Carp::Assert is intended for a purpose like the ANSI C library assert.h.

Text::BibTeX is a Perl library for reading, parsing, and processing BibTeX files. Text::BibTeX gives you access to the data at many different levels: you may work with BibTeX entries as simple field to string mappings, or get at the original form of the data as a list of simple values (strings, macros, or numbers) pasted together.

Parse::RecDescent can incrementally generate top-down recursive-descent text parsers from simple yacc-like grammar specifications.

SDL Perl is a package of Perl modules that provide both functional and object oriented interfaces to the Simple DirectMedia Layer for Perl5. This package takes some liberties with the SDL API, and attempts to adhere to the spirit of both the SDL and Perl.

Hook::LexWrap allows you to install a pre- or post-wrapper (or both) around an existing subroutine. Unlike other modules that provide this capacity (e.g., Hook::PreAndPost and Hook::WrapSub), Hook::LexWrap implements wrappers in such a way that the standard caller function works correctly within the wrapped subroutine.

This package transparently speeds up functions by caching return values, trading space for time.

Devel::REPL is a modern Perl interactive shell.

Throwable is a role for classes that are meant to be thrown as exceptions to standard program flow.

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.

Modern::Perl provides a simple way to enable multiple, by now, standard libraries in a Perl program.

Env::Path presents an object-oriented interface to path variables, defined as that subclass of environment variables which name an ordered list of file system elements separated by a platform-standard separator.

Mail::Sendmail is a pure perl module that provides a simple means to send email from a perl script. The module only requires Perl5 and a network connection.

The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because they act like die() or warn(), but with a message which is more likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case of cluck, confess, and longmess that context is a summary of every call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use carp or croak which report the error as being from where your module was called. There is no guarantee that that is where the error was, but it is a good educated guess.

String eval is often used for dynamic code generation. For instance, Moose uses it heavily, to generate inlined versions of accessors and constructors, which speeds code up at runtime by a significant amount. String eval is not without its issues however - it's difficult to control the scope it's used in (which determines which variables are in scope inside the eval), and it's easy to miss compilation errors, since eval catches them and sticks them in $@ instead. This module attempts to solve these problems. It provides an eval_closure function, which evals a string in a clean environment, other than a fixed list of specified variables. Compilation errors are rethrown automatically.

Class::ErrorHandler provides an error-handling mechanism that is generic enough to be used as the base class for a variety of OO classes. Subclasses inherit its two error-handling methods, error and errstr, to communicate error messages back to the calling program.

The Regexp::Grammars module adds a small number of new regex constructs that can be used within Perl 5.10 patterns to implement complete recursive-descent parsing. It allows you to go beyond matching complex, nested and recursive structures, and allows you to parse and extract hierarchical data from it.

Text::CSV_XS provides facilities for the composition and decomposition of comma-separated values. An instance of the Text::CSV_XS class will combine fields into a CSV string and parse a CSV string into fields. The module accepts either strings or files as input and support the use of user-specified characters for delimiters, separators, and escapes.

Socket::MsgHdr provides advanced socket messaging operations via sendmsg and recvmsg.

It also allows manipulating ancillary data or so-called control information (cmsghdr). This ancillary data may be used for file descriptor passing, IPv6 operations, and a host of implementation-specific extensions.

This module makes the functionality of the perltidy command available to Perl scripts. Any or all of the input parameters may be omitted, in which case the @ARGV array will be used to provide input parameters as described in the perltidy(1) man page.

This module provides a file handle that hides the beginning of a file, by modifying the seek() and tell() calls.

This way of associating structs with Perl space objects is designed to supersede Perl's builtin T_PTROBJ with something that is extensible (structs can be associated with any data type) and opaque (the C pointer is neither visible nor modifiable from Perl space).

Encode module provides the interface between Perl strings and the rest of the system. Perl strings are sequences of characters.

Class::XSAccessor implements fast read, write, and read/write accessors in XS. Additionally, it can provide predicates such as "has_foo()" for testing whether the attribute "foo" is defined in the object. It only works with objects that are implemented as ordinary hashes. Class::XSAccessor::Array implements the same interface for objects that use arrays for their internal representation.

Crypt::PasswdMD5 provides various crypt()-compatible interfaces to the MD5-based crypt() function found in various *nixes. It is based on the implementation found on FreeBSD 2.2.[56]-RELEASE.
