This perl module will eval another perl script and return a hash ref
of the final values of the global variables in the eval. This allows
you to write generic config files in Perl.
The Parse::Template class evaluates Perl expressions placed within
a text. This class can be used as a code generator, or a generator
of documents in various document formats (HTML, XML, RTF, etc.).
Parse::Template was initially created to serve as a code generator
for the Parse::Lex class. The class is now available as a separate
module.
PatchReader is a set of utilities for reading in, transforming, and doing
various other things with a patch. It basically allows you to create a chain of
readers that can read a patch, remove files from a patch, add CVS context, fix
up the patch root according to CVS, and output the patch as raw unified or
through a template processor (used in some places to output a patch as HTML).
If you need nonblocking access to an external program, or want to execute some
blocking code in a separate process, but you don't want to write a wrapper
module or some POE::Wheel::Run boilerplate code, then POE::Quickie can help.
You just specify what you're interested in (stdout, stderr, and/or exit code),
and POE::Quickie will handle the rest in a sensible way.
It has some convenience features, such as killing processes after a timeout,
and storing process-specific context information which will be delivered with
every event.
There is also an even lazier API which suspends the execution of your event
handler and gives control back to POE while your task is running, the same
way LWP::UserAgent::POE does.
This is provided by the quickie_* functions which are exported by default.
POE::Stage is a proposed base class for POE components. Its purpose is
to standardize the most common design patterns that have arisen through
years of POE::Component development.
POE is a general purpose multitasking and networking framework.
POE does standard event loop things, cooperative multitasking, network
clients and servers; includes a high level class library that takes care
of event driven I/O; provides a framework for portable program components.
This modules exports the needed subtypes, and coercions for POEx
modules and is based on Sub::Exporter, so see that module for options
on importing.
Perl interface to strptime(3).
This program turns ordinary perl scripts into long running daemons, making
subsequent executions extremely fast. It forks several processes for each
script, allowing many processes to call the script at once.
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()!).
