A library that performs fast, accurate conversion between double precision floating point and text. This library is implemented as bindings to the C++ double-conversion library written by Florian Loitsch at Google: http://code.google.com/p/double-conversion/. The Text versions of these functions are about 30 times faster than the default show implementation for the Double type. The ByteString versions are slower than the Text versions; roughly half the speed. (This seems to be due to the cost of allocating ByteString values via malloc.) As a final note, be aware that the bytestring-show package is about 50% slower than simply using show.

highlight is a customizable source code highlighter. It supports a myriad of output formats, and an even greater myriad of recognized source code formats, and even supports themes. highlight can output to HTML, XHTML, RTF, LaTeX and TeX, and can markup many input formats, including: Ada 95, Agda, AMPL, Aspect, Assembler, Amtrix, Avenue, (G)AWK, Bash, BlitzBasic, BMS, C, C++, C#, ClearBasic, Clipper, COBOL, CSS, DOS-Batch, Eiffel, Euphoria, Express, Fortran, Haskell, HTML, HTTPD, IDL, INI, Jasmin, Java, JavaScript, LaTeX, LDIF, Lotus Script, Lua, Make, Maya, Matlab, Modelica, Modula 3, (Object) Pascal, Paradox, PATROL, Perl, PHP, Pike, PL/1, PL/SQL, POV Ray, Progress, Python, Rexx, Ruby, Small, Spin, Sybase, VHDL, Visual Basic, and XML.

This program converts line endings of text files between MS-DOS and **IX formats. It detects binary files in a nearly foolproof way and leaves them alone unless you override this. It will also leave files alone that are already in the right format and preserves file timestamps. User interrupts are handled gracefully and no garbage or corrupted files left behind. 'flip' does not convert files to a different character set, and it can not handle Apple Macintosh line endings (CR only). For that (and more), you can use the 'recode' program (package 'recode').

Msort sorts files in sophisticated ways. Records may be fixed size, newline-separated blocks, or terminated by any specified character. Key fields may be selected by position, tag, or character range. For each key, distinct exclusions, multigraphs, substitutions, and a sort order may be defined or locale collation rules used. Comparisons may be lexicographic, numeric, numeric string, hybrid, random, by string length, angle, date, time, month name, or ISO8601 timestamp. Keys may be reversed so as to generate reverse dictionaries. Optional keys are supported. Unicode is supported, including full case-folding. Msort itself has a somewhat complex command line interface, but may be driven by an optional GUI.

Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. Commercial license is also available for embedded use. Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or from an XML pipe. As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index.

This module takes a list of CSS files and concatenates them, making sure to honor any valid @import statements included in the files. Following the CSS 2.1 spec, @import statements must be the first rules in a CSS file. Media-specific @import statements will be honored by enclosing the included file in an @media rule. This has the side effect of actually improving compatibility in Internet Explorer, which ignores media-specific @import rules but understands @media rules. It is possible that feature versions will include methods to compact whitespace and other parts of the CSS itself, but this functionality is not supported at the current time.

KinoSearch is a loose port of the Java search engine library Apache Lucene, written in Perl and C. The archetypal application is website search, but it can be put to many different uses. KinoSearch1 is a fork of KinoSearch version 0.165 intended to provide stability and backwards compatibility. For the latest features, see the main branch. Features * Extremely fast and scalable - can handle millions of documents * Full support for 12 Indo-European languages. * Support for boolean operators AND, OR, and AND NOT; parenthetical groupings, and prepended +plus and -minus * Algorithmic selection of relevant excerpts and highlighting of search terms within excerpts * Highly customizable query and indexing APIs * Phrase matching * Stemming * Stoplists

File::Inplace is a Perl module intended to ease the common task of editing a file in-place. Inspired by variations of Perl's -i option, this module is intended for somewhat more structured and reusable editing than command line Perl typically allows. File::Inplace endeavors to guarantee file integrity; that is, either all of the changes made will be saved to the file, or none will. It also offers functionality such as backup creation, automatic field splitting per-line, automatic chomping/unchomping, and aborting edits partially through without affecting the original file.

This module provides a CodeGenerator for Petal that inherits almost everything from Petal::CodeGenerator but modifies how expressions are dealt with. Petal normally includes code like this $hash->get( "not:user" ) in the compiled template. This means the path has to be parsed and interpreted at runtime. Using Petal::CodePerl, Petal will now produce this ! ($hash->{"user"}) which will be much faster. It uses Parse::RecDescent to parse the PETALES expressions which makes it a bit slow to load the module but this won't matter much unless you have turned off caching. It won't matter at all for something like Apache's mod_perl.

Petal is a XML based templating engine that is able to process any kind of XML, XHTML and HTML. Petal borrows a lot of good ideas from the Zope Page Templates TAL specification, it is very well suited for the creation of WYSIWYG XHTML editable templates. The idea is to further enforce the separation of logic from presentation. With Petal, graphic designers can use their favorite WYSIWYG editor to easily edit templates without having to worry about the loops and ifs which happen behind the scene.
