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

Pod::Parser is a base class for creating POD filters and translators. It handles most of the effort involved with parsing the POD sections from an input stream, leaving subclasses free to be concerned only with performing the actual translation of text.

NOTE: This module is considered legacy. New projects should prefer Pod::Simple instead.

This module provides three utility subroutines that make it easier to develop interactive applications: is_interactive(), interactive(), and busy().

Sub::Install makes it easy to install subroutines into packages without the unsightly mess of C<no strict> or typeglobs lying about where just anyone can see them.

This module provides the class keyword and related others (method, field and ADJUST) in a forward-compatible way.

This package provides an API for dealing where the case where you have several long texts (and/or binary blobs) that you wish to load from the code (e.g: for the "want"/expected values of tests) and you wish to conveniently edit them, track them and maintain them. Using this package, you can put each in a separate file in a directory, create a manifest file listing all valid filenames/key, and load from there.

ExtUtils::PkgConfig is a very simplistic interface to the pkg-config utility, intended for use in the Makefile.PL of perl extensions which bind libraries that pkg-config knows. It is really just boilerplate code that you would have written yourself.

This module provides a flexible calling interface to some frequently-performed string conversion functions, including applying and expanding standard C/Unix-style backslash escapes like and , wrapping and removing double-quotes, and truncating to fit within a desired length.

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

This package compiles yacc-like Look Ahead LR (LALR) grammars to generate Perl object oriented parser modules.

Encode module provides the interface between Perl strings and the rest of the system. Perl strings are sequences of characters.

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

This module exports two functions, nsort and ncmp; they are used in implementing a "natural sorting" algorithm. Under natural sorting, numeric substrings are compared numerically, and other word-characters are compared lexically.

This module offers a minimalist class construction kit. It uses no non-core modules for any recent Perl.

Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules; it used to be part of Perl itself until version 5.22, which dropped it. It is meant to be an alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with MakeMaker. It also does not require a make on your system---most of the Module::Build code is pure-Perl.

Given a list of scalars or reference variables, Data::Dumper writes out their contents in Perl syntax. The references can also be objects. The content of each variable is output in a single Perl statement. It handles self-referential structures correctly.

The Digest::JHash module allows you to use the fast JHash hashing algorithm developed by Bob Jenkins from within Perl programs. The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 32-bit "message digest" of the input in the form of an unsigned long integer.

This module provides a Perl interface to the iconv() codeset conversion function, as defined by the Single UNIX Specification. For more details see the POD documentation embedded in the file Iconv.pm, which will also be installed as Text::Iconv(3) man page.

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

Class::Data::Inheritable is for creating accessor/mutators to class data. That is, if you want to store something about your class as a whole (instead of about a single object). This data is then inherited by your subclasses and can be overridden.

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.

This module tries to provide a coherent API to bring together the various JSON modules currently on CPAN. This module will allow you to code to any JSON API and have it work regardless of which JSON module is actually installed.

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

While Mouse attributes provide a way to name your accessors, readers, writers, clearers and predicates, MouseX::NativeTraits provides commonly used attribute helper methods for more specific types of data.
