For many APIs with large numbers of classes, it can be very useful to be able to do a quick once-over to make sure that classes, methods, and inheritance is correct, before doing more comprehensive testing. This module aims to provide such a capability.

This module provides a few convenience methods for testing exception based code. It is built with Test::Builder and plays happily with Test::Simple, Test::More and friends. If you are not familiar with Test::Simple or Test::More now would be the time to go take a look.

This package contains a set of functions for working with Random Number Generators (RNGs). In particular, it defines a generic S4 framework for getting/setting the current RNG, or RNG data that are embedded into objects for reproducibility. Notably, convenient default methods greatly facilitate the way current RNG settings can be changed.

acsccid is a PC/SC driver for Linux/Mac OS X and it supports ACS CCID smart card readers. This library provides a PC/SC IFD handler implementation and communicates with the readers through the PC/SC Lite resource manager (pcscd).

This module serves as a common base class for test log parsers. These tools are intended to be able to parse output from a wide variety of tests - including non-Perl tests. The parsers also write the test data into the 'Test Result Publication Interface' (TRPI) XML schema, developed by SpikeSource. See http://www.spikesource.com/testresults/index.jsp?show=trpi-schema

Test::Trap is primarily (but not exclusively) for use in test scripts: a block eval on steroids, configurable and extensible, but by default trapping (Perl) STDOUT, STDERR, warnings, exceptions, would-be exit codes, and return values from boxed blocks of test code. The values collected by the latest trap can then be queried or tested through a special trap object.

aliased is simple in concept but is a rather handy module. It loads the class you specify and exports into your namespace a subroutine that returns the class name. You can explicitly alias the class to another name or, if you prefer, you can do so implicitly. In the latter case, the name of the subroutine is the last part of the class name.

Most programming languages have a native "Boolean" data type. Perl does not. Perl has a simple and well known Truth System. The following scalar values are false: @false = (undef, 0, 0.0, '', '0'); Every other scalar value is true. This module provides basic Boolean support, by defining two special objects: "true" and "false".

Tie::DB_File::SplitHash Designed for support of file size limited OSes. Transparently splits a DB_File database into as many distinct files as desired. Distributes hash entries between the files using a randomization algorithm. Has the effect of allowing DB_File hashes to grow to the full size of the partition. Requires 'Digest::SHA1' and 'DB_File' to be installed.

The prefork pragma is intended to allow module writers to optimise module loading for both scenarios with as little additional code as possible. The prefork.pm is intended to serve as a central and optional marshalling point for state detection (are we running in procedural or pre-forking mode) and to act as a relatively light-weight module loader.
