Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix.
Using any browser that supports tables and forms, you can setup
user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on.
Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs
which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and
/etc/master.passwd.
Meld is a GNOME visual diff and merge tool. It integrates especially well
with CVS. The diff viewer lets you edit files in place (diffs update
dynamically), and a middle column shows detailed changes and allows merges.
The margins show location of changes for easy navigation, and it also
features a tabbed interface that allows you to open many diffs at once.
GasTeX is a set of LaTeX macros which allow to draw very easily
graphs, automata, nets, diagrams, etc... under the picture environment
of LaTeX. A picture with gastex basically consists of nodes and
edges. Here are a few examples of pictures that are easily defined
with gastex.
Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown
allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text
format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
Thus, "Markdown" is two things: a plain text markup syntax, and a
software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text markup to
HTML.
MetaUML is a GNU GPL MetaPost library for typesetting UML diagrams,

* Create jpeg-s, png-s etc.
This is a simple module which makes an unscientific effort at
summarizing English text. It recognizes simple patterns which look
like statements, abridges them, and concatenates them into something
vaguely resembling a summary. It needs more work on large bodies
of text, but it seems to have a decent effect on small inputs at
the moment.

then turns it into a PDF document or allows you to preview it
directly on screen.
FOP is part of Apache's XML project. The homepage of FOP is
This module provides a simple, correct way to increment a Perl module version
number. It does not attempt to guess what the original version number author
intended, it simply increments in the smallest possible fashion. Decimals are
incremented like an odometer. Dotted decimals are incremented piecewise and
presented in a standardized way.
XML::TreePP module parses XML file and expands it for a hash tree. And
also generate XML file from a hash tree. This is a pure Perl
