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.
Scalar::Does has long been noted that Perl would benefit from a does() built-in.
A check that ref($thing) eq 'ARRAY' doesn't allow you to accept an object that
uses overloading to provide an array-like interface.
This module lets you defer actions at run-time that will take place when
the control flow returns into an upper scope. Currently, you can:
* hook an upper scope end with "reap" ;
* localize variables, array/hash values or deletions of elements in
higher contexts with respectively "localize", "localize_elem" and
"localize_delete" ;
* return values immediately to an upper level with "unwind", and know
which context was in use then with "want_at".
Term::Encoding is a simple module to detect an encoding the current terminal
expects, in various ways.
Sentinel provides a single lvalue function, sentinel, which yields a scalar that
invoke callbacks to get or set its value. Primarily this is useful to create
lvalue object accessors or other functions, to invoke actual code when a new
value is set, rather than simply updating a scalar variable.
Sepia is a set of features to make Emacs a better tool for Perl
development. This package contains the Perl side of the
implementation, including all user-serviceable parts (for the
cross-referencing facility see Sepia::Xref).
Set::Array allows you to create arrays as objects and use OO-style
methods on them. Many convenient methods are provided here that appear
in the FAQ's, the Perl Cookbook or posts from comp.lang.perl.misc. In
addition, there are Set methods with corresponding (overloaded)
operators for the purpose of Set comparison, i.e. +, ==, etc.
Consistent hashing is a scheme that provides hash table functionality
in a way that the addition or removal of one slot does not
significantly change the mapping of keys to slots. In contrast, in
most traditional hash tables, a change in the number of array slots
causes nearly all keys to be remapped.
Consistent hashing was introduced in 1997 as a way of distributing
requests among a changing population of web servers. More recently, it
and similar techniques have been employed in distributed hash tables.
Create a list by taking one item from each array, and do that for all
possible ways that can be done, so that the first item in the list is
always from the first array, the second item from the second array, and
so on.
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.
