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.

Exporter::Tiny supports many of Sub::Exporter's external-facing features including renaming imported functions with the `-as`, `-prefix` and `-suffix` options; explicit destinations with the `into` option; and alternative installers with the `installer` option. But it's written in only about 40% as many lines of code and with zero non-core dependencies.

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.

Async::Interrupt implements a single feature only of interest to advanced perl modules, namely asynchronous interruptions (think "UNIX signals", which are very similar).

Sometimes, modules wish to run code asynchronously (in another thread, or from a signal handler), and then signal the perl interpreter on certain events. One common way is to write some data to a pipe and use an event handling toolkit to watch for I/O events. Another way is to send a signal. Those methods are slow, and in the case of a pipe, also not asynchronous - it won't interrupt a running perl interpreter.

This module implements asynchronous notifications that enable you to signal running perl code from another thread, asynchronously, and sometimes even without using a single syscall.

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.

This module converts Perl data structures to MessagePack and vice versa. MessagePack is a binary-based efficient object serialization format. It enables to exchange structured objects between many languages like JSON. But unlike JSON, it is very fast and small.

Pod::Simple is a Perl library for parsing text in the Pod (plain old documentation) markup language that is typically used for writing documentation for Perl and for Perl modules.

This package provides various utility functions. When used without argument, this module provides four universally accessible attributes of general interest as follows:

• Abstract

• Alias

• Memoize

• Method

• SigHandler

This module verifies if requirements described in a CPAN::Meta object are present.

This module provides configure time utilities for using C headers, libraries, or OS features.

This package provides some compilation helpers so you can link Fortran libraries into C libraries.

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.

This module provides conflicts checking for Module::Runtime, which had a recent release that broke some versions of Moose. It is called from Moose::Conflicts and moose-outdated.

Filesys::Notify::Simple is a simple but unified interface to get notifications of changes to a given file system path. It uses inotify2 on Linux, fsevents on OS X, kqueue on FreeBSD, and FindFirstChangeNotification on Windows if they're installed, and falls back to a full directory scan if none of these are available.

Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in English. The goal is for names with the same pronunciation to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling.

This module implements the original soundex algorithm developed by Robert Russell and Margaret Odell, patented in 1918 and 1922, as well as a variation called "American Soundex" used for US census data, and current maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

Some Perl modules need to ship C libraries together with their Perl code. Although there are mechanisms to compile and link (or glue) C code in your Perl programs, there isn't a clear method to compile standard, self-contained C libraries. This module main goal is to help in that task.

This package lets you declare types using short names, but behind the scenes it namespaces all your type declarations, effectively prevent name clashes between packages.

When subclassing a class, you may occasionally want to dispatch control to the superclass---at least conditionally and temporarily. This module provides nicer equivalents to the native Perl syntax for calling superclasses, along with a universal super method to determine a class' own superclass, and better support for run-time mix-ins and roles.

This is yet another implementation of Term::Size. Now in pure Perl, with the exception of a C probe run at build time.

A Sub::Override module that makes it easy to override subroutines. Particularly useful for mocking in tests.

Data::Dump::Streamer provides ways to accurately serialize a data structure as Perl code.

Devel::LexAlias provides the ability to alias a lexical variable in a subroutines scope to one of your choosing.

This module can retrieve information from the CDDB.

This module generalises the mechanism of the wantarray function, allowing a function to determine in some detail how its return value is going to be immediately used.
