Test::Script - Cross-platform basic tests for scripts The intent of this module is to provide a series of basic tests for scripts in the bin directory of your Perl distribution.

Test::Simple is an extremely simple, extremely basic module for writing tests suitable for CPAN modules and other pursuits. If you wish to do more complicated testing, use the Test::More module (a drop-in replacement for this one).

shhmsg - library for displaying messages. It contains C-functions for error messages, verbose messages and `normal' messages in terminal based programs.

shhopt - library for parsing command line options. It contains C-functions for parsing command line options, both traditional one-character options, and GNU'ish --long-options.

The main focus of the library is to work in packaging and unpackaging of data structures. While this implementation uses SMPP-3.4, the aim is to generate a simple way to implement any proprietary protocol on TCP.

libshbuf implements a new kind of IPC: the "shared buffer", a faster, more flexible replacement for standard Unix FIFOs. It offers the following advantages: - Normally better latency and throughput - Full access to the buffer at any time - Connecting processes need not to be children of each other - Arbitrary buffer lengths - Memory mapped - "Backlog" The implementation is based on SysV shared memory, semaphores and message queues. It makes use of POSIX pthreads.

The libstatgrab library provides an easy to use interface for accessing system statistics and information. Available statistics include CPU, Load, Memory, Swap, Disk I/O, and Network I/O. Also part of the package are two tools; saidar provides a curses-based interface to viewing live system statistics, and statgrab is a sysctl-like interface to the statistics.

The tecla library provides UNIX and LINUX programs with interactive command line editing facilities, similar to those of the Unix tcsh shell. In addition to simple command-line editing, it supports recall of previously entered command lines, TAB completion of file names or other tokens, and in-line wild-card expansion of file names. The internal functions which perform file-name completion and wild-card expansion are also available externally for optional use by programs, along with a module for tab-completion and lookup of file names in a list of directories. Note that special care has been taken to allow the use of this library in threaded programs. The option to enable this is discussed in the Makefile, and specific discussions of thread safety are presented in the included man pages.

This library allows easy processing of keyboard entry from terminal-based programs. It handles all the necessary logic to recognise special keys, UTF-8 combining, and so on, with a simple interface.
