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.

This module provide functions that takes a list of values as their argument and produces a string as its result. The string contains Perl code that, when "eval"ed, produces a deep copy of the original arguments.

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

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.

This module is intended as a drop-in replacement for NEXT, supporting the same interface, but using Class::C3 to do the hard work.

This module provides a general-purpose date and datetime type for perl.

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.

Display Perl variables and objects on screen, properly formatted (to be inspected by a human).

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

The alias module loads the class you specify and exports into your namespace a subroutine that returns the class name. You can explicitly alias the class to another name or, if you prefer, you can do so implicitly.

Text::Unidecode provides a function, unidecode(...) that takes Unicode data and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters (i.e., the universally displayable characters between 0x00 and 0x7F). The representation is almost always an attempt at transliteration-- i.e., conveying, in Roman letters, the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system.

Socket::MsgHdr provides advanced socket messaging operations via sendmsg and recvmsg.

It also allows manipulating ancillary data or so-called control information (cmsghdr). This ancillary data may be used for file descriptor passing, IPv6 operations, and a host of implementation-specific extensions.

This module has 3 functions: one to copy files only, one to copy directories only, and one to do either depending on the argument's type.

App::cpanminus is a script to get, unpack, build and install modules from CPAN and does nothing else. It's dependency free (can bootstrap itself), requires zero configuration, and stands alone. When running, it requires only 10MB of RAM.

This module lets you require other modules where the module name is in a variable, something you can't do with the require built-in.

This package provides a simple Perl library to extract height/width from images.

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

This module exports all of the functions that either List::Util or List::MoreUtils defines, with preference to List::Util.

Array::Utils is a small pure-perl module containing list manipulation routines.

CPAN::Changes helps users programmatically read and write Changes files that conform to a common specification.

Text::NeatTemplate provides a simple, middleweight but fast template engine, for when you need speed rather than complex features, yet need more features than simple variable substitution.

Module::Build::XSUtil is subclass of Module::Build for support building XS modules.

This is a list of a new parameters in the Module::Build::new method:

1. needs_compiler_c99: This option checks C99 compiler availability.

2. needs_compiler_cpp: This option checks C++ compiler availability. Can also pass extra_compiler_flags and extra_linker_flags for C++.

3. generate_ppport_h: Generate ppport.h by Devel::PPPort.

4. generate_xshelper_h: Generate xshelper.h which is a helper header file to include EXTERN.h, perl.h, XSUB.h and ppport.h, and defines some portability stuff which are not supported by ppport.h.

   It is ported from Module::Install::XSUtil.

5. cc_warnings: Toggle compiler warnings. Enabled by default.

6. -g options: Invoke Build.PL with -g to enable debug options.

Pod::Simple is a Perl library for parsing text in the Pod (plain old documentation) markup language that is typically used for writing documentation for Perl and for Perl modules.

This module provides some extra datatypes that are used by common serialisation formats such as JSON or CBOR.
