Script4rss takes a plain text file which holds a description for how the particular site should be converted and creates a perl script which is able to do that in the most fast and efficient way (well, someday). Users don't have to know how to program but they need to know regular expressions (although there probably aren't a lot of these people). At the moment, script4rss is in its early development, which translates to "it can be used but you have to figure out how yourself" and "if you screw up, the script does so as well". Options include: * Detect multiple catagories within an HTML page. * Extract information over multiple lines. * Pre-and append text in output. * Attempt to circumvent "variable" HTML.

Doulos SIL is a Unicode-based font family that attempts to provide a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any Roman- or Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or orthographic needs. In addition, there is provision for other characters and symbols useful to linguists. This font makes use of state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex typographic issues, such as the need to position arbitrary combinations of base glyphs and diacritics optimally. Doulos is very similar to Times/Times New Roman, but only has a single face- regular. It is intended for use alongside other Times-like fonts where a range of styles (italic, bold) are not needed. This compact variant has been created with TypeTuner Web, by setting the "Line spacing" feature to "Tight", and will not be able to be TypeTuned again.

Font::TTFMetrics encapsulates the font metrics of a true type font file. A true type font file contains several tables which need to be parsed before any useful information could be gathered about the font. There is the excellent module for parsing TTF font in CPAN by Martin Hosken, Font::TTF. But in my opinion the use of Font::TTF requires intimate knowledge of TTF font format. This module was written to support the use of TTF in Pastel 2D graphics library in Perl. Three factors prompted me to write this module: first, I required a fast module to access TTF file. Second, all the access required was read-only. Last, I wanted a user friendly, higher level API to access TTF file.

This is a Linux/i386 binary port of the Fontconfig library and utilities. In the words of its author, Keith Packard: Fontconfig can: * discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common source of configuration problems. * perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative fonts can be selected if fonts are missing. * identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of languages. * have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based configuration file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need is minimized). * efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of fonts you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of fonts, while minimzing memory usage. * be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a display.

This is the Mowitz ("More widgets") library. The project's goal is to create a library of widgets for X applications to use. The widgets have been snarfed from various sources and are all open source (GPL or MIT licenses). Available widgets o Canvas o Ruler o Check o Slider o Combo o Spinner o Frame o Tabs o Handle o TextField o Image o Tooltip o ListTree o VSlider o Notebook o Rudegrid o And a complete menu kit. The original reason for creating this library is that the Athena widget set lacks a lot of widgets that would be useful, and many of the existing widgets leave a lot to be desired in appearance and behaviour.

Snd is a sound editor modeled loosely after Emacs and an old, sorely-missed PDP-10 sound editor named Dpysnd. It can accommodate any number of sounds, each with any number of channels, and can be customized and extended using Guile, Ruby or Forth. Included with it are some command-line utilities: - snd-info (note: renamed from sndinfo, for this FreeBSD port) prints a description of a sound file. - sndplay plays a sound file. - sndrecord records sound from a microphone. - audinfo describes the current state of the audio hardware.

mtop (MySQL top) monitors a MySQL server showing the queries which are taking the most amount of time to complete. Features include 'zooming' in on a process to show the complete query, 'explaining' the query optimizer information for a query and 'killing' queries. In addition, server performance statistics, configuration information, and tuning tips are provided. mkill (MySQL kill) monitors a MySQL server for long running queries and kills them after a specified time interval. Queries can be selected based on regexes on the user, host, command, database, state and query.

This module provides methods for working with adjacency lists. The adjacency list model is a very common way of representing a tree structure. In this model each row in a table has a prent ID column that references the primary key of another row in the same table. Because of this the primary key must only be one column and is usually some sort of integer. The row with a parent ID of 0 is the root node and is usually the parent of all other rows. Although, there is no limitation in this module that would stop you from having multiple root nodes.

DBIx::Simple module aims to be a simplified object oriented interface to Perl DBI. From its description ... Query preparation and execution are combined in a single method, the result object (which is a wrapper around the statement handle) provides easy row-by-row and slurping methods. The "query" method returns either a result object, or a dummy object. The dummy object returns undef (or an empty list) for all methods and when used in boolean context, is false. The dummy object lets you postpone (or skip) error checking, but it also makes immediate error check simply " $db->query(...) or die $db->error".
