This module is for reading record-oriented data in a delimited text file. The most common example have records separated by newlines and fields separated by commas or tabs, but this module aims to provide a consistent interface for handling sequential records in a file however they may be delimited.

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.

At some point or another, most programmers find they need to compare floating-point numbers for equality. The typical idiom is to test if the absolute value of the difference of the numbers is within a desired tolerance, usually called epsilon. This module provides such a function for use with Test::More.

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.

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 class is the base class for all time zone objects. A time zone is represented internally as a set of observances, each of which describes the offset from GMT for a given time period. Note that without the DateTime module, this module does not do much. It's primary interface is through a DateTime object, and most users will not need to directly use DateTime::TimeZone methods.

ISAAC (Indirection, Shift, Accumulate, Add, and Count) is a fast pseudo-random number generator. It is suitable for applications where a significant amount of random data needs to be produced quickly, such as solving using the Monte Carlo method or for games. The results are uniformly distributed, unbiased, and unpredictable unless you know the seed.

This package provides a Perl interface to the ISAAC pseudo random number generator.

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.

When used in a test script Test::Distribution goes through all the modules in your distribution, checks their POD, checks that they compile successfully and checks that they all define a $VERSION. In addition, this module performs a number of tests on the distribution itself. It checks that the distributed files match the SIGNATURE file, if that file exists. It checks that the distribution is not missing any core description files. It also checks that the complete set of pre-requisite packages are listed in the Makefile.PL file.

Eksblowfish is a variant of the Blowfish cipher, modified to make the key setup very expensive. This doesn't make it significantly cryptographically stronger but is intended to hinder brute-force attacks. Eksblowfish is a parameterised (family-keyed) cipher. It takes a cost parameter that controls how expensive the key scheduling is. It also takes a family key, known as the "salt". Cost and salt parameters together define a cipher family. Within each family, the key determines the encryption function. This distribution also includes an implementation of bcrypt, the Unix crypt() password hashing algorithm based on Eksblowfish.

Authen-Passphrase is the base class for a system of objects that encapsulate passphrases. An object of this type is a passphrase recogniser; its job is to recognise whether an offered passphrase is the right one. For security such passphrase recognisers usually do not themselves know the passphrase they are looking for; they can merely recognise it when they see it. There are many schemes in use to achieve this effect and the intent of this class is to provide a consistent interface to them all. In addition to the base class, this module also contains implementations of several specific passphrase schemes.

PerlIO::utf8_strict provides a fast and correct UTF-8 PerlIO layer. Unlike Perl's default :utf8 layer it checks the input for correctness.

This module exports methods useful for factory classes.

Test::TrailingSpace tests for trailing spaces in Perl source files.

This package provides the Test::UseAllModules Perl module.

Very fast and simple way to parse the Linux desktop files.

This module provides syntactical support for try/catch control flows.

Test::File::Contents provides functions for testing the contents of files.

This module allows you to execute code when perl finished compiling the surrounding scope.

The LWP::Protocol::https module provides support for using https schemed URLs with LWP.

The Test::WriteVariants module provides for the dynamic generation of tests in nested combinations of contexts.

This module Compress::Raw::Bzip2 provides a Perl interface to the bzip2 compression library.

Data::Dump::Streamer provides ways to accurately serialize a data structure as Perl code.

Catalyst::View::JSON is a Catalyst View handler that returns stash data in JSON format.
