Perl sscanf() can be used very much like the C stdio sscanf(), for detailed sscanf() documentation please refer to your usual documentation resources. The supported formats are: [diuoxefgsc] and the character class []. Seamus Venasse <svenasse@polaris.ca>

This module exports two functions, nsort and ncmp; they are used in implementing my idea of a "natural sorting" algorithm. Under natural sorting, numeric substrings are compared numerically, and other word-characters are compared lexically. This is the way I define natural sorting: * Non-numeric word-character substrings are sorted lexically, case-insensitively: "Foo" comes between "fish" and "fowl". * Numeric substrings are sorted numerically: "100" comes after "20", not before. * \W substrings (neither words-characters nor digits) are ignored. Our use * of \w, \d, \D, and \W is locale-sensitive: Sort::Naturally uses a use locale statement. * When comparing two strings, where a numeric substring in one place is not up against a numeric substring in another, the non-numeric always comes first. This is fudged by reading pretending that the lack of a number substring has the value -1, like so: * The start of a string is exceptional: leading non-\W (non-word, non-digit) components are ignored, and numbers come before letters. * I define "numeric substring" just as sequences matching m/\d+/ -- scientific notation, commas, decimals, etc., are not seen. If your data has thousands separators in numbers ("20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" or "20.000 lieues sous les mers"), consider stripping them before feeding them to nsort or ncmp.

String::Util provides a collection of small, handy utilities for processing strings.

This script splits up a unified diff into separate patch files, each of which patches one source file.

DocBook SGML DTD.

docbook-utils contains scripts for easy conversion from DocBook SGML files to other formats (for example, HTML, RTF, and PostScript), and for comparing SGML files.

DocBook XML DTD.

The Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML module can be used to create an Excel file in XML format. The Excel XML format is supported in Excel 2002 and 2003. Multiple worksheets can be added to a workbook and formatting can be applied to cells. Text, numbers, and formulas can be written to the cells. The module supports strings up to 32,767 characters and the strings can be in UTF8 format. Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML uses the same interface as Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. This module cannot, as yet, be used to write to an existing Excel XML file.

These are XSL stylesheets for the DocBook DTD and its derivatives (Simplified DocBook, etc.).

A meta-port for the DocBook DTD. This port depends upon the docbook-* ports, to ensure that they are installed correctly.
