The goal of OOPS is to make perl objects easily and transparently persistent. OOPS handles deeply nested and cross-linked objects -- even object hierarchies that are too large to fit in memory and (with a hint) individual hash tables that are too lar...

A simple, stable, fast, and flexible way to use conventional Perl 5 classes in scripts, rapid prototypes, and full-scale applications. This reference document covers syntax only. See the following for more: classesoop Introductory primer of concepts,...

Plugins provides a simple way for a programs to be assembled at runtime via configuration files. Generally, there are only a few ways that a module in a library can be customized for an application: (1) You can change the code of the module; (2) if i...

IO::Event provides a object-based callback system for handling nonblocking IO. The design goal is to provide a system that just does the right thing w/o the user needing to think about it much. All APIs are kept as simple as possible yet at the same ...

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. The clone() function takes a ...

Ipfwgen is designed to make writing complex firewalls easier and safer. It handles generating some of the harder rulesets: anti-spoofing, anti-looping, and anti land-attack. Ipfwgen does not try to reduce the complexity of firewall building. What it ...

Net::Netmask parses and understands IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR blocks (see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing> for more information on CIDR blocks). It's built with an object-oriented interface, with functions being methods that op...

Cisco::Reconfig makes it easier to write programs to generate changes to Cisco configuration files. Cisco::Reconfig is a module that parses Cisco router configuration files. It doesn't have any real understanding of Cisco configurations so it might b...

Daemon::Generic provides a framework for starting, stopping, reconfiguring daemon-like programs. The framework provides for standard commands that work for as init.d files and as apachectl-like commands. Programs that use Daemon::Generic subclass Dae...

This module provides a flexible base class for building objects with cloning capabilities. This module does it's best to respect the encapsulation of all other objects, including subclasses of itself. This is intended to be a stricter and more OO-ish...

A Date::Easy::Datetime object contains a Time::Piece object and provides a slightly different UI to access it. In typical usage, you will either use the "datetime" constructor to convert a human-readable string to a datetime, or the "now" function to...

"Text::Wrap::wrap()" is a very simple paragraph formatter. It formats a single paragraph at a time by breaking lines at word boundaries. Indentation is controlled for the first line ($initial_tab) and all subsequent lines ($subsequent_tab) independen...

Getopt::Tiny is yet another argument parsing module. The results of the argument parsing are stored by using references that were provided to getopt(). Usage information is automatically generated. Getopt::Tiny expects all arguments to be switches --...

Callback provides a standard interface to register callbacks. Those callbacks can be either purely functional (i.e. a function call with arguments) or object-oriented (a method call on an object). When a callback is constructed, a base set of argumen...

Lock files using the flock() call. If the file to be locked does not exist, then the file is created. If the file was created then it will be removed when it is unlocked assuming it's still an empty file. Locks can be created by new'ing a File::Flock...

This module recognizes the above date/time formats. Usually a date and a time are specified. There are numerous options for controlling what is recognized and what is not. The return code is always the time in seconds since January 1st, 1970 or undef...
