This Perl module parses ctags files and handles both traditional ctags as well as extended ctags files such as produced with Exuberant ctags. The module is implemented as a wrapper around the readtags library that normally ships with Exuberant ctags.

This perl module will eval another perl script and return a hash ref of the final values of the global variables in the eval. This allows you to write generic config files in Perl.

If you need nonblocking access to an external program, or want to execute some blocking code in a separate process, but you don't want to write a wrapper module or some POE::Wheel::Run boilerplate code, then POE::Quickie can help. You just specify what you're interested in (stdout, stderr, and/or exit code), and POE::Quickie will handle the rest in a sensible way. It has some convenience features, such as killing processes after a timeout, and storing process-specific context information which will be delivered with every event. There is also an even lazier API which suspends the execution of your event handler and gives control back to POE while your task is running, the same way LWP::UserAgent::POE does. This is provided by the quickie_* functions which are exported by default.

POE::Stage is a proposed base class for POE components. Its purpose is to standardize the most common design patterns that have arisen through years of POE::Component development.

INTRO ===== I needed a basic text-mode GUI framework to implement some nice-looking proggies on Linux. Didn't find any around, so necessity became the mother of PerlVision. And this beast kept growing as I made love to Perl, so now it's far from 'basic'. Provides 90% of the features you'd want for a user interface, including check boxes, radio buttons, three different styles (!) of pushbuttons, single and multiple selection list boxes, an extensible edit box that does auto-wrapping, a scrollable viewbox, single line text entry fields, a menu bar with pulldown menus, and full pop-up dialog boxes with multiple controls. This version of PerlVision uses Will Setzer's Curses.pm dynaload module for Perl, so you need to get and compile that first, from ftp://ftp.ncsu.edu/pub/math/wsetzer/cursperl<whatever>. PerlVision will only work with Perl 5+ of-course (upgrade || die()!).

PadWalker is a module which allows you to inspect (and even change!) lexical variables in any subroutine which called you. It will only show those variables which are in scope at the point of the call.

This module is intended for use in operations that can be done in parallel where the number of processes to be forked off should be limited. Typical use is a downloader which will be retrieving hundreds/thousands of files.

This is a collection of .pl files that have historically been bundled with the Perl core but are planned not to be so distributed with core version 5.15 or later.

PerlIO::Util provides general PerlIO utilities: utility layers and utility methods. Utility layers are a part of PerlIO::Util, but you don't need to say use PerlIO::Util for loading them. They will be automatically loaded.

Parse::Method::Signatures is a Perl6 like method signature parser inspired by Perl6::Signature but streamlined to just support the subset deemed useful for TryCatch and MooseX::Method::Signatures.
