Reply is a lightweight, extensible REPL for Perl. It is plugin-based (see Reply::Plugin), and through plugins supports many advanced features such as coloring and pretty printing, readline support, and pluggable commands.

String::Random is used to generate random strings. It was written to make generating random passwords and such a little easier. See the documentation in pod format in the module for more information.

Sometimes you want roles. You're not sure about Moose, Mouse, Moo and what was that damned Squirrel thing anyway? Then there's Class::Trait, but it has a funky syntax and the maintainer's deprecated it in favor of Moose::Role and you really don't care that it handles overloading, instance application or has a workaround for the SUPER:: bug. You think a meta-object protocol sounds nifty, but you don't understand it. Maybe you're not sure you want the syntactic sugar for object declaration. Maybe you've convinced your colleagues that roles are a good idea but they're leery of dragging in Moose (your author has had this happen more than once and heard of others making the same complaint). Sometimes you just want good old-fashioned roles which let you separate class responsibility from code reuse.

SVN::Access includes both an object oriented interface for manipulating SVN access files (AuthzSVNAccessFile files), as well as a command line interface to that object oriented programming interface (svnaclmgr.pl) which is in the examples/ directory.

This module mirrors remote repositories to a local Subversion repository. It supports remote Subversion repositories accessible via the SVN::Ra interface; other version control systems (such as Perforce and CVS) are also supported via the VCP module.

S4 provides a wrapper to subversion that extends several of the commands (for example, "fixprop", "scrub", "snapshot"). It understands all svn commands; you may simply use "s4" wherever you would normally type "svn".

This module calls an external editor with an optional text message and returns what was input as a file handle. By default, the EDITOR environment variable will be used, otherwise vi.

Set::Tiny is a thin wrapper around regular Perl hashes to perform often needed set operations, such as testing two sets of strings for equality, or checking whether one is contained within the other.

Shell::EnvImporter allows various kinds of shell scripts (csh, tcsh, bash, zsh and even perl) to be "sourced" into a Perl program. This module also allows restoration of the pre-sourced environment.

String::Formatter is a tool for building sprintf-like formatting routines. It supports named or positional formatting, custom conversions, fixed string interpolation, and simple width-matching out of the box.
