Calculates Easter for a given year. Yes, Date::Manip already has code in it to do this. But Date::Manip is very big, and rather slow. I needed something faster and smaller, and did not need all that other stuff.

Data::Throttler::Memcached accepts the same arguments as Data::Throttler, plus the "cache" argument. The cache argument must be a hashref, which contains the arguments passed to the cache backend.

DateTime::Calendar::Pataphysical is the implementation of the pataphysical calendar. Each year in this calendar contains 13 months of 29 days. This regularity makes this a convenient alternative for the irregular Gregorian calendar.

No Time Zones No Geographical Borders How long is a Swatch .beat? In short, we have divided up the virtual and real day into 1000 beats. One Swatch beat is the equivalent of 1 minute 26.4 seconds. That means that 12 noon in the old time system is the equivalent of @500 Swatch .beats. We are not just creating a new way of measuring time, we are also creating a new meridian in Biel, Switzerland, home of Swatch. Biel MeanTime (BMT) is the universal reference for Internet Time. A day in Internet Time begins at midnight BMT (@000 Swatch .beats) (Central European Wintertime). The meridian is marked for all to see on the facade of the Swatch International Headquarters on Jakob-Staempfli Street, Biel, Switzerland. So, it is the same time all over the world, be it night or day, the era of time zones has disappeared.

The ELF shell 0.5 takes advantage of a hash based, lazy typed object oriented architecture, a readline based interactive mode (35+ builtin commands, with history, completion, regular expression powered), a scripting mode (sample scripts and session logs available on this page) and brings more modification API (relocation tables, .interp, .dynamic, .dynsym, PAX bits, and +), atomic operations with get/set and add/sub/mul/div/mod commands, section injection by top (insert unlimited amount of data in the executable PT_LOAD, even in non-executable environments), a quiet output for tiny screens, ELFsh modules support, sophisticated write/printf primitives, SPARC PLT infection, experimental ET_EXEC relocation and remapping features, ET_REL injection into ET_EXEC (with bss and symtab merging support), disassembly (with good resolving) on i386 binaries with libasm, and much more.

This is a simple developer's tool for finding circular references in objects and other types of references. Because of Perl's reference-count based memory management, circular references will cause memory leaks.

DateTime::Set is a module for date/time sets. It can be used to handle two different types of sets. The first is a fixed set of predefined datetime objects. For example, if we wanted to create a set of dates containing the birthdays of people in our family. The second type of set that it can handle is one based on the idea of a recurrence, such as "every Wednesday", or "noon on the 15th day of every month". This type of set can have fixed starting and ending datetimes, but neither is required. So our "every Wednesday set" could be "every Wednesday from the beginning of time until the end of time", or "every Wednesday after 2003-03-05 until the end of time", or "every Wednesday between 2003-03-05 and 2004-01-07".

Devel::Dumpvar is a pure object-orientated reimplementation of the dumpvar.pl script. This makes it much more versatile version to use for dumping information to debug log files or other uses where is no need to reassemble the data.

Devel::BeginLift 'lifts' arbitrary sub calls to running at compile time - sort of a souped up version of "use constant". It does this via some slightly insane perlguts magic.

Devel::CheckOS provides a more friendly interface to $^O, and also lets you check for various OS "families" such as "Unix", which includes things like Linux, Solaris, AIX etc.
