humanzip is a compression program that operates on text files. Unlike most compression algorithms, its output is human readable. Indeed, it is explictly meant to be read by humans and might even be easier to read than the original. humanzip compresses files by looking for common strings of words and replacing them with single symbols. The idea is to reduce the screen and print size of documents. Humanzip does not explictly try to reduce the size of the file as measured in bytes, although this usually happens incidentally.

Full-text search system. You can search lots of documents for some documents including specified words. If you run a web site, it is useful as your own search engine for pages in your site. Also, it is useful as search utilities of mail boxes and file servers. The characteristic of Hyper Estraier is the following. * High performance of search * High scalability of target documents * Perfect recall ratio by N-gram method * Phrase search, attribute search, and similarity search * Multilingualism with Unicode * Independent of file format and repository * Simple and powerful API * Supporting P2P architecture

Instead of reading input in lines as sed, bbe reads arbitrary blocks from an input stream and performs byte-related transformations on found blocks. Blocks can be defined using start/stop strings, stream offset and block length, or a combination. Basic editing commands include delete, replace, search/replace, binary operations (and, or, etc.), append, and bcd/ASCII conversion. For examining the input stream, it contains some grep-like features like printing the input file name, stream offset, and block number of found blocks. Block contents can also be printed in different formats like hex, octal, ASCII, and binary.

Flate is a template library used to deal with html code in CGI applications. The library includes C and Perl support. All html code is put in an external file (the template) and printed using the library functions: variables, zones (parts to be displayed or not) and tables (parts to be displayed 0 to n times). Using this method you don't need to modify/recompile your application when modifying html code, printing order doesn't matter in your CGI code, and your CGI code is much cleaner.

mdocml is a suite of tools compiling mdoc, the roff macro package of choice for BSD manual pages, and man, the predominant historical package for UNIX manuals. The mission of mdocml is to deprecate groff, the GNU troff implementation, for displaying mdoc pages whilst providing token support for man. mdocml consists of the libmandoc validating compiler and mandoc, which interfaces with the compiler library to format output for UNIX terminals (with support for wide-character locales), XHTML, HTML, PostScript, and PDF. Disambiguation: mdocml is often referred to by its installed binary, "mandoc".

Pod::Simple is a Perl library for parsing text in the Pod ("plain old documentation") markup language that is typically used for writing documentation for Perl and for Perl modules. The Pod format is explained in the perlpod man page; the most common formatter is called "perldoc". Pod formatters can use Pod::Simple to parse Pod documents into produce renderings of them in plain ASCII, in HTML, or in any number of other formats. Typically, such formatters will be subclasses of Pod::Simple, and so they will inherit its methods, like parse_file.

How does Pod::WSDL work? If you instantiate a Pod::WSDL object with the name of the module (or the path of the file, or an open filehandle) providing the web service like this my $pwsdl = new Pod::WSDL(source => 'My::Module', location => 'http://my.services.location/on/the/web'); Pod::WSDL will try to find "My::Module" in @INC, open the file, parse it for WSDL directives and prepare the information for WSDL output. By calling $pwsdl->WSDL; Pod::WSDL will output the WSDL document. That's it.

SVG::Parser is an XML parser for SVG Documents. It takes XML as input and produces an SVG object as its output. SVG::Parser supports both XML::SAX and XML::Parser (Expat) parsers, with SAX preferred by default. Only one of these needs to be installed for SVG::Parser to function. A list of preferred parsers may be specified in the import list - SVG::Parser will use the first parser that successfully loads. Some basic measures are taken to provide cross-compatibility. Applications requiring more advanced parser features should use the relevant parser module directly; see SVG::Parser::Expat and SVG::Parser::SAX.

The Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML module can be used to create an Excel file in XML format. The Excel XML format is supported in Excel 2002 and 2003. Multiple worksheets can be added to a workbook and formatting can be applied to cells. Text, numbers, and formulas can be written to the cells. The module supports strings up to 32,767 characters and the strings can be in UTF8 format. Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML uses the same interface as Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. This module cannot, as yet, be used to write to an existing Excel XML file.

Parsing CSV files is nasty. It seems so simple, but it usually isn't. Thankfully Text::CSV_XS takes care of most of that nastiness for us. Like many modules which have to deal with all manner of nastiness and edge cases, however, it can be clumsy to work with in the simple case. Thus this module. We simply provide a little wrapper around Text::CSV_XS to streamline the common case scenario. (Or at least my common case scenario; feel free to write your own wrapper if this one doesn't do what you want).
