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

CHI provides a unified caching API, designed to assist a developer in persisting data for a specified period of time.

The CHI interface is implemented by driver classes that support fetching, storing and clearing of data. Driver classes exist or will exist for the gamut of storage backends available to Perl, such as memory, plain files, memory mapped files, memcached, and DBI.

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.

This module tries to make it easy to build Perl extensions that use functions and typemaps provided by other perl extensions. This means that a perl extension is treated like a shared library that provides also a C and an XS interface besides the perl one.

Text::ParseWords module is used to parse text into an array of tokens or array of arrays.

YAML::Syck provides a Perl interface to the libsyck data serialization library. It exports the Dump and Load functions for converting Perl data structures to YAML strings, and the other way around.

Log::Any provides a standard log production API for modules. Log::Any::Adapter allows applications to choose the mechanism for log consumption, whether screen, file or another logging mechanism like Log::Dispatch or Log::Log4perl.

A CPAN module uses Log::Any to get a log producer object. An application, in turn, may choose one or more logging mechanisms via Log::Any::Adapter, or none at all.

Log::Any has a very tiny footprint and no dependencies beyond Perl itself, which makes it appropriate for even small CPAN modules to use. It defaults to null logging activity, so a module can safely log without worrying about whether the application has chosen (or will ever choose) a logging mechanism.

Devel::Symdump provides access to the perl symbol table.

A pure Perl implementation of the RC4 algorithm.

This module simply interpolates option file hints in @ARGV by the contents of the pointed files. This enables option reading from files instead of or additional to the usual reading from the command line.

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, ReadKey, provides ioctl control for terminals so the input modes can be changed (thus allowing reads of a single character at a time), and also provides non-blocking reads of stdin, as well as several other terminal related features, including retrieval/modification of the screen size, and retrieval/modification of the control characters.

This module compares arbitrary data structures to see if they are copies of each other.

This package provides Digest::SHA3, an implementation of the NIST SHA-3 message digest algorithm for use by Perl programs.

Crypt::MySQL emulates the MySQL PASSWORD() function. The module does not depend on an interface to the MySQL database server. This enables the comparison of encrypted passwords without the need for a real MySQL environment.

This package is a plugin to tidyall allowing integration with the Test::Count module, to keep track of the number of tests in a test file.

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.

This module attempts to emulate the behavior of Class::Accessor::Fast as accurately as possible using the Moose attribute system. The public API of Class::Accessor::Fast is wholly supported, but the private methods are not.

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

This module replaces the standard localtime and gmtime functions with implementations that return objects. It does so in a backwards-compatible manner, so that using these functions as documented will still work as expected.

Meta::Builder is designed to be a generic tool for writing Meta objects. Unlike specialized tools, Meta::Builder makes no assumptions about what metrics you will care about. Meta::Builder also makes it simple for others to extend your meta-object based tools by providing hooks for other packages to add metrics to your meta object.

This module implements a subset of the YAML specification for use in reading and writing CPAN metadata files like META.yml and MYMETA.yml.

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

Config::INI::Reader::Ordered is a Perl library for parsing .ini files that returns the sections in order.
