Simple Blog Code is a simple markup language. You can use it for guest
books, blogs, wikis, boards and various other web applications. It
produces valid and semantic (X)HTML from input and is patterned on that
tiny usenet markups like *bold* and _underline_.
The LaTeX::Driver module encapsulates the details of invoking the
Latex programs to format a LaTeX document. Formatting with LaTeX
is complicated; there are potentially many programs to run and the
output of those programs must be monitored to determine whether
further processing is required.
The HTML::Fraction encodes fractions as HTML entities. Some very common
fractions have HTML entities (eg 1/2 is ½). Additionally, common
vulgar fractions have Unicode characters (eg 1/5 is ⅕). This
module takes a string and encodes fractions as entities: this means that
it will look pretty in the browser.
Lingua::Ispell.pm - a module encapsulating access to the Ispell program.
ispell, when reporting on misspelled words, indicates the string it was
unable to verify, as well as its starting offset in the input line.
No such information is returned for words which are deemed to be
correctly spelled.
The exportable subroutines of Lingua::EN::Inflect provide plural
inflections and "a"/"an" selection for English words.
Plural forms of all nouns, most verbs, and some adjectives are
provided. Where appropriate, "classical" variants (for example:
"brother" -> "brethren", "dogma" -> "dogmata", etc.) are also
provided.

Forenames and surnames are often stored either wholly in UPPERCASE
or wholly in lowercase. This module allows you to convert names
into the correct case where possible.
Although forenames and surnames are normally stored separately if
they do appear in a single string, whitespace separated, NameCase
and nc deal correctly with them.
The Free Software Foundation's "diff" utilities, including "diff",
"diff3", "sdiff", and "cmp".
These utilities exist in the FreeBSD base collection, but the GNU
versions have added functionality that is sometimes useful.
Note that this port will install these utilities with a `g' prefix,
for example gdiff, gdiff3, ggcmp, but the texinfo documentation
will refer to these utilities without the `g' prefix.
PDF::WebKit uses wkhtmltopdf to convert HTML documents into PDFs. It
is a port of the elegant PDFKit Ruby library.
wkhtmltopdf generates beautiful PDFs by leveraging the rendering power
of Qt's WebKit browser engine (used by both Apple Safari and Google
Chrome browsers).
Parse::BooleanLogic is a fast parser for boolean expressions. Originally
written for Request Tracker to parse SQL like expressions, it can be
used to parse other boolean logic sentences with OPERANDs joined using
binary OPERATORs and grouped and nested using parentheses.
A Perl 5 module for reading in, manipulating, and outputting
bibliographic records in the USMARC format. It handles conversions
from MARC into ASCII (text), Library of Congress MARCMaker, HTML,
and ISBD. Input from MARCMaker format is also supported. Individual
records, fields, indicators, and subfields can be created, modified, and
deleted. It can extract URLs from the 856 field into HTML.
