From the safecat README:
safecat is an implementation of D. J. Bernstein's maildir algorithm.
It can be used to write mail messages to a qmail-style maildir, or to
write data to a "spool" directory reliably. There are no lockfiles with
safecat, and nothing is left to chance. If safecat returns a successful
exit status, then you can be (practically) 100% sure your data is
safely committed to disk. Further, if data is written to a directory
using safecat (or other implementations of the maildir algorithm),
then every file in that directory is guaranteed to be complete. If
safecat fails to write all of the data, there will be no file at all
in the destination directory.
Of course, you know that such a thing cannot be: between UNIX and
the different hardware options available, a 100% guarantee is not
possible. However, safecat takes every precaution possible in writing
your data.
Bomstrip is a very simple tool that removes BOM's (byte-order-marks)
from utf-8 files. Actually, it is a set of tools that all do the same
thing, but - for added entertainment value - in multiple programming
languages (python, c, java, brainfuck, ook!, perl, sed, postscript,
pascal, unlambda, limbo, haskell, ocaml, php, ruby). You want to always
have this tool within hand-reach, no matter where you are and which
compilers/interpreters you keep close to you.
Each tool reads from stdin and writes to stdout. It accepts no options
or arguments. It never writes into files directly. All files are public
domain. It exists for the purpose of noting how stupid BOM's in utf-8
files are.
Oh, in case you didn't know yet: utf-8 does not have byte-ordering
issues, so there is absolutely no need to have three bytes (the
utf-8-BOM) that do not say anything about the byte-order (since there
is nothing to say).
One module layer over regex-tdfa to replace Text.Regex. regex-compat
can't use Unicode characters correctly because of using regex-posix.
Artha is a free cross-platform English thesaurus that works completely
off-line and is based on WordNet. Stable releases for download are
currently available for GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows; it is tested
on major Desktop Environments like GNOME, KDE, Xfce, etc and on Microsoft
Windows XP, Vista and 7. Artha is released under the GNU General Public
Licence version 2; hence you are free to copy/redistribute it.
PEAR class for generating Excel spreadsheets. It was born as a port of the
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel Perl module to PHP. It allows writing of Excel
spreadsheets without the need for COM objects. It supports formulas, images
(BMP) and all kinds of formatting for text and cells. It currently supports
the BIFF5 format (Excel 5.0), so functionality appeared in the latest Excel
versions is not yet available.
