denature is a perl program that attempts to convert an HTML page into XSL-FO which it then passes off to the FOP (Formatted Objects Formatter) to produce a PDF document. denature trys to use any included CSS stylesheets to figure out the properties used in the document. The CSS processing in denature is not very mature and only handles a limited amount of the available CSS markup. The CSS support does not handle the contextual entries in a CSS document, and the CSS::Tiny module requires that all the :'s in a document have a space after them.

Universal Feed Parser is a Python module for downloading and parsing syndicated feeds. It can handle RSS 0.90, Netscape RSS 0.91, Userland RSS 0.91, RSS 0.92, RSS 0.93, RSS 0.94, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3, Atom 1.0, and CDF feeds. Universal Feed Parser is easy to use; the module is self-contained in a single file, feedparser.py, and it has one primary public function, parse. parse takes a number of arguments, but only one is required, and it can be a URL, a local filename, or a raw string containing feed data in any format.

A Python utilities collection for building WSGI applications. Werkzeug does not try to be a framework, and instead started as a simple collection of various utilities useful for building WSGI applications. It has since become one of the most advanced collections of its kind. It includes a powerful debugger, fully featured request and response objects, HTTP utilities to handle entity tags, cache control headers, HTTP dates, cookie handling, file uploads, a powerful URL routing system and a bunch of community contributed add-on modules.

This class works just like LWP::UserAgent (and is based on it, by being a subclass of it), except that when you use it to get a web page but run into a possibly-temporary error (like a DNS lookup timeout), it'll wait a few seconds and retry a few times. It also adds some methods for controlling exactly what errors are considered retry-worthy and how many times to wait and for how many seconds, but normally you needn't bother about these, as the default settings are relatively sane.

Apache AXIS is an implementation of the SOAP ("Simple Object Access Protocol") submission to W3C. From the draft W3C specification: SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses.

Glade is a free user interface builder for GTK+ and GNOME. After designing a user interface with glade-2 the layout and configuration are saved in an XML file. libglade is a library which knows how to build and hook up the user interface described in the Glade XML file at application run time. This extension module binds libglade to Perl so you can create and manipulate user interfaces in Perl code in conjunction with Gtk2 and even Gnome2. Better yet you can load a file's contents into a PERL scalar do a few magical regular expressions to customize things and the load up the app. It doesn't get any easier.

Tk::Role::Dialog is meant to be used as a Moose role to be composed for easy Tk dialogs creation. It will create a new toplevel with a title, and possibly a header as well as some buttons. One can create the middle part of the dialog by providing a _build_gui() method, that will receive a Tk::Frame where widgets are supposed to be placed. The attributes (see below) can be either defined as defaults using the _build_attr() methods, or passed arguments to the constructor call. The only mandatory attribute is parent, but you'd better provide some other attributes if you want your dialog to be somehow usable! :-)

XmHTML is a Motif widget capable of displaying HTML 3.2 documents. Features include a very good HTML parser (which is as also available as a Widget) with excellent document verification and repair capabilities. Features built in support for X11 bitmaps, pixmaps, GIF87a & GIF89a (using a patent free LZW decoding method), animated gifs, JPEG (baseline and progressive) and PNG (all features supported), anchor highlighting, text justification, full HTML <FRAME> support, HTML frames and many more. It also comes with four examples demonstrating possible use of the XmHTML widget.

This is a stable version of AfterStep. AfterStep is a NeXTstep style window manager and features quick easy configuration of the look and feel of your setup without the use of a .steprc file. Configuration in most cases is far easier than it used to be. There are a few small bugs, but this release is fairly stable. Included are a number of AfterStep applications including asclock, ascd, and xiterm. There are a number of other very Linux specific applications which are not at present included.

A window-matching utility, inspired by Sawfish's "Matched Windows" option and the lack of the functionality in Metacity. Metacity lacking window matching is not a bad thing -- Metacity is a lean window manager, and window manipulation does not have to be a window manager task. Devil's Pie can be configured to detect windows as they are created, and match the window to a set of rules. If the window matches the rules, it can perform a series of actions on that window. For example, I make all windows created by X-Chat appear on all workspaces, and the main Gkrellm1 window does not appear in the pager or task list.
