This package contains GCC shared support library which is needed e.g. for exception handling support.
The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. These APIs include such foundational facilities as open, read, write, malloc, printf, getaddrinfo, dlopen, pthread_create, crypt, login, exit and more.
A tool to find your home and other directories on any platform
File::HomeDir is a module for locating the directories that are "owned" by a user (typically your user) and to solve the various issues that arise trying to find them consistently across a wide variety of platforms.
This package is the shared library for perl.
The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because they act like die() or warn(), but with a message which is more likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case of cluck, confess, and longmess that context is a summary of every call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use carp or croak which report the error as being from where your module was called. There is no guarantee that that is where the error was, but it is a good educated guess.
Groff (GNU troff) is a typesetting system that reads plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted output. Output may be PostScript or PDF, html, or ASCII/UTF8 for display at the terminal. Formatting commands may be either low-level typesetting requests (“primitives”) or macros from a supplied set. Users may also write their own macros. All three may be combined.
Return name and handle of a temporary file safely
File::Temp can be used to create and open temporary files in a safe way. There is both a function interface and an object-oriented interface. The File::Temp constructor or the tempfile() function can be used to return the name and the open file handle of a temporary file. The tempdir() function can be used to create a temporary directory. The security aspect of temporary file creation is emphasized such that a filehandle and filename are returned together. This helps guarantee that a race condition can not occur where the temporary file is created by another process between checking for the existence of the file and its opening. Additional security levels are provided to check, for example, that the sticky bit is set on world writable directories. See "safe_level" for more information. For compatibility with popular C library functions, Perl implementations of the mkstemp() family of functions are provided. These are, mkstemp(), mkstemps(), mkdtemp() and mktemp(). Additionally, implementations of the standard POSIX tmpnam() and tmpfile() functions are provided if required. Implementations of mktemp(), tmpnam(), and tempnam() are provided, but should be used with caution since they return only a filename that was valid when function was called, so cannot guarantee that the file will not exist by the time the caller opens the filename. Filehandles returned by these functions support the seekable methods.
Extended processing of command line options
Module Getopt::Long implements an extended getopt function called GetOptions(). This function implements the POSIX standard for command line options, with GNU extensions, while still capable of handling the traditional one-letter options.
The libstdc++ package contains a rewritten standard compliant GCC Standard C++ Library.
A set of basic GNU tools commonly used in shell scripts
These are the GNU core utilities. This package is the combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
The groff-base package contains base parts of groff formatting system which are required to display manual pages.
This pragma allows you to declare constants at compile-time. When a constant is used in an expression, Perl replaces it with its value at compile time, and may then optimize the expression further. In particular, any code in an "if (CONSTANT)" block will be optimized away if the constant is false.
Stringified perl data structures, suitable for both printing and eval
Given a list of scalars or reference variables, writes out their contents in perl syntax. The references can also be objects. The content of each variable is output in a single Perl statement. Handles self-referential structures correctly. The return value can be evaled to get back an identical copy of the original reference structure. (Please do consider the security implications of eval'ing code from untrusted sources!)
This module provides a convenient way to create directories of arbitrary depth and to delete an entire directory subtree from the filesystem.
A highly capable, feature-rich programming language
Perl 5 is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over 30 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large scale development projects.
Bash is the GNU Project's shell. Bash is the Bourne Again SHell. Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification.
