DT PS Tree shows running processes as a tree. It is a reimplementation of
pstree from PSmisc for FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, and possibly
other modern BSD variants. It also works without /proc and will show the full
set of processes in a jail even if init is not present.
Xtestpicture creates a full-screen picture that is intended to help
you adjusting your monitor, resembling the usual TV test pictures.
The picture consists of some geometrical elements, like two crossing
diagonals, a circle, a couple of recatangles. In the center, there's
a rectangle filled with vertical lines, to prove sharpness and video
bandwidth, and a color area to adjust the color saturation and contrast.
That's about all there is to be, doesn't sound very impressive, right?
Simply click a mouse button to get rid of it again.

Given a line from a crontab, tells you the time at which cron will
next run the line, or when the last event occurred, relative to any
date you choose. The object keeps that reference date internally,
and updates it when you call nextEvent() or previousEvent() - such
that successive calls will give you a sequence of events going
forward, or backwards, in time.
Use setCounterToNow() to reset this reference time to the current
date on your system, or use setCounterToDate() to set the reference
to any arbitrary time, or resetCounter() to take the object back
to the date you constructed it with.
This module uses Set::Crontab to understand the date specification,
so we should be able to handle all forms of cron entries.
DBConnect (Database Connect) API is an easy to use C++ object API to allow
applications to connect to databases. Your DB applications can now become
cross platform and cross databased.
The API currently implements MySQL, Oracle8 and PostGreSQL drivers in the
Unix environments and MySQL, Oracle8 and ODBC in the Windows environment.
PidgiMPD is a Pidgin plugin for monitoring/controlling MPD.
PidgiMPD can do both automatic and manual tasks.
The manual tasks are handled via the command /mpc in conversation windows.
Help about that command can be found using the parameter help.
The automatic tasks are:
* Automatically set away message to user defined string OR set Pidgin TUNE
status, if available. (TUNE status is supported in MSNP14 and Jabber)
* Automatically send currently playing song information to users in
active conversations.
The syntax of the messages can be user configured.
This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file
descriptor to another process, using a (streaming) Unix domain socket
(on POSIX systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems). The
ability to pass file descriptors on windows is currently the unique
selling point of this module. Have I mentioned that it is really
small, too?
Test::CPAN::Meta::YAML was written to ensure that a META.yml file, provided with
a standard distribution uploaded to CPAN, meets the specifications that slowly
being introduced to module uploads, via the use of ExtUtils::MakeMaker,
Module::Build and Module::Install.
See CPAN::Meta for further details of the CPAN Meta Specification.
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. Currently built-in data sources
support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or from
an XML pipe.
As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as
SQL Phrase Index.
TagZilla is an add-on to Mozilla that lets you add a tagline, random or
specifically chosen by you, to the end of an email or newsgroup posting,
or to the clipboard for pasting into a Web-based email or message board.
What is a tagline?
A tagline is a one-line joke, witticism, factoid, what have you. It can
be about any subject (although it's good to ensure it's appropriate to
the forum in question). The random quotes that can be found at the end
of web pages like Slashdot or the MozDev home page could be considered
taglines.
The Mmap module lets you use mmap to map in a file as a Perl variable
rather than reading the file into dynamically allocated memory.
The advantage of this is that several processes may share one copy of
the file or string, saving memory, and concurrently making changes to
portions of the file or string. When not used with a file, it is an
alternative to SysV shared memory that places no arbitrary size limits
on the shared memory area, and efficiently handles sparse memory usage.
