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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

PLUtils is a set of Perl scripts and modules designed to make writing interactive webpages and other Perl scripts easier. It includes database access, session management and more.

cgi_buffer is a group of libraries that may be used to improve performance of CGI scripts (and other content generation engines) in some circumstances, by applying performance-enhancing HTTP mechanisms that are typically not supported by them. Currently, Perl, Python and PHP are supported. The Python library may also be used as a wrapper around another CGI script.

CGI::Cache is a Perl extension to help cache output of time-intensive CGI scripts so that subsequent visits to such scripts will not cost as much time. Features: Can be easily added to any CGI script, mod_perl compatible, Rich control over caching policies, and Auto-generation of cache keys from CGI parameters.

Mason is a powerful Perl-based web site development and delivery engine. With Mason you can embed Perl code in your HTML and construct pages from shared, reusable components. Mason is designed to solve the common problems of site development including caching, debugging, templating, simulating browser conditions, maintaining development and production sites, and more. Mason can be used from CGI or stand-alone, however, it is optimally designed for use with mod_perl and Apache. Mason is currently being used by various well-known sites including Salon.com, TechWeb, Stamps.com, etc.
