This module is about the native integer numerical data type. A native integer 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 integer type. Both signed and unsigned representations are handled.

IPC::Cmd allows for the searching and execution of any binary on your system. It adheres to verbosity settings and is able to run interactively. It also has an option to capture output/error buffers.

This module provides three utility subroutines that make it easier to develop interactive applications: is_interactive(), interactive(), and busy().

Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules; it used to be part of Perl itself until version 5.22, which dropped it. It is meant to be an alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with MakeMaker. It also does not require a make on your system---most of the Module::Build code is pure-Perl.

Class::Method::Modifiers provides three modifiers: before, around, and after. before and after are run just before and after the method they modify, but can not really affect that original method. around is run in place of the original method, with a hook to easily call that original method.

MailTools contains the following modules:

Mail::Address

Parse email address from a header line.

Mail::Cap

Interpret mailcap files: mappings of file-types to applications as used by many command-line email programs.

Mail::Field

Simplifies access to (some) email header fields. Used by Mail::Header.

Mail::Filter

Process Mail::Internet messages.

Mail::Header

Collection of Mail::Field objects, representing the header of a Mail::Internet object.

Mail::Internet

Represents a single email message, with header and body.

Mail::Mailer

Send Mail::Internet emails via direct smtp or local MTA's.

Mail::Send

Build a Mail::Internet object, and then send it out using Mail::Mailer.

Mail::Util

"Smart functions" you should not depend on.

Strictures turns on strict and make all warnings fatal when run from within a source-controlled directory.

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

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.

The YAML.pm module implements a YAML Loader and Dumper based on the YAML 1.0 specification.

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 understands the ICal date/time and duration formats, as defined in RFC 2445. It can be used to parse these formats in order to create the appropriate objects.

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.

Config::AutoConf is intended to provide the same opportunities to Perl developers as GNU Autoconf does for Shell developers.

This module disables bareword filehandles.

This module provides a Perl interface to the iconv() codeset conversion function, as defined by the Single UNIX Specification. For more details see the POD documentation embedded in the file Iconv.pm, which will also be installed as Text::Iconv(3) man page.

This class lets you build groups of accessors that will call different getters and setters.

Locale::gettext provides an object oriented interface to the internationalization functions provided by the C library.

The first priority of Set::Scalar is to be a convenient interface to sets (as in: unordered collections of Perl scalars). While not designed to be slow or big, neither has it been designed to be fast or compact.

Sys::Syscall allows one to use epoll and sendfile system calls from Perl. Support is mostly Linux-only for now, but other syscalls/OSes are planned for the future.

This module solves the problem of having to continually write accessor methods for your objects that perform standard tasks.

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

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.

Like Tcl's uplevel() function, but not quite so dangerous. The idea is just to fool caller(). All the really naughty bits of Tcl's uplevel() are avoided.
