CGI::Simple provides a relatively lightweight drop in replacement for
CGI.pm. It shares an identical OO interface to CGI.pm for parameter
parsing, file upload, cookie handling and header generation. This module is
entirely object oriented, however a complete functional interface is
available by using the CGI::Simple::Standard module.
Essentially everything in CGI.pm that relates to the CGI (not HTML) side of
things is available. There are even a few new methods and additions to old
ones! If you are interested in what has gone on under the hood see the
Compatibility with CGI.pm section at the end.
In practical testing this module loads and runs about twice as fast as
CGI.pm depending on the precise task.
Reading and writing configuration files is one of the most frequent tasks of
any software design. Config::Simple is the library that helps you with it.
Config::Simple is a class representing configuration file object. It supports
several configuration file syntax and tries to identify the file syntax
automatically. Library supports parsing, updating and creating configuration
files.

BinHex is a format used by Macintosh for transporting Mac files safely through
electronic mail, as short-lined, 7-bit, semi-compressed data streams. Ths
module provides a means of converting those data streams back into into binary

GD::Barcode is a subclass of GD and allows you to create barcode image with GD.
This module based on "Generate Barcode Ver 1.02 By Shisei Hanai 97/08/22".
From 1.14, you can use this module even if no GD (except plot method).

GnuPG::Interface and its associated modules are designed to provide an object-
oriented method for interacting with GnuPG, being able to perform functions
such as but not limited to encrypting, signing, decryption, verification,
and key-listing parsing.
Finding the home country of a client using only the IP address can be
difficult. Looking up the domain name associated with that address can provide
some help, but many IP address are not reverse mapped to any useful domain, and
the most common domain (.com) offers no help when looking for country.
This module comes bundled with a database of countries where various IP
addresses have been assigned. Although the country of assignment will probably
be the country associated with a large ISP rather than the client herself, this
is probably good enough for most log analysis applications, and under test has
proved to be as accurate as reverse-DNS and WHOIS lookup.

JSON-RPC is a stateless and light-weight remote procedure call (RPC)
protocol for inter-networking applications over HTTP. It uses JSON as the
data format for of all facets of a remote procedure call, including all
application data carried in parameters.
The old modules - JSONRPC::Transport::HTTP and Apache::JSONRPC are deprecated.
Please try to use JSON::RPC::Server and JSON::RPC::Client which support both
JSON-RPC protocol version 1.1 and 1.0.
This module allows you to map from US two-letter codes to statees and vice
versa.

T. M. Brannon,
A big part of good API design is that we should be able to be flexible in the
ways that we take parameters.
Params::Coerce attempts to encourage this, by making it easier to take a
variety of different arguments, while adding negligable additional complexity
to your code.

Params::Util provides a basic set of importable functions that makes checking
parameters a hell of a lot easier While they can be (and are) used in other
contexts, the main point behind this module is that the functions both Do What
You Mean, and Do The Right Thing, so they are most useful when you are getting
params passed into your code from someone and/or somewhere else and you can't
really trust the quality.
Thus, Params::Util is of most use at the edges of your API, where params and
data are coming in from outside your code. The functions provided by
Params::Util check in the most strictly correct manner known, are documented as
thoroughly as possible so their exact behaviour is clear, and heavily tested so
make sure they are not fooled by weird data and Really Bad Things.
To use, simply load the module providing the functions you want to use as
arguments (as shown in the SYNOPSIS).
To aid in maintainability, Params::Util will never export by default.
You must explicitly name the functions you want to export, or use the :ALL
param to just have it export everything (although this is not recommended if
you have any _FOO functions yourself with which future additions to
Params::Util may clash)

Test::LeakTrace provides several functions that trace memory leaks. This module
scans arenas, the memory allocation system, so it can detect any leaked SVs in
given blocks.
Leaked SVs are SVs which are not released after the end of the scope they have
been created. These SVs include global variables and internal caches. For
example, if you call a method in a tracing block, perl might prepare a cache
for the method. Thus, to trace true leaks, no_leaks_ok() and leaks_cmp_ok()
executes a block more than once.e

The perl-Test-NoWarnings package
If you have written a test module based on Test::Builder then Test::Tester
allows you to test it with the minimum of effort.
Text::CSV provides facilities for the composition and decomposition of
comma-separated values using Text::CSV_XS or its pure Perl version.
An instance of the Text::CSV class can combine fields into a CSV string and
parse a CSV string into fields.
The module accepts either strings or files as input and can utilize any
user-specified characters as delimiters, separators, and escapes so it is
perhaps better called ASV (anything separated values) rather than just CSV.

This module provides bare bones try/catch statements that are designed to
minimize common mistakes with eval blocks, and NOTHING else.
This is unlike TryCatch which provides a nice syntax and avoids adding another
call stack layer, and supports calling return from the try block to return from
the parent subroutine. These extra features come at a cost of a few
dependencies, namely Devel::Declare and Scope::Upper which are occasionally
problematic, and the additional catch filtering uses Moose type constraints
which may not be desirable either.
The main focus of this module is to provide simple and reliable error handling
for those having a hard time installing TryCatch, but who still want to write
correct eval blocks without 5 lines of boilerplate each time.
It's designed to work as correctly as possible in light of the various
pathological edge cases (see BACKGROUND) and to be compatible with any style of
error values (simple strings, references, objects, overloaded objects, etc).
Pygobjects is an extension module for python that gives you access to
GLib's GObjects.
A mod_python handler that uses instances of subclasses of class Servlet (thus
its name) to respond to HTTP GET and POST requests. For each request a series
of methods are called on the instance, the output of such being sent to the
client as the response. This handler was inspired by WebWare.

Cisco Router Emulator supported by GNS3 Community
Dynamips emulates Cisco 7200/3600/3725/3745/2691 Routers on a traditional PC.
You can use dynamips to create labs. It uses IOS Images (which are not part
of this package). Of course, this emulator cannot replace a real router. It is
simply a complementary tool to real labs for administrators of Cisco networks
or people wanting to pass their CCNA/CCNP/CCIE exams.
Enca is an Extremely Naive Charset Analyser. It detects character set and
encoding of text files and can also convert them to other encodings using
either a built-in converter or external libraries and tools like libiconv,
librecode, or cstocs.
Currently, it has support for Belarussian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech,
Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, Ukrainian,
Chinese, and some multibyte encodings (mostly variants of Unicode)
independent on the language.
This package also contains shared Enca library other programs can make use of.
Install Enca if you need to cope with text files of dubious origin
and unknown encoding and convert them to some reasonable encoding.
FOX is a C++-based library for graphical user interface development.
FOX supports modern GUI features such as drag-and-drop, tooltips, tab
books, tree lists, icons, multiple document interfaces (MDI), timers,
idle processing, automatic GUI updating, as well as OpenGL/Mesa for 3D
graphics. Subclassing of basic FOX widgets allows for easy extension
beyond the built-in widgets by application writers.
