and the first one found is executed. With an optional parameter, all known commands are checked.

MooX::Types::MooseLike provides a possibility to build your own set of Moose-like types. These custom types can then be used to describe fields in Moo-based classes.

This Perl module implements Perl hashes that preserve the order in which the hash elements were added. The order is not affected when values corresponding to existing keys in the IxHash are changed. The elements can also be set to any arbitrary supplied order. The familiar perl array operations can also be performed on the IxHash.

Indirect warns about using the indirect method call syntax.

Many Perl distributions use a Build.PL file instead of a Makefile.PL file to drive distribution configuration, build, test and installation. Traditionally, Build.PL uses Module::Build as the underlying build system. This module provides a simple, lightweight, drop-in replacement. Whereas Module::Build has over 6,700 lines of code; this module has less than 120, yet supports the features needed by most distributions.

This module provides various portable helper functions for module building modules.

This module is a data dumper optimized for logging of arbitrary parameters.

This module implements an expiry policy for Memoize that follows LRU semantics, that is, the last n results, where n is specified as the argument to the CACHESIZE parameter, will be cached.

This package is a Test::Run plugin that colors the summary of the test output.

This module provides functions for fast reading and writing of files.

The "mro" namespace provides several utilities for dealing with method resolution order and method caching in general in Perl 5.9.5 and higher. This module provides those interfaces for earlier versions of Perl (back to 5.6.0).

This module lets you attempt to measure, from your operating system's perspective, how much memory a process is using at any given time.

This module provides basic Boolean support, by defining two special objects: true and false.

This module provides syntactical support for try/catch control flows.

Data::Section::Simple is a simple module to extract data from __DATA__ section of the file.

Routines to manipulate defhash, a convention to define things more precisely and uniformly using a hash, in Perl.
