This module is about the string part of plain Perl scalars. A scalar has a string value, which is notionally a sequence of Unicode codepoints, but may be internally encoded in either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. In places, and more so in older versions of Perl, the internal encoding shows through. To fully understand Perl strings it is necessary to understand these implementation details. This module provides functions to classify a string by encoding and to encode a string in a desired way. This module is implemented in XS, with a pure Perl backup version for systems that can't handle XS.

The Specio distribution provides classes for representing type constraints and coercion, along with syntax sugar for declaring them. Note that this is not a proper type system for Perl. Nothing in this distribution will magically make the Perl interpreter start checking a value's type on assignment to a variable. In fact, there's no built-in way to apply a type to a variable at all. Instead, you can explicitly check a value against a type, and optionally coerce values to that type. The author's long-term goal is to replace Moose's built-in types and MooseX::Types with this module.

Twisted is an asynchronous networking framework written in python. It is used by most of the servers, clients and protocols that are part of other Twisted projects. - twisted.cred, a pluggable authentication system for servers; - twisted.enterprise, an asynchronous adapter of Python DB-API 2.0 database interfaces; - twisted.internet, the Twisted event loop; - twisted.manhole, a debugging service; - twisted.persisted, a collection of object persistence systems - twisted.protocols, a collection of simple network protocols and helper utilities; - twisted.python, a set of Twisted programming abstractions; - twisted.spread, a network transport, serializer and object broker; - twisted.trial, a unit-testing framework; and

"SilentBob" is a tool to help a programmer/team manager to digest and comprehend either a simple program or a big source code tree based on the source code by presenting the code in a searcheable and tagged way. It helps to speed up the learning curve and to make it more convenient to get hands on a code from somebody, or also is convenient to browse your own projects. It includes functionality from such tools as: ctags, cscope and ctree, but it is faster than any of them, and is offering the features in one package. In some way it can be viewed as a superset of ctags, cscope and ctree.

Twisted Names is both a domain name server as well as a client resolver library. Twisted Names comes with an "out of the box" nameserver which can read most BIND-syntax zone files as well as a simple Python-based configuration format. Twisted Names can act as an authoritative server, perform zone transfers from a master to act as a secondary, act as a caching nameserver, or any combination of these. Twisted Names' client resolver library provides functions to query for all commonly used record types as well as a replacement for the blocking gethostbyname() function provided by the Python stdlib socket module. Twisted Names is available under the MIT Free Software licence.

LBreakout is a classical Breakout game and this means (if you like Breakout ;-) it is a lot of fun to play! If you never ever played such a game you can check out the manual for more information and last but not least... play it! This is a list of LBreakout's features: Sound HighScore A menu with mouse support Mouse or keyboard can be used for playing Controls can be redefined Mouse can be kept in window while playing Your starting level can be chosen A difficulty can be selected (easy, medium, hard) Various backgrounds A lot of collectable extras Nice graphics Cool effects Own levels can be created

An expedition to another solar system was supposed to be the biggest event in mankind's history. While it achieved such glory, it also caused a corrupt Admrial to gain new territory. You are part of a small rebel force. Your task is to keep Admrial Moretti's forces at bay, until the Earth Space Forces can send a rescue team. Solar Conquest is a 2D action game that takes place in space. You pilot a fighter and fight alongside dozens of allies. Battles can range from just a dozen a team, or up to all out war with hundreds of ships per team.

GLE is a graphics language that produces PostScript, EPS, PDF, PNG, or JPG ouput from a simple script file. GLE is a full featured scripting language that includes variables, subroutines, logic control, looping, a graphing tool, and more to produce high quality output. It has a full range of facilities for producing publication-quality graphs, diagrams, posters and slides. GLE provides LaTeX quality fonts together with a flexible graphics module, which allows the user to specify any feature of a graph (down to the line width of the subticks, for example).

Netpbm is a toolkit for conversion of images between a variety of different formats, as well as to allow a few basic image operations. Netpbm is based on the widely spread Pbmplus package (release: 10 Dec 91). On top of that, a lot of improvements and additions have been made. After the latest release of Pbmplus, a lot of additional filters have been circulating on the net. The aim of Netpbm was, to collect these and to turn them into a package. This work has been performed by a group of programmers all over the world.

The Vowpal Wabbit (VW) project is a fast out-of-core learning system sponsored by Microsoft Research and (previously) Yahoo! Research. There are two ways to have a fast learning algorithm: (a) start with a slow algorithm and speed it up, or (b) build an intrinsically fast learning algorithm. This project is about approach (b), and it's reached a state where it may be useful to others as a platform for research and experimentation. There are several optimization algorithms available with the baseline being sparse gradient descent (GD) on a loss function (several are available).
