Sometimes, when you run 2 different .ZIP programs on the same data
(PKZIP & KZIP for example), some files get compressed better in one
program, while other files get compressed better in the other.
ZIPMIX will take the best files from each one and create a new
output file, which is guaranteed to be equal to or smaller in size
to both of the input files.
ZIPMIX can also be used to perform boolean operations on ZIP files,
such as merging 2 ZIP files together, or updating a new file (with
some tricks).
Audio::Ecasound provides perl bindings to the ecasound control
interface of the ecasound program. You can use perl to automate or
interact with ecasound so you don't have to turn you back on the
adoring masses packed into Wembly Stadium.
Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio
processing. It can be used for audio playback, recording, format
conversions, effects processing, mixing, as a LADSPA plugin host and
JACK node. Version >= 2.2.X must be installed to use this
package. "SEE ALSO" for more info.
NASTRAN-95
NASTRAN is the NASA Structural Analysis System, a finite element analysis
(FEA) program completed in the early 1970's. It was the first of its kind
and opened the door to computer-aided engineering. Subsections of a design
can be modeled and then larger groupings of these elements can again be
modeled. NASTRAN can handle elastic stability analysis, complex
eigenvalues for vibration and dynamic stability analysis, dynamic response
for transient and steady state loads, and random excitation, and static
response to concentrated and distributed loads, thermal expansion, and
enforced deformations.
NOTE: There is no technical support available for this software.
Dist::Zilla builds distributions of code to be uploaded to the CPAN.
In this respect, it is like ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, or
Module::Install. Unlike those tools, however, it is not also a
system for installing code that has been downloaded from the CPAN.
Since it's only run by authors, and is meant to be run on a repository
checkout rather than on published, released code, it can do much
more than those tools, and is free to make much more ludicrous
demands in terms of prerequisites.
Perl module for static variables without namespace pollution
Lexical::Var and Lexical::Sub implement lexical scoping of static variables and
subroutines. Although it can be used directly, it is mainly intended to be
infrastructure for modules that export particular objects.
Lexical::Var only manages variables of static duration (the kind of duration
that our and state variables have). To get a fresh variable for each invocation
of a function, use my.
Lexical::Sub is implemented through the mechanism of Lexical::Var. Its distinct
name and declaration syntax exist to make lexical subroutine declarations
clearer.
The core idea of libee is to provide a small but hopefully convenient
API layer above the CEE standard. However, CEE is not finished. At the
time of this writing, CEE is under heavy development and even some of
its core data structures (like the data dictionary and taxonomy) have
not been fully specified. So for the time being, libee should be
thought of as a useful library that helps you get your events
normalized. If you program cleanly to libee, chances are not bad that
only relatively little effort is required to move your app over to be
CEE compliant (once the standard is out).
exmpp is a fast and scalable library for the Extensible Messaging and Presence
Protocol (XMPP) written in Erlang/OTP.
Main features:
- Based on Erlang message reception and pattern matching. The programming
style is close to Erlang approach and lead to very short pieces of code.
- Support for both formating of client and server packets.
- Based on Erlang atoms and binary to limit memory consumption. It can be
used to write a highly scalable XMPP proxy or XMPP server.
- SSL support.
- Several different XML parsers can be used (expat, libxml2).
Lazarus is the class libraries for Free Pascal that emulate Delphi.
Free Pascal is a GPL'ed compiler that runs on Linux, Win32, OS/2, 68K
and more. Free Pascal is designed to be able to understand and compile
Delphi syntax, which is of course OOP.
Lazarus is the part of the missing puzzle that will allow you to
develop Delphi-like programs in all of the above platforms. Unlike Java
which strives to be a write once run anywhere, Lazarus and Free Pascal
strives for write once compile anywhere.
MIPS32 Simulator -- "1/25th the performance at none of the cost"
Spim/Xspim simulates MIPS32 assembly code, providing a gdb and xgdb
like interface to the classical MIPS RISC CPU. The virtual machine
it provides can be either the one presented by the MIPS assembler or the
one of the bare hardware. The simulator can also be built to simulate the
pipeline architecture of the MIPS machine (both the control and floating
point pipelines). When built for this, it also simulates and displays
an instruction and data cache.
This simulator is useful in CS and EE classes, including providing a
target machine for compilers courses, lower division assembly language
programming, microprocessor design courses, etc...
RenRot is utility written in Perl, aiming to carry out different processing
tasks upon the image files (especially those containing EXIF data).
RenRot renames files according to the flexible name template (allowing the
DateTimeOriginal and FileModifyDate EXIF tags, if they exist, otherwise, the
name will be set according to the current time stamp). Furthermore, RenRot
can aggregate files according to the shooting time period.
Additionally, it can losslessly rotate JPEGs and their thumbnails, based on
the Orientation EXIF tag, or a given angle.
The script can also put commentary into the Commentary and UserComment tags.
Personal details can be specified via XMP tags defined in a configuration
file.
