This is a minimalist Perl module for building simple classes with read-only accessors.

This module allows you to rewrite strings based on a set of known prefixes.

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

This module makes some new features of the Perl 5.14.0 C API available to XS modules running on older versions of Perl. The features are centred around the function cv_set_call_checker, which allows XS code to attach a magical annotation to a Perl subroutine, resulting in resolvable calls to that subroutine being mutated at compile time by arbitrary C code. This module makes cv_set_call_checker and several supporting functions available.

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.

perlcritic is a Perl source code analyzer. It is the executable front-end to the Perl::Critic engine, which attempts to identify awkward, hard to read, error-prone, or unconventional constructs in your code. Most of the rules are based on Damian Conway's book "Perl Best Practices". However, perlcritic is not limited to enforcing PBP, and it will even support rules that contradict Conway. All rules can easily be configured or disabled to your liking.

This module provides bare bones try/catch/finally statements that are designed to minimize common mistakes with eval blocks, and nothing else.

Data::Uniqid provides three simple routines for generating unique ids. These ids are coded with a Base62 system to make them short and handy (e.g. to use it as part of a URL).

Data::SExpression parses Lisp S-Expressions into Perl data structures.

This module brings the speed advantages of Set::IntSpan (written by Steven McDougall) to arrays. Uses include manipulating grades, routing tables, or any other situation where you have mutually exclusive ranges of integers that map to given values.

A shared memory cache through an mmap'ed file. It's core is written in C for performance. It uses fcntl locking to ensure multiple processes can safely access the cache at the same time. It uses a basic LRU algorithm to keep the most used entries in the cache.

Config::INI is a module that facilates the reading and writing of .ini-style configuration files.

This subclass of Module::Build adds some tools and processes to make it easier to use for wrapping C++ using XS++ (ExtUtils::XSpp).

This module is a data dumper optimized for logging of arbitrary parameters.

Calling Perl's in-built system function is easy, determining if it was successful is hard. Let's face it, $? isn't the nicest variable in the world to play with, and even if you do check it, producing a well-formatted error string takes a lot of work.

IPC::System::Simple takes the hard work out of calling external commands.

Guard implements so-called guards. A guard is something (usually an object) that "guards" a resource, ensuring that it is cleaned up when expected.

Specifically, this module supports two different types of guards: guard objects, which execute a given code block when destroyed, and scoped guards, which are tied to the scope exit.

Crypt::DES is an XS-based implementation of the DES cryptography algorithm. The module implements the Crypt::CBC interface which has blocksize, keysize, encrypt and decrypt functions.

Sub::Quote provides an efficient generation of subroutines via string eval.

MIME::Charset provides information about character sets used for MIME messages on Internet.

This module allows errors from a clan (or family) of modules to appear to originate from the caller of the clan. This is necessary in cases where the clan modules are not classes derived from each other, and thus the Carp.pm module doesn't help.

This package provides basic statistics functions like median(), mean(), variance() and stddev().

This module may be used to convert from under_score text to CamelCase and back again.

The fundamental task of the autoformat subroutine is to identify and rearrange independent paragraphs in a text. Paragraphs typically consist of a series of lines containing at least one non-whitespace character, followed by one or more lines containing only optional whitespace. This is a more liberal definition than many other formatters use: most require an empty line to terminate a paragraph. Paragraphs may also be denoted by bulleting, numbering, or quoting (see the following sections).

This is a module for computing the difference between two files, two strings, or any other two lists of things. It uses an intelligent algorithm similar to (or identical to) the one used by the Unix "diff" program. It is guaranteed to find the *smallest possible* set of differences.
