This module provides a convenient way to perform cleanup or other forms of resource management at the end of a scope. It is particularly useful when dealing with exceptions: the Scope::Guard constructor takes a reference to a subroutine that is guaranteed to be called even if the thread of execution is aborted prematurely. This effectively allows lexically-scoped "promises" to be made that are automatically honoured by perl's garbage collector. For more info, see: http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/184403758

This module replaces the standard localtime and gmtime functions with implementations that return objects. It does so in a backwards compatible manner, so that using localtime/gmtime in the way documented in perlfunc will still return what you expect. The module actually implements most of an interface described by Larry Wall on the perl5-porters mailing list here: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2000-01/msg00241.html

The Xoltar Toolkit contains utility modules for Python, including functional programming support, lazy expressions and data structures, and thread pools. It includes support for closures, curried functions, lazy expressions, lazy tuples (functional programming languages call these lazy lists, but since lists are mutable in Python, tuples are closer in meaning), and lazy equivalents for map, filter, reduce, and zip. It also includes some higher-order functions for composing functions. See also: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-prog.html

Totd is a small DNS proxy nameserver that supports IPv6 only hosts/networks that communicate with the IPv4 world using some translation mechanism. Examples of such translation mechanisms currently in use are: * IPv6/IPv4 Network Address and Packet Translation (NAT-PT) implemented e.g. by Cisco. * Application level translators as the faithd implemented by the KAME project (http://www.kame.net). See faithd(8) on *BSD/Kame.

TECO is the grand old text editor. It is powerful and compact precursor to EMACS and has a completely nongraphical user interface. It is very fast (probably the fastes editor in the world) and have a macro language. TECO was written by Dan Murphy (http://www.opost.com/dlm) at Digital Equipment Corporation in 1962. This is based on Pete Siemsen's TECOC implementation, and comes with a copy of the originals DECUS TECO documentation.

Q4wine is an Qt4 (http://www.qtsoftware.com/) GUI for wine (http://winehq.org/). It will help you to manage wine prefixes and installed applications. General features: - Exports QT color theme into wine colors settings - Works with different wine versions at same time - Creates, deletes and manages prefixes (WINEPREFIX) - Easy controlling wine process - Autostart icons support - Easy CD image usage - Supports extraction of icons from PE files (.exe, .dll) - Easy backup and restore for managed prefixes - Winetricks support - More

The EDGE project is a programming project to develop a DOOM style engine aimed at the Total Conversion developer, but still able to play the original DOOM games. This project started with the DOOM source released by id software. Note that it currently does not support playing the original MIDI music, but supports OGG Vorbis audio files. For Total Conversions using Edge see: http://www.wadsinprogress.info/ For high resolution textures see: http://forums.yaa.dk/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=69

FTGL is a free open source library to enable developers to use arbitrary fonts in their OpenGL applications. Unlike other OpenGL font libraries FTGL uses standard font file formats so doesn't need a preprocessing step to convert the high quality font data into a lesser quality, proprietary format. FTGL uses the Freetype (www.freetype.org) font library to open and 'decode' the fonts. It then takes that output and stores it in a format most efficient for OpenGL rendering.

[ edited excerpt from www site ] GIMP plugin that creates a white (or black) border around an image that merges in with the image so that on a larger white (or black) background, the image appears to have a ragged border. This is similar to the GIMP's Fuzzy Border, but it adapts its jaggedness to the image. (Also unlike Fuzzy Border, it is deterministic, it does not depend on random number seeds.) The plugin can be found under "Filters > theilr > jagged Border"

[ edited version of author's www site ] This plugin losslessly decomposes a layer of an image into layers of wavelet scales. This means that you can edit the image on different detail scales (frequencies). The trivial recomposition of the image can be done by GIMP's layer modes so you can see the results of your modifications instantly. Among the applications are retouching, noise reduction, and enhancing global contrast. The plugin can be found under "Filters > Generic > Wavelet decompose"
