Git::Version::Compare contains a selection of subroutines that make dealing with
Git-related things (like versions) a little bit easier.
The strings to compare can be version numbers, tags from git.git or the output
of git version or git describe.
These routines collect the knowledge about Git versions that was accumulated
while developing Git::Repository.
Git::Wrapper provides an API for git(7) that uses Perl data
structures for argument passing, instead of CLI-style --options as
Git does.
Glib::Object::Introspection uses the gobject-introspection and libffi projects
to dynamically create Perl bindings for a wide variety of libraries. Examples
include gtk+, webkit, libsoup and many more.
RE2 is a fast, safe, thread-friendly alternative to backtracking regular
expression engines like those used in PCRE, Perl, and Python.
It is a C++ library.
RE2 uses automata theory to guarantee that regular expression searches run in
time linear in the size of the input. RE2 implements memory limits, so that
searches can be constrained to a fixed amount of memory. RE2 is engineered to
use a small fixed C++ stack footprint no matter what inputs or regular
expressions it must process; thus RE2 is useful in multithreaded environments
where thread stacks cannot grow arbitrarily large.
This module provides perl access to Glib and GLib's GObject libraries.
GLib is a portability and utility library; GObject provides a generic
type system with inheritance and a powerful signal system. Together
these libraries are used as the foundation for many of the libraries
that make up the Gnome environment, and are used in many unrelated
projects.
This wrapper attempts to provide a perlish interface while remaining
as true as possible to the underlying C API, so that any reference
materials you can find on using GLib may still apply to using the
libraries from perl. Where GLib's functionality overlaps perl's,
perl's is favored; for example, you will find perl lists and arrays in
place of GSList or GList objects. Some concepts have been eliminated;
you need never worry about reference-counting on GObjects or GBoxed
structures. Other concepts have been converted to a perlish analogy;
the GType id will never be seen in perl, as the package name serves
that purpose. [FIXME link to a document describing this stuff in detail.]
IO::HTML provides an easy way to open a file containing HTML while
automatically determining its encoding. It uses the HTML5 encoding
sniffing algorithm specified in section 8.2.2.1 of the draft standard.
This module allows you to use the GConf configuration system in order
to store/retrieve the configuration of an application. The GConf
system is a powerful configuration manager based on a user daemon that
handles a set of key and value pairs, and notifies any changes of the
value to every program that monitors those keys. GConf is used by
GNOME 2.x.
Perl interface to the GooCanvas
IO::KQueue - perl interface to the BSD kqueue system call.
his module provides an implementation of Google Checkout. It
allows you to checkout, send commands, wait and process notifications.
