Pod works well, but writing it can be time-consuming and tedious. For example,
commonly used layouts like lists require numerous lines of text to make just a
couple of simple points. An alternative approach is to write documentation in
a wiki-text shorthand (referred to here as wikidoc) and use Pod::WikiDoc to
extract it and convert it into its corresponding Pod as a separate .pod file.
This is a CORE module. If you installed perl 5.003 or above, a
version of this module is already available to you. This CPAN
package is only here to update core distributions prior 5.005.
The version provided is the same that comes with perl 5.00502.
If you run a newer version of perl, the version of Text::ParseWords
included there may be newer. This package is not fully synchronized
with the perl distributions.
Please run "perldoc Text::ParseWords" to see what this module
is for.
About the project
We plan to build a program that will accept ASCII text as input and generate
International Morse Code as output. The output formats can be:
- . -..- - (text) on the console
Raw audio on /dev/audio (8bit PCM data)
.wav files
.ogg or (proprietary format) compressed audio
International Morse Code
Supported character set includes [A-Za-z] (all downcased as Morse is not case
sensitive), [0-9], ",-.?/" plus a few procedural characters (SK, AR, BT etc).
PDFMiner is a tool for extracting information from PDF documents. Unlike other
PDF-related tools, it focuses entirely on getting and analyzing text data.
PDFMiner allows to obtain the exact location of texts in a page, as well as
other information such as fonts or lines. It includes a PDF converter that can
transform PDF files into other text formats (such as HTML).
It has an extensible PDF parser that can be used for other purposes instead
of text analysis.
Library to create spreadsheet files compatible with
MS Excel 97/2000/XP/2003 XLS files, on any platform, with Python 2.3
to 2.6
xlwt is a library for generating spreadsheet files that are compatible
with Excel 97/2000/XP/2003, OpenOffice.org Calc, and Gnumeric. xlwt
has full support for Unicode. Excel spreadsheets can be generated on
any platform without needing Excel or a COM server. The only
requirement is Python 2.3 to 2.6. xlwt is a fork of pyExcelerator.
This package contains SGML formatting tools that were once a part
of the base FreeBSD distribution. This port should be regarded
as a temporary solution to formatting SGML files until the
wrinkles in jade, a DSSSL processor, get ironed out.
If you are running FreeBSD 2.1.x, you should fetch the groff mm
macros from FreeBSD 2.2 or later because the macros in 2.1.x are
seriously broken.

Parsimonious aims to be the fastest arbitrary-lookahead parser written
in pure Python and the most usable. It's based on parsing expression
grammars (PEGs), which means you feed it a simplified sort of EBNF
notation. Parsimonious was designed to undergird a MediaWiki parser
that wouldn't take 5 seconds or a GB of RAM to do one page, but it's
applicable to all sorts of languages.
GeneWeb is a genealogy software program with a Web interface
originally developed by Daniel de Rauglaudre, but currently
maintained by fabien@geneanet.org. It can be used off-line
or in a Web environment. It uses very efficient techniques
of relationship and consanguinity computing, developed in
collaboration with Didier Remy, research Director at INRIA.
Feel free to enable option GTK2 to try the new GUI. It's
only disabled by default to avoid accidental GTK2 dependencies.
CGI::SSI is meant to be used as an easy way to filter shtml through CGI
scripts in a loose imitation of Apache's mod_include. If you're using
Apache, you may want to use either mod_include or the Apache::SSI module
instead of CGI::SSI. Limitations in a CGI script's knowledge of how the
server behaves make some SSI directives impossible to imitate from a CGI
script.
SpeedyCGI is a way to run CGI perl scripts persistently, which usually
makes them run much more quickly. A script can be converted to
SpeedyCGI by changing the interpreter line at the top of the
script. After the script is initially run, instead of exiting,
SpeedyCGI keeps the perl interpreter running. During subsequent runs,
this interpreter is used to handle new requests instead of starting a
new perl interpreter for each execution.
