gnome-user-share is a small package that binds together various free software projects to bring easy to use user-level file sharing to the masses. The program is meant to run in the background when the user is logged in, and when file sharing is enabled a webdav server is started that shares the $HOME/Public folder. The share is then published to all computers on the local network using mDNS/bonjour, so that it shows up in the Network location in Gnome. -- gnome-user-share README

IMDbPY is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb movie database. IMDbPY aims to provide an easy way to access the IMDb's database using a Python script. Platform-independent and written in pure Python, it's theoretically independent from the data source (since IMDb provides two or three different interfaces to their database). IMDbPY is mainly intended for programmers and developers who want to build their Python programs using the IMDbPY package, but some example scripts - useful for simple users - are included.

Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. Commercial license is also available for embedded use. Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages.

As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index.

Kwiki is perhaps the simplest, most modular and easy to extend wiki. A wiki allows users to freely create and edit web pages in any web browser. Kwiki is Open Source Software and is available on CPAN. The overall design goal of CGI::Kwiki is simplicity and extensibility. Even so, Kwiki will have some killer built in features not available in most wikis: * KwikiSlideShow * KwikiBlog * KwikiSisters * KwikiHotKeys * KwikiFit * KwikiPod * KwikiPrivacy Each feature is implemented as a separate plugin class. This keeps things simple and extensible.

This module has been written to provide a simple and secure manner by which to handle files uploaded in multipart/form-data requests through a web browser. The primary advantage which this module offers over existing modules is the single interface which it provides for the most often required information regarding files uploaded in this manner. This module builds upon primarily the CGI and File::MMagic modules and offers some tidy and succinct methods for the handling of files uploaded via multipart/form-data requests.

"CGI::Session" is Perl5 library that provides an easy persistent session management system across HTTP requests. Session persistence is a very important issue in web applications. Shopping carts, user-recognition features, login and authentication methods and etc. all require persistent session management mechanism, which is both secure and reliable. "CGI::Session" provides with just that. You can read the whole documentation as a tutorial on session management. But if you are already familiar with "CGI::Session" go to the methods section for the list of all the methods available.

HTML::TagParser is a pure Perl implementaion for parsing HTML files. This module provides some methods like DOM. This module is not strict about XHTML format because many of HTML pages are not strict. You know, many pages use <br> elemtents instead of <br/> and have <p> elements which are not closed. This module natively understands a character set of document by reading its meta element. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS"> The parsed document's encoding is converted as this class's fixed internal encoding "UTF-8".

HTTPD-User-Manage is set of Perl modules for managing access control with the Apache, NCSA httpd, CERN and Netscape servers (and maybe some others). You can install this program as a CGI script to allow remote users to change their Web access passwords. Web administrators can use it to remotely add, edit and delete users and their groups. You can also use it from the command line as a nice all-in-one interface to access control databases based on text files, DBM files, and SQL databases.
