Template::Timer provides inline profiling of the template processing in Perl code.

This module creates a customized, highly efficient parameter checking subroutine. It can handle named or positional parameters, and can return the parameters as key/value pairs or a list of values. In addition to type checks, it also supports parameter defaults, optional parameters, and extra "slurpy" parameters.

Sub::Identify allows you to retrieve the real name of code references.

File::ShareDir::Install allows you to install read-only data files from a distribution. It is a companion module to File::ShareDir, which allows you to locate these files after installation.

Hash::Merge merges two arbitrarily deep hashes into a single hash. That is, at any level, it will add non-conflicting key-value pairs from one hash to the other, and follows a set of specific rules when there are key value conflicts. The hash is followed recursively, so that deeply nested hashes that are at the same level will be merged when the parent hashes are merged.

This Perl module allows you to split data into records by not only specifying what you wish to split the data on, but also by specifying an "unless" regular expression. If the text in question matches the "unless" regex, it will not be split there. This allows us to do things like split on newlines unless newlines are embedded in quotes.

Params::Util provides a basic set of importable functions that makes checking parameters easier.

This module allows you to read and write an OLE-Structured file. OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) is a technology to store hierarchical information such as links to other documents within a single file.

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.

Number::Range is an object-oriented interface to test if a number exists in a given range, and to be able to manipulate the range.

Path::Iterator::Rule iterates over files and directories to identify ones matching a user-defined set of rules. The API is based heavily on File::Find::Rule, but with more explicit distinction between matching rules and options that influence how directories are searched. A Path::Iterator::Rule object is a collection of rules (match criteria) with methods to add additional criteria. Options that control directory traversal are given as arguments to the method that generates an iterator.

A summary of features for comparison to other file finding modules:

• provides many helper methods for specifying rules

• offers (lazy) iterator and flattened list interfaces

• custom rules implemented with callbacks

• breadth-first (default) or pre- or post-order depth-first searching

• follows symlinks (by default, but can be disabled)

• directories visited only once (no infinite loop; can be disabled)

• doesn't chdir during operation

• provides an API for extensions

As a convenience, the PIR module is an empty subclass of this one that is less arduous to type for one-liners.

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.

This module provides a convenient way to perform cleanup or other forms of resource management at the end of a scope. It is particularly useful when dealing with exceptions: the Scope::Guard constructor takes a reference to a subroutine that is guaranteed to be called even if the thread of execution is aborted prematurely. This effectively allows lexically-scoped "promises" to be made that are automatically honoured by perl's garbage collector.

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.

The Inline::C module allows you to write Perl subroutines in C. Since version 0.30 the Inline module supports multiple programming languages and each language has its own support module. This document describes how to use Inline with the C programming language. It also goes a bit into Perl C internals.

Ref::Util introduces several functions to help identify references in a smarter (and usually faster) way. The difference with conventional approach:

• No comparison against a string constant

• Supports blessed variables

• Supports tied variables and magic

• Ignores overloading

• Ignores subtle types

• Usually faster

Module::Refresh provides ways to refresh %INC files when updated on disk.

This package provides an ASCII mapping for the eucJP encoding.

DateTime::Format::Flexible attempts to take any string you give it and parse it into a DateTime object.

This module tries to make install path resolution as easy as possible.

MIME::Base64 module provides functions to encode and decode strings into and from the base64 encoding specified in RFC 2045 - MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). The base64 encoding is designed to represent arbitrary sequences of octets in a form that need not be humanly readable. A 65-character subset ([A-Za-z0-9+/=]) of US-ASCII is used, enabling 6 bits to be represented per printable character.

This module provides the ability to supply some text to an external text editor, have it edited by the user, and retrieve the results.

String::Format lets you define arbitrary printf-like format sequences to be expanded. This module would be most useful in configuration files and reporting tools, where the results of a query need to be formatted in a particular way. It was inspired by mutt's .

Lexical::SealRequireHints prevents leakage of lexical hints
