BFD allows for impromptu dumping of output to STDERR. Useful when you
want to take a peek at a nest Perl data structure by emitting (relatively)
nicely formatted output with filename and line number prefixed to each line.
This module was mainly written for Net::XMPP2, Net::IRC3 and BS to provide a
consistent API for registering and emitting events. Even though I originally
wrote it for those modules I released it separately in case anyone may find this
module useful.
This Perl extension implements the BSD process resource limit functions
getrusage() getrlimit() setrlimit()
and the BSD process priority functions. These are available also via
core Perl but here we do more tricks so that the PRIO_* are available.
getpriority() setpriority()
Also is provided
times()
which provides the same functionality as the one in core Perl, only with
better time resolution.
Perl extension for devstat(3) API.
This module's default exports override the core stat() and lstat()
functions, replacing them with versions that contain BSD 4.4 extensions
such as flags. This module also adds chflags function.
This driver uses a database table to store the cache for CHI.
The newest versions of MySQL and SQLite are known to work.
Other RDBMSes should work.
Why cache things in a database? Isn't the database what people are trying to
avoid with caches? This is often true, but a simple primary key lookup is
extremely fast in many databases and this provides a shared cache that can be
used when less reliable storage like memcached is not appropriate. Also, the
speed of simple lookups on MySQL when accessed over a local socket is very hard
to beat. DBI is fast.
The Badger toolkit is a collection of Perl modules designed to simplify
the process of building object-oriented Perl applications. It provides a
set of foundation classes upon which you can quickly build robust and
reliable systems that are simple, sexy and scalable.
CHI provides a unified caching API, designed to assist a developer in
persisting data for a specified period of time.
The CHI interface is implemented by driver classes that support
fetching, storing and clearing of data. Driver classes exist or will
exist for the gamut of storage backends available to Perl, such as
memory, plain files, memory mapped files, memcached, and DBI.
CHI is intended as an evolution of DeWitt Clinton's Cache::Cache
package, adhering to the basic Cache API but adding new features and
addressing limitations in the Cache::Cache implementation.
[BCLASS and $CLASS are both synonyms for __PACKAGE__. Easier to type.
$CLASS has the additional benefit of working in strings.
CLASS is a constant, not a subroutine call. $CLASS is a plain variable, it is
not tied. There is no performance loss for using CLASS over __PACKAGE__ except
the loading of the module.
Brannigan is an attempt to ease the pain of collecting, validating and parsing
input parameters in web applications. It's designed to answer both of the main
problems that web applications face:
* Simple user input
Brannigan can validate and parse simple, "flat", user input, possibly
coming from web forms.
Complex data structures
Brannigan can validate and parse complex data structures, possibly
deserialized from JSON or XML data sent to web services and APIs.
