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.

=====
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.
The Parse::Lex.pm module for perl5 is an object-oriented generator of
lexical analyzers.
This distribution includes Parse::YYLex (written by Vladimir Alexiev)
a lexer generator that you can use with yacc parsers.
