Simple Sequences You can create a sequence from an outline. Type something like this: At Home.Wash Car Garage.retrieve bucket Kitchen.prepare bucket Kitchen.pour soap in bucket Kitchen.fill bucket Garage.get sponge Garage.open door Driveway.apply soapy water Driveway.empty bucket Garage.close door Garage.replace bucket Then do this: genericseq.pl UML::Sequence::SimpleSeq inputfile | seq2svg.pl > output.svg

From the README: WordNet::QueryData provides a direct interface to the WordNet database files. It requires the WordNet package (http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/). It allows the user direct access to the full WordNet semantic lexicon. All parts of speech are supported and access is generally very efficient because the index and morphical exclusion tables are loaded at initialization. This initialization step is slow (appx. 10-15 seconds), but queries are very fast thereafter---thousands of queries can be completed every second.

The ultimate quest of this module is to produce from non-XML text text, that will will most probably pass throught any XML parser one could find. Basic cleaning is just XML tag matching (for every opening tag there will be closing tag as well, and they will form a tree structure). When you add some extra parameters, you will receive complete XML text, including XML head and root element (if none were defined in text, then some will be added).

XML-DBMS is middleware for transferring data between XML documents and relational databases. It views the XML document as a tree of data-specific objects in which element types are generally viewed as classes and attributes and PCDATA as properties of those classes. It then uses an object-relational mapping to map these objects to the database. An XML-based mapping language is used to define the view and map it to the database.

This module is a fast XSLT library, based on the Gnome libxslt engine that you can find at http://www.xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ Performance is currently about twice that of XML::Sablotron (based on XSLTMark tests converted to Perl). The libxslt processor is also highly standards compliant, with practically all of XSLT 1.0 being supported in version 0.9 of libxslt. This is free software, you may use it and distribute it under the same terms as Perl itself. Copyright 2001 AxKit.com Ltd, All rights reserved.

This module provides a Perl interface to the libsyck data serialization library. It exports the Dump and Load functions for converting Perl data structures to YAML strings, and the other way around. It also provides an implementation of JSON parsing and generation. Because JSON is YAML (http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/yamlIsJson.html), using libsyck gives you the fastest and most memory efficient parser and dumper for JSON data representation.

[ excerpt from developer's website ] XMLTV is a set of programs to process TV (tvguide) listings and manage your TV viewing. It stores the listings in an XML-based format. The idea is to separate out the backend (getting the listings) from the frontend (displaying them for the user), and to implement useful operations like picking out your favourite programmes as filters that read and write XML documents.

PEAR class for generating Excel spreadsheets. It was born as a port of the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel Perl module to PHP. It allows writing of Excel spreadsheets without the need for COM objects. It supports formulas, images (BMP) and all kinds of formatting for text and cells. It currently supports the BIFF5 format (Excel 5.0), so functionality appeared in the latest Excel versions is not yet available.

Organization of data in table form is a time-honored and useful method of data representation. While columns of data are trivially generated by computer through formatted output, even simple tasks like keeping titles aligned with the data columns are not trivial, and the one-shot solutions one comes up with tend to be particularly hard to maintain. Text::Table allows you to create and maintain tables that adapt to alignment requirements as you use them.

deplate is a ruby based tool for converting documents written in wiki-like markup to LaTeX, HTML, "HTML slides", or docbook. It supports page templates, embedded LaTeX code, footnotes, citations, bibliographies, automatic generation of an index, table of contents etc. It can be used to create web pages and (via LaTeX or Docbook) high-quality printouts from the same source. In this respect it is similar to tools like remoteaft or remotetxt2tags.
