INTRO ===== I needed a basic text-mode GUI framework to implement some nice-looking proggies on Linux. Didn't find any around, so necessity became the mother of PerlVision. And this beast kept growing as I made love to Perl, so now it's far from 'basic'. Provides 90% of the features you'd want for a user interface, including check boxes, radio buttons, three different styles (!) of pushbuttons, single and multiple selection list boxes, an extensible edit box that does auto-wrapping, a scrollable viewbox, single line text entry fields, a menu bar with pulldown menus, and full pop-up dialog boxes with multiple controls. This version of PerlVision uses Will Setzer's Curses.pm dynaload module for Perl, so you need to get and compile that first, from ftp://ftp.ncsu.edu/pub/math/wsetzer/cursperl<whatever>. PerlVision will only work with Perl 5+ of-course (upgrade || die()!).

PadWalker is a module which allows you to inspect (and even change!) lexical variables in any subroutine which called you. It will only show those variables which are in scope at the point of the call.

This module is intended for use in operations that can be done in parallel where the number of processes to be forked off should be limited. Typical use is a downloader which will be retrieving hundreds/thousands of files.

This is a collection of .pl files that have historically been bundled with the Perl core but are planned not to be so distributed with core version 5.15 or later.

PerlIO::Util provides general PerlIO utilities: utility layers and utility methods. Utility layers are a part of PerlIO::Util, but you don't need to say use PerlIO::Util for loading them. They will be automatically loaded.

Parse::Method::Signatures is a Perl6 like method signature parser inspired by Perl6::Signature but streamlined to just support the subset deemed useful for TryCatch and MooseX::Method::Signatures.

The Parse::Lex.pm module for perl5 is an object-oriented generator of lexical analyzers. This distribution includes Parse::YYLex (written by Vladimir Alexiev) a lexer generator that you can use with yacc parsers.

exprotobuf works by building module/struct definitions from a Google Protocol Buffer schema. This allows you to work with protocol buffers natively in Elixir, with easy decoding/encoding for transport across the wire.

This module lets you parallelise a perl program using the fork, exit, wait and waitpid calls as usual but without taking care of creating too many processes and overloading the machine.

This module attempts to provide a small, fast utility for working with file paths. It is friendlier to use than File::Spec and provides easy access to functions from several other core file handling modules.
