Simple eyecandy ASCII tables, as seen in Catalyst.
This is yet another library for template-based text generation.
Template-based text generation is a way to separate program code and
data, so non-programmer can control final result (like HTML) as desired
without tweaking the program code itself. By doing so, jobs like website
maintenance is much easier because you can leave program code unchanged
even if page redesign was needed.
The idea is simple. Whenever a block of text surrounded by '<%' and '%>'
(or any pair of delimiters you specify) is found, it will be taken as
Perl expression, and will be replaced by its evaluated result.
Major goal of this library is simplicity and speed. While there're many
modules for template processing, this module has near raw Perl-code
(i.e., "s|xxx|xxx|ge") speed, while providing simple-to-use objective
interface.

Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in
English. The goal is for names with the same pronunciation to be encoded to the
same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in
spelling. Soundex is the most widely known of all phonetic algorithms and is
often used (incorrectly) as a synonym for "phonetic algorithm". Improvements to
Soundex are the basis for many modern phonetic algorithms. (Wikipedia, 2007)
Text::Soundex implements the original soundex algorithm developed by Robert
Russell and Margaret Odell, patented in 1918 and 1922, as well as a variation
called "American Soundex" used for US census data, and current maintained by the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
The soundex algorithm may be recognized from Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer
Programming. The algorithm described by Knuth is the NARA algorithm.
This implements a spell checker to Text::SpellChecker
using ZConf::GUI.

The Text::Striphigh module exports a single function: C<striphigh>. This
function takes one argument, a string possibly containing high ASCII
characters in the ISO-8859-1 character set, and transforms this into a
string containing only 7 bits ASCII characters, by substituting every
high bit character with a similar looking standard ASCII character, or
with a sequence of standard ASCII characters.
Because of precisely the deficiency this package tries to offer a workaround
for is present in some of the things that process pod, there are no
examples in this manpage. Look at the source or the test script if you
want examples.

This module is built on Text::Aspell, but adds some of the
functionality provided by the internal gnu aspell API. This allows
one to deal with blocks of text, rather than just words. For
instance, we provide methods for iterating through the text,
serializing the object (thus remembering where we left off), and
highlighting the current misspelled word within the text.
Text::Wrap::wrap() is a very simple paragraph formatter. It formats a single
paragraph at a time by breaking lines at word boundaries. Indentation is
controlled for the first line ($initial_tab) and all subsequent lines
($subsequent_tab) independently.
This is a later version (from CPAN) than the one that comes with the base
system's perl 5.00503.
Text::TabularDisplay simplifies displaying textual data in a table.
The output is identical to the columnar display of query results
in the mysql text monitor.
Parses "folksonomies", which are simple space-separated-but-optionally- quoted
tag lists. See Text::Tags::Parser for the actual module; Text::Tags may be used
in a future version of the distribution.
