This module was written because I stumbled on some serious issues of Readonly that aren't easily fixable without breaking backwards compatibility in subtle ways. In particular Readonly's use of ties is a source of subtle bugs and bad performance. Instead, this module uses the builtin readonly feature of perl, making access to the variables just as fast as any normal variable without the weird side-effects of ties. Readonly can do the same for scalars when Readonly::XS is installed, but chooses not to do so in the most common case.

Perl6 Capture objects

Context::Preserve - run code after a subroutine call, preserving the context the subroutine would have seen if it were the last statement in the caller.

Contextual::Return - Create context-sensitive return values.

Curses::Application is designed to provide a flexible framework for rapid application development of Curses-based console applications in Perl. Based on Curses::Widgets and Curses::Forms, Curses::Application provides a flexible OO framework to manage forms, widgets, and dialogs, without (hopefully) ever having to deal directly with Curses calls.

Data::Diver provides the Dive() and DiveVal() functions for ad-hoc access to elements of deeply nested data structures, and the DiveRef(), DiveError(), DiveClear(), and DiveDie() support functions.

Curses::Forms is designed to provide high level APIs for rapid user interface design on the console in Perl. Based on Curses::Widgets, Curses::Forms provide a flexible OO framework to manage a collection of widgets on forms and dialogs. While intended to be used in the Curses::Application framework, it can also be used alone with Curses::Widgets for quick and dirty interfaces.

Curses::UI - A curses based OO user interface framework

This module provides a single function called dump() that takes a list of values as its argument and produces a string as its result. The string contains Perl code that, when evaled, produces a deep copy of the original arguments. The string is formatted for easy reading. If dump() is called in a void context, then the dump is printed on STDERR instead of being returned. If you don't like importing a function that overrides Perl's not-so-useful builtin, then you can also import the same function as pp(), mnemonic for "pretty-print".

This module provides a standard library of functions and widgets for use in creating Curses-based interfaces. Should work reliably with both Curses and nCurses libraries.
