OSSP l2 is a C library providing a very flexible and sophisticated Unix logging
facility. It is based on the model of arbitrary number of channels, stacked
together in a top-down data flow tree structure with filtering channels in
internal nodes and output channels on the leave nodes.
Quite often, when dealing with dates, we don't just want to know
information about one particular date, but about a range of dates. For
example, we may wish to know whether a given date is in a particular
range, or what the overlap is between one range and another. This module
lets you ask such questions.
JQuery is a frontend for the jQuery language. I use JQuery to refer to the Perl
part or the package, and jQuery to reference the javascript part or the package.
A quote from http://jquery.com: jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library
that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform
animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages.
This perl routine will take a prompt, a default response and a list
of possible responses and deal with the user interface, (and the
user!), by displaying the prompt, showing the default, and checking
to be sure that the response is one of the legal choices.
Test::Bits provides a single subroutine, bits_is(), for testing binary data.
This module is quite similar to Test::BinaryData and Test::HexString in concept.
The difference is that this module shows failure diagnostics in a different way,
and has a slightly different calling style. Depending on the nature of the data
you're working with, this module may be easier to work with.
Diazo implements a Deliverance like language using a pure XSLT engine. With
Diazo, you "compile" your theme and ruleset in one step, then use a superfast/
simple transform on each request thereafter. Alternatively, compile your theme
during development, check it into Subversion, and not touch Diazo during
deployment.
hgsubversion is an extension for Mercurial that allows using Mercurial
as a Subversion client.
At this point, hgsubversion is usable by users reasonably familiar with
Mercurial as a VCS. It's not recommended to dive into hgsubversion as an
introduction to Mercurial, since hgsubversion "bends the rules" a little
and violates some of the typical assumptions of early Mercurial users.
CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath
all of those embarrassing braces and semicolons, JavaScript has always had a
gorgeous object model at its heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the
good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.
File::ShareDir::Install allows you to install read-only data files from a
distribution. It is a companion module to File::ShareDir, which allows you to
locate these files after installation.
It is a port Module::Install::Share to ExtUtils::MakeMaker with the improvement
of only installing the files you want; .svn and other source-control junk will
be ignored.
A resolver library used to communicate with a name server to perform DNS
queries, zone transfers, dynamic DNS updates, etc.
Creates an object hierarchy from a DNS server response, which allows you to
view all of the information given by the DNS server. It bypasses the system
resolver library and communicates directly with the server.
