This is a collection of miscellaneous subroutines useful in wide but varying
scenarios; a catch-all module for things that don't obviously belong anywhere
else. Obviously what's useful differs from person to person, but this particular
collection should be useful in object-oriented frameworks, such as
Class::Scaffold and Data::Conveyor.
Data::Peek started off as DDumper being a wrapper module over
Data::Dumper, but grew out to be a set of low-level data
introspection utilities that no other module provided yet, using
the lowest level of the perl internals API as possible.
Data::Throttler helps solving throttling tasks like "allow a single IP
only to send 100 emails per hour".
It provides an optionally persistent data store to keep track of
what happened before and offers a simple yes/no interface to an application,
which can then focus on performing the actual task (like sending email)
or suppressing/postponing it.
This package consists of a C library and a Perl module (which uses
the C library, internally) for all kinds of date calculations based
on the Gregorian calendar (the one used in all western countries today),
thereby complying with all relevant norms and standards: ISO/R 2015-1971,
DIN 1355 and, to some extent, ISO 8601 (where applicable).
Excel uses a different system for its dates than most Unix programs. This
module allows you to convert between a few of the Excel raw formats and
DateTime objects, which can then be further converted via any of the other
DateTime::Format::* modules, or just with DateTime's methods.
This module understands the formats used by MySQL for its DATE, DATETIME, TIME,
and TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order to
create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string
representing it in the MySQL format.
Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework for developers
using C++ or QML, a CSS/JavaScript-like language.
With Qt, code can be reused efficiently to target multiple platforms
with one code base. The modular C++ class library and developer tools
easily enables developers to create applications for one platform and
easily build and run to deploy on another platform.
This module understands the formats used by SQLite for its DATE, DATETIME, TIME,
and TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order to
create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string
representing it in the SQLite format.
Devel-Declare-Parser is a higher-level API sitting on top of
Devel::Declare. It is used by Devel::Declare::Exporter to simplify
exporting of Devel::Declare magic. Writing custom parsers usualy only
requires subclassing this module and overriding a couple methods.
The Devel::SmallProf profiler is focused on the time taken for a program
run on a line-by-line basis. It is intended to be as "small" in terms
of impact on the speed and memory usage of the profiled program as
possible and also in terms of being simple to use.
