This package contains a simple library for use by programs needing to
handle papers. It lets program automatically recognize a lot of
different papers with their properties (actually their size).

Maxima is a full symbolic computation program. It is full featured
doing symbolic manipulation of polynomials, matrices, rational
functions, integration, Todd-coxeter, graphing, bigfloats. It has a
symbolic debugger source level debugger for maxima code. Maxima is
based on the original Macsyma developed at MIT in the 1970's. It is
quite reliable, and has good garbage collection, and no memory leaks.
It comes with hundreds of self tests.

Nagios is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your
network. It has the ability to email or page you when a problem arises
and when a problem is resolved. Nagios is written in C and is designed
to run under Linux (and some other *NIX variants) as a background
process, intermittently running checks on various services that you
specify.

The actual service checks are performed by separate "plugin" programs
which return the status of the checks to Nagios. The plugins are
available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug

This package provides core programs for Nagios. The web interface,
documentation, and development files are built as separate packages

Check if physical interfaces are plugged in, and warns when one link is dead.

This check plugin is a Perl script which compares your local signature database
(daily.cvd) version to the version advertised from the ClamAV site. It verifies
the latest ClamAV revision using a DNS TXT query against
current.cvd.clamav.net.

A perl script that checks all local NFS mounts by forking itself and trying to
chdir to it and (optionally) writing to a file. It includes performance data
and allows warnings based on thresholds.

Checks rsync servers availability, as well as (optionally) individual
modules availability. It also supports authentication on modules.

Usage: check_rsync -H [-p ] [-m [,,] [-m [,,]...]]

The only required argument is -H, in which case it will only try to
list modules on the Rsync server.

This plugin checks for software updates on systems that use package
management systems based on the zypper command found in openSUSE.

It checks for security, recommended and optional patches and also for
optional package updates.

You can define the status by patch category. Use a commata to list more
than one category to a state.

If you like to know the names of available patches and packages, use
the "-v" option.

Newt is a programming library for color text-mode, widget-based user
interfaces. Newt can be used to add stacked windows, entry widgets,
checkboxes, radio buttons, labels, plain text fields, scrollbars, etc.,
to text mode user interfaces.

This package also contains a Dialog replacement called whiptail. Newt
is based on the slang library.

Perl extension to generate and test check digits

aliased is simple in concept but is a rather handy module. It loads the class
you specify and exports into your namespace a subroutine that returns the class
name. You can explicitly alias the class to another name or, if you prefer, you
can do so implicitly. In the latter case, the name of the subroutine is the
last part of the class name.

This module is useful if you prefer a shorter name for a class. It's also handy
if a class has been renamed.

Though we recommend that people generally use the Moose manpage, we accept
that Moose cannot yet be used for everything everywhere. People generally
like the Moose sugar, so many people use the Mouse manpage, a lightweight
replacement for parts of Moose.

Because Mouse strives for compatibility with Moose, it's easy to substitute
one for the other. This module facilitates that substitution. By default,
Mouse will be provided to libraries, unless Moose is already loaded -or-
explicitly requested by the end-user. The end-user can force the decision
of which backend to use by setting the environment variable 'ANY_MOOSE' to
be 'Moose' or 'Mouse'.

Note that the decision of which backend to use is made only once, so that
if Any-Moose picks Mouse, then a third-party library loads Moose, anything
else that uses Any-Moose will continue to pick Mouse.

So, if you have to use the Mouse manpage, please be considerate to the
Moose fanboys (like myself!) and use the Any-Moose manpage instead. ':)'

This modules handles International Standard Book Numbers, including ISBN-10
and ISBN-13.

This data is current as of the date in the module version. At that time,
the publisher codes 9990000-9999999 or 999000-999999 had not been fixed,
although they had been proposed. I do not include them in the data. Some
regions, including India (93), Gabon (99902), and Congo (99951) have
country codes but no publisher codes. They still have entries even though
you won't be able to validate any ISBNs assigned in those regions.

Business::ISBN uses this "data pack" to do its work. You can update
Business::ISBN::Data independently of the main module as the various
ISBN organizations assign new publisher codes. The ISBN agency lists
these data at http://www.isbn-international.org/converter/ranges.htm .

CGI::Simple provides a relatively lightweight drop in replacement for
CGI.pm. It shares an identical OO interface to CGI.pm for parameter
parsing, file upload, cookie handling and header generation. This module is
entirely object oriented, however a complete functional interface is
available by using the CGI::Simple::Standard module.

Essentially everything in CGI.pm that relates to the CGI (not HTML) side of
things is available. There are even a few new methods and additions to old
ones! If you are interested in what has gone on under the hood see the
Compatibility with CGI.pm section at the end.

In practical testing this module loads and runs about twice as fast as
CGI.pm depending on the precise task.

The Class::Adapter class is intended as an abstract base class for creating
any sort of class or object that follows the Adapter pattern.

This module exports a method that is useful for factory classes.

Method modifiers are a powerful feature from the CLOS (Common Lisp Object
System) world.

'Class::Method::Modifiers::Fast' provides three modifiers: 'before',
'around', and 'after'. 'before' and 'after' are run just before and after
the method they modify, but can not really affect that original method.
'around' is run in place of the original method, with a hook to easily call
that original method. See the 'MODIFIERS' section for more details on how
the particular modifiers work.

Class::ReturnValue is a "clever" return value object that can allow code
calling your routine to expect: a boolean value (did it fail) or a list
(what are the return values)

Reading and writing configuration files is one of the most frequent tasks of
any software design. Config::Simple is the library that helps you with it.

Config::Simple is a class representing configuration file object. It supports
several configuration file syntax and tries to identify the file syntax
automatically. Library supports parsing, updating and creating configuration
files.

BinHex is a format used by Macintosh for transporting Mac files safely through
electronic mail, as short-lined, 7-bit, semi-compressed data streams. This
module provides a means of converting those data streams back into binary
data.

This module provides utility functions for data and data types, including
functions for subroutines and symbol table hashes (stashes).

The implementation of this module is both Pure Perl and XS, so if you have
a C compiler, all the functions this module provides are really faster.

There are many benchmarks in the _DIST-DIR/benchmark/_ directory.

An implementation of the Mayan Long Count, Haab, and Tzolkin calendars as
defined in "Calendrical Calculations The Millennium Edition". Supplemented by
"Frequently Asked Questions about Calendars".

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.

Builder provides a number of methods, most of which you'll never need, or at
least rarely need. They're provided more for exposing of the module's innards
to any subclasses, or for when you need to do something slightly beyond what I
expected.

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