This is a short script you can run from within an existing git repository to create a remote repo on Github using a previously created account. This does not create Github accounts (and that violates the terms of service).

This module processes iCalendar (vCalendar 2.0) files as specified in RFC 2445 into a data structure. It handles recurrences ("RRULE"s), exclusions ("EXDATE"s), event updates (events with a "RECURRENCE-ID"), and nested data structures ("ATTENDEES" and "VALARM"s). It currently ignores the "VTIMEZONE", "VJOURNAL" and "VFREEBUSY" entry types.

Starting with Perl 5.10, it is possible to create a lexical version of the Perl default variable $_. Certain Perl constructs like the given keyword automatically use a lexical $_ rather than the global $_. It is occasionallly useful for a sub to be able to access its caller's $_ variable regardless of whether it was lexical or not. The (_) sub prototype is the official way to do so, however there are sometimes disadvantages to this; in particular it can only appear as the final required argument in a prototype, and there is no way of the sub differentiating between an explicitly passed argument and $_. The lexical::underscore function returns a scalar reference to either a lexical $_ variable somewhere up the call stack (using PadWalker magic), or to the global $_ if there was no lexical version. Wrapping lexical::underscore in ${ ... } dereferences the scalar reference, allowing you to access (and even assign to) it.

This module provides a quick, convenient way of bootstrapping a user-local Perl module library located within the user's home directory. It also constructs and prints out for the user the list of environment variables using the syntax appropriate for the user's current shell (as specified by the SHELL environment variable), suitable for directly adding to one's shell configuration file.

match::simple provides a simple match operator |M| that acts like a sane subset of the (as of Perl 5.18) deprecated smart match operator. Unlike smart match, the behaviour of the match is determined entirely by the operand on the right hand side.

mem is a trivial pragma to either allow defining the module it is included from as being defined so that later classes or packages in the same file can use the package to pull in a reference to it, or to be able to call its import routine from a different package in the same file. With parameter assignments or other actions, it forces those assignments to be done, immediately, at compile time instead of later at run time. It can be use, for example, with Exporter, to export typed-sub's among other usages.

Mixin inheritance is an alternative to the usual multiple-inheritance and solves the problem of knowing which parent will be called. It also solves a number of tricky problems like diamond inheritance. The idea is to solve the same sets of problems which MI solves without the problems of MI.

Often during unit testing, you may find the need to use mocked libraries to test edge cases, or prevent unit tests from using slow or external code.

Perl's multidimensional array emulation stems from the days before the language had references, but these days it mostly serves to bite you when you typo a hash slice by using the $ sigil instead of @. This module lexically makes using multidimensional array emulation a fatal error at compile time.
