This package provides asynchronous file and directory I/O for Perl.

This module allows you to specify conflicting versions of modules separately and deal with them after the module is done installing.

This module exports two functions, nsort and ncmp; they are used in implementing a "natural sorting" algorithm. Under natural sorting, numeric substrings are compared numerically, and other word-characters are compared lexically.

This package provides real threads for Perl.

List::SomeUtils provides some trivial but commonly needed functionality on lists which is not going to go into List::Util.

All of the below functions are implementable in only a couple of lines of Perl code. Using the functions from this module however should give slightly better performance as everything is implemented in C. The pure-Perl implementation of these functions only serves as a fallback in case the C portions of this module couldn't be compiled on this machine.

This module is for reading record-oriented data in a delimited text file. The most common example have records separated by newlines and fields separated by commas or tabs, but this module aims to provide a consistent interface for handling sequential records in a file however they may be delimited.

ExtUtils::Config is an abstraction around the %Config hash. By itself it is not a particularly interesting module by any measure, however it ties together a family of modern toolchain modules.

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

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

Getopt::Long::Descriptive is yet another Getopt library. It's built atop Getopt::Long, and gets a lot of its features, but tries to avoid making you think about its huge array of options. It also provides usage (help) messages, data validation, and a few other useful features.

Class::Inspector allows you to get information about a loaded class.

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.

This module provides a list of known mime-types, combined from various sources. For instance, it contains all IANA types and the knowledge of Apache.

This is a Moose role which provides an alternate constructor for creating objects using parameters passed in from the command line.

This Digest::Perl::MD5 has the same interface as the much faster Digest::MD5, but it's a pure Perl implementation of MD5. Because of this it is slow but it works without C code.

YAML::XS is a Perl XS binding to libyaml which offers Perl the best YAML support to date.

The DateTime::Set module provides a date/time sets implementation. It allows, for example, the generation of groups of dates, like "every wednesday", and then find all the dates matching that pattern, within a time range.

Alien::SDL can be used to detect and get configuration settings from an installed SDL and related libraries. Based on your platform it offers the possibility to download and install prebuilt binaries or to build SDL & co.: from source codes.

This module is an implementation of the BGP-4 inter-domain routing protocol. It encapsulates all of the functionality needed to establish and maintain a BGP peering session and exchange routing update information with the peer. It aims to provide a simple API to the BGP protocol for the purposes of automation, logging, monitoring, testing, and similar tasks using the power and flexibility of perl. The module does not implement the functionality of a RIB (Routing Information Base) nor does it modify the kernel routing table of the host system. However, such operations could be implemented using the API provided by the module.

This module implements an interface to the GNU Readline library. It gives you input line editing facilities, input history management facilities, completion facilities, etc. Term::ReadLine::Gnu is upwards compatible with Term::ReadLine.

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.

Exporter::Declare is a meta-driven exporting tool. It tries to adopt all the good features of other exporting tools, while replacing bad interfaces. Exporter::Declare also provides hooks that allow you to add options and arguments for import. Exporter::Declare's meta-driven system allows for top-notch introspection.

Data::Float is about the native floating point numerical data type. A floating point number is one of the types of datum that can appear in the numeric part of a Perl scalar. This module supplies constants describing the native floating point type, classification functions and functions to manipulate floating point values at a low level.

Bit::Vector is an efficient C library which allows you to handle bit vectors, sets (of integers), "big integer arithmetic" and boolean matrices, all of arbitrary sizes. The package also includes an object-oriented Perl module for accessing the C library from Perl, and optionally features overloaded operators for maximum ease of use. The C library can nevertheless be used stand-alone, without Perl.
