WebInject is a free tool for automated testing of web applications and web
services. It can be used to test individual system components that have HTTP
interfaces (JSP, ASP, CGI, PHP, Servlets, HTML Forms, XML/SOAP Web Services,
etc), and can be used as a test harness to create a suite of [HTTP level]
automated functional, acceptance, and regression tests. A test harness, also
referred to as a test driver or a test framework, allows you to run many
test cases and collect/report your results. WebInject offers real-time
results display and may also be used for monitoring system response times.
WebInject can be used as a complete test framework that is controlled by the
WebInject User Interface (GUI). Optionally, it can be used as a standalone
test runner (text/console application) which can be integrated and called
from other test frameworks or applications.
The Bioperl Project is an international association of developers of open
source Perl tools for bioinformatics, genomics and life science research.
Bioperl is a collection of object-oriented Perl modules created by the
Bioperl Project. It forms the basis of a large number of bioinformatics and
genomics applications.
(For an interesting aside on "How Perl saved the Human Genome Project", see
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/How_Perl_saved_human_genome)
What is it?
-----------
NAnt is a .NET-based build tool. In theory it is kind of like make without
make's wrinkles. In practice it's a lot like Ant.
If you are not familiar with Jakarta Ant, you can get more information at the
Ant project web site (http://ant.apache.org/).
Why NAnt?
---------
Because Ant was too Java-specific.
Because Ant needed the Java runtime. NAnt only needs the .NET or Mono runtime.

Tcllib is a collection of utility modules for Tcl. The intent is to
collect commonly used function into a single library, which users can
rely on to be available and stable.
There are too many modules now to list here. Browse the on-line
documentation at
http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/
to get the idea.
This port installs pure-Tcl versions of the modules only.
C-implementations -- for some of the modules -- can be added by
installing devel/tcllibc port.
