ljdump reads the journal entries from a LiveJournal (or compatible) blog site and archives them in a subdirectory named after the journal name. Both the journal entries and journal comments are downloaded, which makes ljdump a great backup tool for creating offline copy of your journal. The program may be run as often as needed to bring the backup copy up to date. Both new and updated items are downloaded. ljdump uses only standard Python libraries, so it will work wherever Python itself does (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, etc).

'mkapachepw' is an Apache user/group management package with a rich set of features: - automatically create apache users/groups from underlying os users/groups - break large, complex user & group data into separately managed files - specify which particular users/groups are to be included or excluded - catch (and prevent) redefinition of user/groups 'mkapachepw' is a pure-Python application and should run on any Unix system that support Python 2.4 or later. 'mkapachepw' is free for individual, non-commerical, personal use. Use in any setting where there is any remuneration, direct or indirect, requires payment of a licensing fee. Individual, multiple, and enterprise licensing is available. Contact mkapachepw@tundraware.com for current pricing.

PHProxy is a web HTTP (for now; FTP is not supprted yet) proxy programmed in PHP designed to bypass firewalls and other proxy restrictions through a web interface very similar to the popular CGIProxy. The server that this script runs on simply acts as a medium that retrives resources for you. The only IP address shown will be the server's IP address. So basically, it is indirect browsing. The only catch being that the server has to has access to those otherwise inaccessible resources.

If your Catalyst project logs many messages, logging via standard error to Apache's error log is not very clean: The log messages are mixed with other web applications' noise; and especially if you use mod_fastcgi, every line will be prepended with a long prefix. An alternative is logging to a file. But then you have to make sure that multiple processes won't corrupt the log file. The module Log::Handler by Jonny Schulz does exactly this, because it supports message-wise flocking. This module is a wrapper for said Log::Handler.

Mason is a powerful Perl-based templating system, designed to generate dynamic content of all kinds. Unlike many templating systems, Mason does not attempt to invent an alternate, "easier" syntax for templates. It provides a set of syntax and features specific to template creation, but underneath it is still clearly and proudly recognizable as Perl. Mason is most often used for generating web pages. It has a companion web framework, Poet, designed to take maximum advantage of its routing and content generation features. It can also be used as the templating layer for web frameworks such as Catalyst and Dancer.

Arora is a simple cross platform web browser. Currently Arora is a very basic browser whose feature list includes things like "History" and "Bookmarks". It does not have support for netscape plugins, so no flash support until Qt 4.5. But it is small, less than 10,000 lines of code, very fast, lean, mean and loads of fun to hack on. Arora and QtWebKit is developed to be cross-platform using the Qt library. It was originally created as a demo for Qt to help test the QtWebKit component and find API issues and bugs before the release.

This module is the Perl interface to the SWF Charts flash graphing tool. It constructs the XML file this flash movie requires via an OO interface. Each configurable option that is listed on the SWF Charts reference page has a companion method in this module. When using this module, please be sure to use the latest version of the XML/SWF Charts flash movie. Earlier versions of that flash movie supported a different XML structure for which this module is not backward compatible. Note that there are a few extra helper functions that this module provides.

The WWW::Mechanize::GZip module tries to fetch a URL by requesting gzip-compression from the webserver. If the response contains a header with 'Content-Encoding: gzip', it decompresses the response in order to get the original (uncompressed) content. This module will help to reduce bandwith fetching webpages, if supported by the webeserver. If the webserver does not support gzip-compression, no decompression will be made. This modules is a direct subclass of WWW::Mechanize and will therefore support any methods provided by WWW::Mechanize.

Smarty is a template engine for PHP. Many other template engines for PHP provide basic variable substitution and dynamic block functionality. Smarty takes a step further to be a "smart" template engine, adding features such as configuration files, template functions, and variable modifiers, and making all of this functionality as easy as possible to use for both programmers and template designers. Smarty also converts the templates into PHP scripts, eliminating the need to parse the templates on every invocation. This makes Smarty extremely scalable and managable for large application needs.
