Sometimes you want to make sure that your "faster" algorithm really is faster than the old way. This lets you check. It might also be useful to check that your super whizzo XS or Inline::C version is actually faster. This module is based on the standard Benchmark module. If you have lots of timings to compare and you don't want to keep running the same benchmarks all the time, you can pass in a result object from Benchmark::timethis() instead of sub routine reference.

This package is a modified version of Doug Lea's malloc-2.8.3 implementation adapted for multiple threads, while trying to avoid lock contention as much as possible. As part of the GNU C library, the source files may be available under the GNU Library General Public License (see the comments in the files). But as part of this stand-alone package, the code is also available under the (probably less restrictive) conditions described in the file 'COPYRIGHT'. In any case, there is no warranty whatsoever for this package. This release was partly funded by Pixar Animation Studios.

The NMSG format is an efficient encoding of typed, structured data into payloads which are packed into containers which can be transmitted over the network or stored to disk. libnmsg is the reference implementation of this format and provides an extensible interface for creating and parsing messages in NMSG format. The NMSG format relies on Google Protocol Buffers to encode the payload header. Individual NMSG payloads are distinguished by assigned vendor ID and message type values and libnmsg provides a modular interface for registering handlers for specific message types. libnmsg makes it easy to build new message types using the protobuf-c compiler.

ClamSMTP is an SMTP filter that allows you to check for viruses using the ClamAV anti-virus software. It accepts SMTP connections and forwards the SMTP commands and responses to another SMTP server. The 'DATA' email body is intercepted and scanned before forwarding. ClamSMTP aims to be lightweight, reliable, and simple rather than have a myriad of options. It's written in C without major dependencies. If you need more options then you could use something big like AMaViS which is written in PERL and can do almost anything.

The Irrlicht Engine is an open source high performance realtime 3D engine written in C++. It is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL and its own software renderer, and has all of the state-of-the-art features which can be found in commercial 3d engines. It has a huge active community, and there are lots of games in development that use the engine. You can find enhancements for Irrlicht all over the web, like alternative terrain renderers, portal renderers, world layers, tutorials, editors, bindings for java, perl, ruby, python, and so on.

Devel::CheckLib provides a way of checking whether a particular library and its headers are available, by attempting to compile a simple program and link against it.

gphotofs is a FUSE filesystem module to mount your camera as a filesystem. This allow using your camera with any tool able to read from a mounted filesystem.

Q4M (Queue for MySQL) is a message queue licensed under GPL that works as a pluggable storage engine of MySQL 5.1, designed to be robust, fast, flexible. The development started in late December of 2007, and although it is very primitive, operates quite swiftly.

This is yet another Getopt related module. Getopt::Compact is geared towards compactly and yet quite powerfully describing an option syntax. Options can be parsed, returned as a hashref of values, and/or displayed as a usage string or within the script POD.
