These are the perl modules I've written over the years. Some unpublished, others published. Many are buggy, some are not.
The formatting is a little sloppy due to the highly automated way the content is published.
I had originally posted this project on perlmonks, where I was encouraged (privately) to post the code as a module on CPAN. I never hesitate to post on CPAN. File: CPAN-CachingProxy-1.0.0.tar.gz Man Page: CPAN::CachingProxy module. Last updated on Thu May 8 09:16:49 EDT 2008
I wanted something that worked like CGI.pm but for RSS. Sadly, nobody completed anything like that before me, so I have attempted to construct it. I know precious little about the format, but I think this is a reasonable attempt. Here it is: CGI-RSS-0.7.1.tar.gz, CGI::RSS. Last updated on Sat Mar 22 12:02:35 EDT 2008
The gentoo /sbin/functions.sh suite is really nice for shell scripts. I wanted some of that functionality for perl. Here it is: Term-GentooFunctions-1.01.4.tar.gz, Term::GentooFunctions. Last updated on Sun Mar 2 18:38:22 EST 2008
I was particularly thrilled with Jamis Buck's Dungeon Generator, but I wanted to design something a little more flexible that allowed for export and generation plugins. Although images aren't the only focus of the module, screenshots sell everything, so I provided one. But I have also provided an XSLT sample. It's quite tittlating imo. File: Games-RolePlay-MapGen-1.0.3.tar.gz Man Page: Games::RolePlaying::MapGen module. Last updated on Fri Feb 22 09:11:19 EST 2008
I needed to find all the refs blessed under PackageName. I was told that can't be done, but with XS, you can pretty much do anything you want. I don't think this is very efficient, but I only needed it for debugging. Here it is: Devel-FindBlessedRefs-1.0.2.tar.gz Read it: Devel::FindBlessedRefs. Last updated on Tue Jan 15 10:20:44 EST 2008
Math::Units did almost what I wanted. I really wanted something like Math::Calc::Units -- which felt unfinished, and hadn't been updated for years. This (Math-Units-PhysicalValue-0.71.tar.gz) is something I wrote for dividing things like "6,500 ft" and "43 s" and getting "103.16 miles/hour". This module uses Math::Units and Math::Algebra::Symbols to do all it's magic. Really, PhysicalValue is just a collection of clever operator overloads. Check out the man page: Math::Units::PhysicalValue module. Last updated on Mon Nov 5 07:36:30 EST 2007
This (MySQL-Easy-2.0.1.tar.gz) is something I've been using over and over. I don't remember how I used to live without it. I had quit publishing this on CPAN for a while, but I decided to put it back after soneome asked about it. I have gotten grief about the namespace previously, but moving it into DBIx didn't work out. Check out the man page: MySQL::Easy module. Last updated on Tue Aug 14 09:09:34 EDT 2007
I didn't write this. I fetched the CPAN version and the requirements failed to mention Test::Pod::Coverage. The tests didn't pass. And I was just generally POed about it. So I repackaged it and uploaded it to my website. I won't be releasing this version on CPAN or anything. I probably won't even mention it to the author. File: Crypt-Cracklib-1.1.jet.tar.gz Man Page: Crypt::Cracklib. Last updated on Thu Jul 19 09:15:26 EDT 2007
Games::Go::SGF2misc is yet another SGF reader (Games-Go-SGF2misc-0.9.8.tar.gz). This one spews forth the SGF in several formats. as_perl(), as_hash(), as_png(), etc... It is designed to work without the help or need for the infamous sgf2misc by J. Van Der Steen (http://gobase.org/software/sgf2misc/). And also without the perfectly acceptable Games::Go::SGF.
Ben Lynn's PBC library is really fun: http://crypto.stanford.edu/pbc/. But I'm a perl nerd at heart, so I ported it to perl. He's actively working on his library, so I expect to have to update this module relatively regularly. File: Crypt-PBC-0.7.20.0-0.4.9.tar.gz Man Page: Crypt::PBC. Last updated on Mon Mar 26 07:08:00 EDT 2007
This (MySQL-Easy-1.34.tar.gz) is something I've been using over and over. I don't remember how I used to live without it. So, I give it to you. Don't use it if you don't like it! :) This namespace has been discontinued. It is still available under the name DBIx::Easy::MySQL. Check out the man page: MySQL::Easy module.

I wanted POSIX regexs in perl. It's not the first time I've wanted them. So I cranked 'em out. Teh Filez: POSIX-Regex-0.89.tar.gz Teh Manpage: Check out the man page: POSIX::Regex. Last updated on Fri Aug 18 16:46:10 EDT 2006
Essentially, I wanted a set of perl native packages that would do very basic statistics. That package (Statistics-Basic-0.42.tar.gz) is called Statistics::Basic. It contains things like ::Mean, ::StdDev, ::CoVariance, etc. Last updated on Wed Jan 25 17:24:32 EST 2006
This exports a send_mail() function into your local namespace.
The package: Net-SMTP-OneLiner-1.2.0.tar.gz The Manpage: Net::SMTP::OneLiner
This (Net-IdentServer-0.56.tar.gz) is something I wrote for validating DSL users from behind a masq firewall. Long story. Check out the man page: Net::IdentServer module. Last updated on Sat May 7 14:06:41 EDT 2005
I used this for some calculations in my work trying to crack the stock market. I'd reall like to find a way to win that game. Anyway, this calculates the Exponential moving average for you. The Math::Business::EMA module (Math-Business-EMA-1.08.tar.gz). Last updated on Mon Jun 7 14:11:10 EDT 2004.
AI::GAUL is just a simple XS wrapper for the most excellent GAUL C lib. It is not done yet. Snag it here: AI-GAUL-0.0.7.tar.gz Last Modified: Wed May 5 09:09:53 EDT 2004
The Text::SpellCheck module (Text-SpellCheck-0.56.tar.gz) is just something I wanted for my giving 60 site. I never did get around to installing it though.
Last updated: Tue Apr 13 07:29:01 EDT 2004
This (Backup-UBU-0.2.86.tar.gz) is the API and backend support for a secure and simple distributed backup system. It's in the infant stage and really deserves no more description at this time. Check out the man page: Backup::UBU module. Last updated on Sat Apr 3 12:54:17 EST 2004
Nichus and I wrote this one for our network monitoring scripts. It turns 7654321 seconds into 12w4d14h12m1s. The Date::Lima module (Date::Lima v1.2 (tar.gz)).
I needed a way to get info about a process. I wanted it to work under BSD and Linux. Check out the man page: Unix::Process module (Unix-Process-1.1.1.tar.gz).
This cute little module makes dockapps.
File: Wharf-JDockApp-1.2.1.tar.gz
Man: Wharf::JDockApp
This (FoxPro-DBF-0.16.tar.gz) is something I've been meaning to make for quite a while. The FoxPro::DBF module. This first step lets you read foxpro data from any platform (with perl). Clearly this module needs a new name. This module doesn't work with DBI because DBI is too sql-centric; though, that is an end goal, I just don't see how I can get this module to work with DBI.

I used this for some calculations in my work trying to crack the stock market. I'd reall like to find a way to win that game. Anyway, this calculates the Exponential moving average for you. The Math::Business::SMA module (Math-Business-SMA-0.99.tar.gz). Last updated on Thu Dec 5 14:33:55 EST 2002.
I used this for some calculations in my work trying to crack the stock market. I'd reall like to find a way to win that game. Anyway, this calculates the Exponential moving average for you.

I have to use Card Service International at work ... This made their API bareable. The Business::CSI module (Business-CSI-0.81.1.tar.gz). Last updated on Mon Jul 30 20:50:47 EDT 2001.
This doesn't work yet. It will (in the future) load up glorious mysql client menus and things. :) MySQL::GUI module (MySQL-GUI-0.35.tar.gz). Last updated on Thu Jan 17 11:50:50 EST 2002
