Locale::Maketext::Gettext joins the GNU gettext and Maketext frameworks. It
is a subclass of Locale::Maketext(3) that follows the way GNU gettext
works. It works seamlessly, both in the sense of GNU gettext and Maketext.
As a result, you enjoy both their advantages, and get rid of both their
problems, too.

This module provides a simple object for logging to files under the
Log::Dispatch::* system, and automatically rotating them according to
different constraints. This is basically a Log::Dispatch::File wrapper
with additions. To that end the arguments

name, min_level, filename and mode

behave the same as Log::Dispatch::File. So see its man page (perldoc
Log::Dispatch::File)

This module provides functions for handling media (also known as MIME)
types and encodings. The mapping from file extensions to media types is
defined by the _media.types_ file. If the _~/.media.types_ file exists it
is used instead. For backwards compatibility we will also look for
_~/.mime.types_.

This module attempts to answer, as accurately as it can, one of the
nastiest technical questions there is.

*Am I on the internet?*

The answer is useful in a wide range of decisions. For example...

_Should my test scripts run the online portion of the tests or just skip
them?_

_Do I try to fetch fresh data from the server?_

_If my request to the server breaks, is it because I'm offline, or because
the server is offline?_

And so on, and so forth.

But a host of networking and security issues make this problem very
difficult. There are firewalls, proxies (both well behaved and badly
behaved). We might not have DNS. We might not have a network card at all!

You might have network access, but only to a for-money wireless network
that responds to ever HTTP request with a page asking you to enter your
credit card details for paid access. Which means you don't "REALLY" have
access.

The mere nature of the question makes it practically unsolvable.

But with the answer being so useful, and the only other alternative being
to ask the user "duh... are you online?" (when you might not have a user at
all) it's my gut feeling that it is worthwhile at least making an attempt
to solve the problem, if only in a limited way.

The LWP::Protocol::https module provide support for using https schemed
URLs with LWP. This module is a plug-in to the LWP protocol handling, so
you don't use it directly. Once the module is installed LWP is able to
access sites using HTTP over SSL/TLS.

If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's 'ssl_opts', and
neither 'SSL_ca_file' nor 'SSL_ca_path' is set, then 'SSL_ca_file' is
implied to be the one provided by Mozilla::CA. If the Mozilla::CA module
isn't available SSL requests will fail. Either install this module, set up
an alternative 'SSL_ca_file' or disable hostname verification.

This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was unbundled
in v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly for the
CPAN tool-chain. Applications that need https support can just declare
their dependency on LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer need to know
what underlying modules to install.

Mail::Mbox::MessageParser is a feature-poor but very fast mbox parser.
It uses the best of three strategies for parsing a mailbox: either
using cached folder information, GNU grep, or highly optimized Perl.

This libary can serve as an advanced lexer for (GNU) makefiles. It parses
makefiles as "documents" and the parsing is lossless. The results are data
structures similar to DOM trees. The DOM trees hold every single bit of the
information in the original input files, including white spaces, blank
lines and makefile comments. That means it's possible to reproduce the
original makefiles from the DOM trees. In addition, each node of the DOM
trees is modifiable and so is the whole tree, just like the PPI module used
for Perl source parsing and the HTML::TreeBuilder module used for parsing
HTML source.

The Mcrypt module provides a simple and intuitive Perl abstraction of
the libmcrypt cryptography library. It provides mechanisms for
encoding and decoding Perl scalars.

MIME::Lite is intended as a simple, standalone module for generating
(not parsing!) MIME messages... specifically, it allows you to output a
simple, decent single- or multi-part message with text or binary
attachments. It does not require that you have the Mail:: or MIME::
modules installed.

Modules for parsing (and creating!) MIME entities

MIME types are used in MIME entities, for instance as part of e-mail
and HTTP traffic. Sometimes real knowledge about a mime-type is need.
This module will supply it.

MLDBM, the Perl module that can be used to store multidimensional hash
structures in tied hashes (including DBM files).

This module wraps around the MLDBM interface, by handling concurrent
access to MLDBM databases with file locking, and flushes i/o explicity
per lock/unlock. The new [Read]Lock()/UnLock() API can be used to
serialize requests logically and improve performance for bundled reads
& writes.

`Module::Build' is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. 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 and written in a very cross-platform way. In fact, you don`t even need a shell, so even platforms like MacOS (traditional) can use it fairly easily. Its only prerequisites are modules that are included with perl 5.6.0, and it works fine on perl 5.005 if you can install a few additional modules.

Module::Depends extracts module dependencies from an unpacked distribution
tree.

Module::Depends only evaluates the META.yml shipped with a distribution.
This won't be effective until all distributions ship META.yml files, so we
suggest you take your life in your hands and look at
Module::Depends::Intrusive.

This module deals with the examination of the namespace of Perl modules.
The contents of the module namespace is split across several physical
directory trees, but this module hides that detail, providing instead
a view of the abstract namespace.

Module::Signature adds cryptographic authentications to CPAN distributions,
via the special SIGNATURE file.
