Tk is a great graphical toolkit to write desktop applications. However, one can get bothered with the constant typing of quotes and options. Tk::Sugar provides handy subs for common options used when programming Tk. Benefits are obvious: * Reduced ty...

When Perl programs are run in a GUI environment, it is often desirable to have them run with no console attached. Unfortunately, this causes any warnings or errors to be lost. Worse, fatal errors can cause your program to silently disappear, forcing ...

Tk::DateEntry is a drop down widget for selecting dates. It looks like the BrowseEntry widget with an Entry followed by an arrow button, but instead of displaying a Listbox the DateEntry displays a calendar with buttons for each date. The calendar co...

Imager::Screenshot captures either a desktop or a specified window and returns the result as an Imager image. Currently the image is always returned as a 24-bit image. screenshot hwnd => *window handle* screenshot hwnd => *window handle*, decor => <c...

This module is for mirroring a remote location to a local directory via FTP. For example websites, documentations or developmentstuff which ones were uploaded or changed in the net. Local files will be overwritten, also in case they are newer. It is ...

This class implements an asynchronous perl wrapper around the "libtermkey" library, which provides an abstract way to read keypress events in terminal-based programs. It yields structures that describe keys, rather than simply returning raw bytes as ...

Tk's text widget doesn't support the 'readonly' state, nor does Tk have a separate read-only text widget. This means that Tkx -- being a thin wrapper around Tcl/Tk -- doesn't either. Instead of providing a text widget that is always read-only (like P...

This widget fills the display with a screensaver-like animation, makes a global grab and then waits for the user's authentication string, usually their password. Until the password is entered the display cannot be used: window manager commands are ig...

"Algorithm::Evolutionary" is a set of classes for doing object-oriented evolutionary computation in Perl. Why would anyone want to do that escapes my knowledge, but, in fact, we have found it quite useful for our own purposes. Same as Perl itself. Th...

Creates molecular cloning PCR primer pairs for a given gene so that the gene can be directionally inserted into a vector. Solver is generic, restriction enzymes and their order in the vector are specified in the caller....

This section describes the common behaviour of the three public start methods. Special behaviour of a specific start method is described in section "METHODS". In general module Games::Sudoku::Preset works in 4 steps: * Purify (convert to a string of ...

This is a pure Perl implementation of the error function (a.k.a. the Gauss error function). It gives an approximation with a maximum absolute difference of 0.0005 from the real value. Functions This module can export two functions. Neither is exporte...

With this pure perl module you can use the mpv media player through the JSON IPC interface (see <https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#json-ipc>). This is useful to integrate mpv in a foreign event loop, especially to interact with GUI toolkits. The module g...

Create a table of thumbnail images, having a default size of 32 x 32 pixels. Once we have a Photo of an image, shrink it by copying a subsample of the original to a blank Photo. Images smaller than the thumbnail dimensions are enlarged by zooiming. C...

A "job" is a collection of processes which can be controlled as a single unit. For example, you can reliably kill a process and all of its children by launching the process in a job, then telling Windows to kill all processes in the job. There is ano...

A Lib::Module object describes a Perl library module and includes the module's package name, file name, version, and superclasses, if any. The module objects are normally part of a class hierarchy generated by libdirs (), module_paths (), and scanlib...

Algorithm::QuadTree implements a quadtree algorithm (QTA) in pure Perl. Essentially, a *QTA* is used to access a particular area of a map very quickly. This is especially useful in finding objects enclosed in a given region, or in detecting intersect...

Simple code to make a Tk::Photo object from an Imager image. This works by: 1. write the image data to a scalar in PNG format 2. Base64 decode the data 3. read() it into the photo object, supplying the Base64 encoded data to the "-data" parameter....

Tk::JBrowseEntry is a derived widget from Tk::BrowseEntry, but adds numerous features and options. Among them are hash lists (one set of values is displayed for the user, but another is used as data), ability to disable either the text entry widget o...
