This simple utility allows you to view the environment variables present when a CGI is called on your server.

AdminPro is the only web application that empowers you to upload, download, rename, chmod, delete, open, edit and save files, create, rename and remove directories and perform two-click CGI debugging - all from your favorite web browser.

This simple script shows you all of your cgi-bin and website variables to aid you in the installation of cgi scripts. Features include: Shows all the cgi environmental variables, Shows all the CGI.pm retreive environmental variables, Lists the paths to Perl and the Perl executable on your system, Lists the path to sendmail, Lists all of the installed Perl modules, and All Perl modules have links to their CPAN descriptions.

This program is intended to help perl programmers write better code by becoming more aware of their coding style. In particular, one would like to know the code-to-comment ratio, the average number of lines per subroutine, the longest subroutine, etc.

EdcomLib is a collection of related (and sometimes interdependant) classes allowing the construction of a multiuser, database driven, dynamic Web content/application.

Embperl gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML documents. Using Perl means being able to use a very elaborate programming language, which is widely used for WWW purposes. You can also use hundreds of Perl modules which have already been written - including DBI - for database access to a growing number of database systems. While this could also be done with other packages, Embperl has several features especially for HTML: dynamic tables, formfield-processing, escaping/unescaping and more. Embperl is a server-side tool, which means it's browser-indpendent. It can run in various ways: Under mod_perl, as a cgi script, or offline.

This module attempts make using HTML templates simple and natural. It extends standard HTML with a few new HTML-esque tags. The file written with HTML and these new tags is called a template. It is usually saved separate from your script - possibly even created by someone else. Using this module you fill in the values for the variables, loops and branches declared in the template. This allows you to seperate design - the HTML - from the data, which you generate in the Perl script.

XML::XSLT will convert the XML doc on basis of the template. The script can be used as an CGI script, but also as a command-line utility. Also accepts a XSL Template other than <project>.xsl. It requires the modules XML::Parser (version 2.23 or higher) and XML::DOM (version 1.25 or higher) which can be obtained from CPAN. Our module also depends on the module LWP::UserAgent.

Snoop.cgi is a little Perl script that receives environmental data from your user and returns that data in html form.

Provide locking/mutex mechanism under UNIX (using files) and Win32 (using Win32::Mutex). Creates file or mutex if it does not already exist. Allows timed waiting specification. Destruction of FMutex object automatically releases lock.

WWWgrab.pm is a perl5 module to get various response information from an http URL on the World Wide Web for people who have not fully digested or need all the functions of the LWP or www-lib modules. It has functions to get just web page contents, contents with headers, just the HTTP headers or just the first line of the response as a string to validate the URL.

PerlDiver digs into your web server's perl installation and lists installed modules, your server's environment variables, and perl's config info. Also shows the module's pod and version information. Easily add your own categories to PerlDiver.

CGI::Minimal provides a lightweight alternative to the CGI.pm module shipped with Perl. It is approximately 1/6th the size of CGI.pm but provides largely compatible access to form decoding and a small number of other tasks essential to writing CGI scripts in Perl. Designed for people who are comfortable working closely with the HTTP protocal and writing HTML directly. Supports file uploading as just another transparently decoded form field.

This is an experimental Perl module that allows you to use lists as the keys for multi-level hashes. Excellent for parse tree generation and other similar tasks where you need to create very deep trees or the tree depth is not known in advance. A real performance win on very deep trees over 'walking the tree' starting from the root node.

Tie::DB_File::SplitHash is designed for support of file size limitted OSes. It transparently splits a DB_File database into as many distinct files as desired. It also distributes hash entries between the files using a randomization algorithm. It has the effect of allowing DB_File hashes to grow to the full size of the partition. Requires 'Digest::SHA1' and 'DB_File' to be installed.

Tie::FileLRUCache provides a persistent filesystem based LRU cache. It uses the 'last accessed' timestamp generated by the file system to determine the 'oldest' cache entry and discards the oldest cache entries when needed to stay under the -keep_last limit. If you store thing very fast (such that many entries receive the _same_ time stamp), it is essentially a coin toss which entry within a single timestamped second gets purged from the cache to make room for new ones.

Class:NamedParms provides key name checking for named accessor parameters. This allows the use of a generic 'get/set' type parameterized accessor while automatically catching accidental mis-spellings and usage of uninitialized parameters. This catches a large class of programming errors without requiring a new accessor for every object parameter.

Class::ParmList is a general named parameter list parser. It handles default values, required vs allowed distinctions, optional name lexical checking, multiple retrieval, and error reporting. It also works well as a complement to Class::NamedParms.

Search::InvertedIndex is A general purpose inverted indexing system suitable for medium scale searching. By mapping 'keys' to 'indexes' it provides ultra-fast look ups of all 'indexes' containing specific 'keys'. This produces highly scalable behavior where thousands, or even millions of records can be searched extremely quickly.

formtest.pl is useful for testing forms. It displays the raw url-encoded GET or POST string and parses out the variables for display as html or plain text.
