This library allows communication with a smart card using PC/SC from a Perl script.

This module understands the formats used by MySQL for its DATE, DATETIME, TIME, and TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string representing it in the MySQL format.

This module tries to find middle ground between one at a time and all at once processing of data sets. The purpose of this module is to avoid the overhead of implementing an iterative api when this isn't necessary, without breaking forward compatibility in case that becomes necessary later on.

This module is a simple interface to extensible logging. It exists to abstract your logging interface so that logging is as painless as possible, while still allowing you to switch from one logger to another.

This Perl library provides a function which tells whether a specific time falls within a specified time period. Its syntax for specifying time periods allows you to test for conditions like "Monday to Friday, 9am till 5pm" and "on the second Tuesday of the month" and "between 4pm and 4:15pm" and "in the first half of each minute" and "in January of 1998".

This module exports methods useful for factory classes.

This package provides functions to format text in various ways like centering, paragraphing, and converting tabs to spaces and spaces to tabs.

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.

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

This package provides a selection of regular expression subroutines including is_regexp, regexp_seen_evals, regexp_is_foreign, regexp_is_anchored, serialize_regexp, and deserialize_regexp.

This package contains a selection of subroutines that people have expressed would be nice to have in the perl core, but the usage would not really be high enough to warrant the use of a keyword, and the size so small such that being individual extensions would be wasteful.

Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in English. The goal is for names with the same pronunciation to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling.

This module implements the original soundex algorithm developed by Robert Russell and Margaret Odell, patented in 1918 and 1922, as well as a variation called "American Soundex" used for US census data, and current maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called GetOptions(). It parses the command line from ARGV, recognizing and removing specified options and their possible values.

This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command line options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means that options have long names instead of single letters, and are introduced with a double dash "--". Support for bundling of command line options, as was the case with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided but not enabled by default.

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

Filesys::Notify::Simple is a simple but unified interface to get notifications of changes to a given file system path. It uses inotify2 on Linux, fsevents on OS X, kqueue on FreeBSD, and FindFirstChangeNotification on Windows if they're installed, and falls back to a full directory scan if none of these are available.

Spiffy is a framework and methodology for doing object oriented (OO) programming in Perl. Spiffy combines the best parts of Exporter.pm, base.pm, mixin.pm and SUPER.pm into one magic foundation class. It attempts to fix all the nits and warts of traditional Perl OO, in a clean, straightforward and (perhaps someday) standard way. Spiffy borrows ideas from other OO languages like Python, Ruby, Java and Perl 6.

Devel::Cycle This is a tool for finding circular references in objects and other types of references. Because of Perl's reference-count based memory management, circular references will cause memory leaks.

This package provides tools for sorting and comparing Unicode data.

This is yet another implementation of Term::Size. Now in pure Perl, with the exception of a C probe run at build time.

Devel::CheckCompiler is a tiny module to check whether a compiler is available. It can test for a C99 compiler, or you can tell it to compile a C source file with optional linker flags.

Lexical::Persistence introduces persistent lexical variable values for arbitrary calls.

The package provides a number of useful typemaps as submodules of ExtUtils::Typemaps.

PPIx::Utils is a collection of utility functions for working with PPI documents. The functions are organized into submodules, and may be imported from the appropriate submodules or via this module.

Collection of classes that wrap fundamental data types that exist in Perl. These classes and methods as they exist today are an attempt to mirror functionality provided by Moose's Native Traits. One important thing to note is all classes currently do no validation on constructor input.
