This module provides a general-purpose clone function to make deep copies of Perl data structures. It calls itself recursively to copy nested hash, array, scalar and reference types, including tied variables and objects.

This module provides a Log::Any adapter to send log messages to screen, with colors and some other features.

DateTimeX::Easy uses a variety of DateTime::Format packages to create DateTime objects, with some custom tweaks to smooth out the rough edges (mainly concerning timezone detection and selection).

The Template Toolkit is a collection of modules which implement an extensible template processing system. It was originally designed and remains primarily useful for generating dynamic web content, but it can be used equally well for processing any other kind of text based documents: HTML, XML, POD, PostScript, LaTeX, and so on.

Crypt::MySQL emulates the MySQL PASSWORD() function. The module does not depend on an interface to the MySQL database server. This enables the comparison of encrypted passwords without the need for a real MySQL environment.

This package provides a Perl library that allows refreshing classes at runtime.

This module allows code attributes of methods to be introspected using Moose meta method objects.

Calling Perl's in-built system function is easy, determining if it was successful is hard. Let's face it, $? isn't the nicest variable in the world to play with, and even if you do check it, producing a well-formatted error string takes a lot of work.

IPC::System::Simple takes the hard work out of calling external commands.

Module::ScanDeps is a module to recursively scan Perl programs for dependencies.

This package contains a selection of subroutines that people have expressed would be nice to have in the perl core, but the usage would not really be high enough to warrant the use of a keyword, and the size so small such that being individual extensions would be wasteful.

ExtUtils::CppGuess attempts to guess the C++ compiler that is compatible with the C compiler used to build perl.

This module understands the formats used by PostgreSQL for its DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP, and INTERVAL data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order to create DateTime or DateTime::Duration objects, and it can take a DateTime or DateTime::Duration object and produce a string representing it in a format accepted by PostgreSQL.

Alien::SDL can be used to detect and get configuration settings from an installed SDL and related libraries. Based on your platform it offers the possibility to download and install prebuilt binaries or to build SDL & co.: from source codes.

String eval is often used for dynamic code generation. For instance, Moose uses it heavily, to generate inlined versions of accessors and constructors, which speeds code up at runtime by a significant amount. String eval is not without its issues however - it's difficult to control the scope it's used in (which determines which variables are in scope inside the eval), and it's easy to miss compilation errors, since eval catches them and sticks them in $@ instead. This module attempts to solve these problems. It provides an eval_closure function, which evals a string in a clean environment, other than a fixed list of specified variables. Compilation errors are rethrown automatically.

Multidimensional disables multidimensional array emulation.

This module implements an interface to the Linux 2.6.13 and later Inotify file change notification system.

This module provide a convenient way to create directories of arbitrary depth and to delete an entire directory subtree from the file system.

Perl::MinimumVersion takes Perl source code and calculates the minimum version of perl required to be able to run it. Because it is based on the PPI (Perl Parsing Interface), it can do this without loading the code. The distribution comes with a script called perlver.

Set::Infinite is a set theory module for infinite sets.

When an undefined variable is dereferenced, it gets silently upgraded to an array or hash reference (depending of the type of the dereferencing). This behaviour is called autovivification and usually does what you mean but it may be unnatural or surprising because your variables get populated behind your back. This is especially true when several levels of dereferencing are involved, in which case all levels are vivified up to the last, or when it happens in intuitively read-only constructs like exists. The pragma provided by this package lets you disable autovivification for some constructs and optionally throws a warning or an error when it would have happened.

The functions exported by this module allow you to open URLs in the user's browser. A set of known commands per OS-name is tested for presence, and the first one found is executed. With an optional parameter, all known commands are checked.

shell-quote lets you pass arbitrary strings through the shell so that they won't be changed.

This package provides event loop processing.

DateTime::Format::Builder creates DateTime parsers. Many string formats of dates and times are simple and just require a basic regular expression to extract the relevant information. Builder provides a simple way to do this without writing reams of structural code.
