The POI project consists of APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format using pure Java. In short, you can read and write MS Excel files using Java. Soon, you'll be able to read and write Word files using Java. POI is your Java Excel solution as well as your Word Excel solution. However, we have a complete API for porting other OLE 2 Compound Document formats and welcome others to participate.

Artha is a free cross-platform English thesaurus that works completely off-line and is based on WordNet. Stable releases for download are currently available for GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows; it is tested on major Desktop Environments like GNOME, KDE, Xfce, etc and on Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and 7. Artha is released under the GNU General Public Licence version 2; hence you are free to copy/redistribute it.

This provides a simple interface to Plucene. Plucene is large and multi- featured, and it expected that users will subclass it, and tie all the pieces together to suit their own needs. Plucene::Simple is, therefore, just one way to use Plucene. It's not expected that it will do exactly what *you* want, but you can always use it as an example of how to build your own interface.

Set of modules: * Pod::Parser - base class for creating POD filters and translators * Pod::Select - extract selected sections of POD from input * Pod::Usage - print a usage message from embedded pod documentation * Pod::PlainText - convert POD data to formatted ASCII text * Pod::InputObjects - objects representing POD input paragraphs, commands, etc. * Pod::Checker - check pod documents for syntax errors * Pod::ParseUtils - helpers for POD parsing and conversion * Pod::Find - find POD documents in directory trees

Regexp::Copy allows you to copy the contents of one Regexp object to another. A problem that I have found with the qr// operator is that the Regexp objects that it creates are is impossible to dereference. This causes problems if you want to change the data in the regexp without losing the reference to it. Its impossible. Regexp::Copy allows you to change the Regexp by copying one object created through qr// to another.

KDiff3 is a program that: * compares or merges two or three text input files or directories, * shows the differences line by line and character by character (!), * provides an automatic merge-facility and * an integrated editor for comfortable solving of merge-conflicts, * supports KIO on KDE (allows accessing ftp, sftp, fish, smb etc.), * Printing of differences, * Manual alignment of lines, * Automatic merging of version control history (cvs Log keyword), * and has an intuitive graphical user interface.

String::Strip is an XS extension that implements four white space removal routines: StripSpace (remove all white space), StripLSpace (strip leading white space), StripTSpace (strip trailing white space), and StripLTSpace (strip leading and trailing white space). All four of these routines work directly on the input argument, rather than passing back a result. The routines tend to be roughly 30% faster than equivalent function regex code. -Anton <tobez@FreeBSD.org>

Text::Capitalize provides a few different flavors of procedures for title-like formatting for strings. For the "capitalize" function Title-like (written by Stanislaw Y. Pusep) formatting consists of ensuring that the first letter of each word is uppercase, and that the rest is lowercase. The "capitalize_title" function tries to get closer to English title capitalization rules where only the "important" words are supposed to be capitalized. There are also some customization features provided to allow the user to choose variant rules.

This version of Crimson supports the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) version 1.1 specification by providing implementations for the following package hierarchies: javax.xml.parsers, org.w3c.dom, org.xml.sax.*. Note that the javax.xml.transform hierarchy is NOT supported. One known implementation of the javax.xml.transform hierarchy is Xalan 2, which is available as a separate port in java/xalan. More info about JAXP: Crimson home page:

This is an XS wrapper around some Unicode Consortium code to check if a string is valid UTF-8, revised to conform to what expat/Mozilla think is valid UTF-8, especially with regard to low-ASCII characters. Note that this module has NOTHING to do with Perl's internal UTF8 flag on scalars. This module is for use when you're getting input from users and want to make sure it's valid UTF-8 before continuing.
