NAME

Acme::CPANModules::PERLANCAR::Retired - Retired modules

VERSION

This document describes version 0.009 of Acme::CPANModules::PERLANCAR::Retired (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModulesBundle-PERLANCAR), released on 2021-11-09.

DESCRIPTION

This is a list of some of the modules which I wrote but have now been retired and purged from CPAN, for various reasons but mostly because they are no longer necessary. I've purged/retired more modules than these (mostly failed experiments) but they are not worth mentioning here because nobody else seems to have used them.

Note that you can always get these retired modules from BackPAN or GitHub (I don't purge most of the repos) if needed.

ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES

• Data::Schema

  I wrote Data::Sah which superseded this module since 2012.

  Alternate modules: Data::Sah

• Carp::Always::Dump

  This module is like Carp::Always, but dumps complex arguments instead of just printing ARRAY(0x22f8160) or something like that.

  Superseded by Devel::Confess, which can do color (Carp::Always::Color), dumps (Carp::Always::Dump), as well as a few other tricks, all in a single package.

  Alternate modules: Devel::Confess

• Passwd::Unix::Alt

  I first wrote Passwd::Unix::Alt (a fork of Passwd::Unix) to support shadow passwd/group files, but later abandoned this fork due to a couple of fundamental issues and later wrote a clean-slate attempt Unix::Passwd::File.

  Alternate modules: Unix::Passwd::File

• Module::List::WithPath - Like Module::List, but set hash values with paths

  Author: PERLANCAR

  Superseded by PERLANCAR::Module::List.

  Alternate modules: PERLANCAR::Module::List

• App::CreateSparseFile - Create sparse file

  Author: PERLANCAR

  I didn't know about the fallocate command.

• Log::Any::App - An easy way to use Log::Any in applications

  Author: PERLANCAR

  I've written Log::ger::App to be its successor.

  Alternate modules: Log::ger::App

• Package::MoreUtil - Package-related utilities

  Author: PERLANCAR

  I didn't know about Package::Stash, which does things more properly and performantly. But I've spun routines not yet covered by Package::Stash to Package::Util::Lite.

  Alternate modules: Package::Stash, Package::Util::Lite

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
