Generate fast XS accessors without runtime compilation
Class::XSAccessor implements fast read, write and read/write accessors in XS. Additionally, it can provide predicates such as has_foo() for testing whether the attribute foo is defined in the object. It only works with objects that are implemented as ordinary hashes. Class::XSAccessor::Array implements the same interface for objects that use arrays for their internal representation.
Tools for working with directory and file names.
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.
This module provides a convenient way to create directories of arbitrary depth and to delete an entire directory subtree from the filesystem.
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.
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.
The Storable extension brings persistence to your data. You may recursively store to disk any data structure, no matter how complex and circular it is, provided it contains only SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH (possibly tied) and references (possibly blessed) to those items.
Ensure that a platform has weaken support
One recurring problem in modules that use Scalar::Util's weaken function is that it is not present in the pure-perl variant.
Simple, compact and correct param-checking functions
Params::Util provides a basic set of importable functions that makes checking parameters a hell of a lot easier. While they can be (and are) used in other contexts, the main point behind this module is that the functions both Do What You Mean, and Do The Right Thing, so they are most useful when you are getting params passed into your code from someone and/or somewhere else and you can't really trust the quality.
Common Scalar and List utility subroutines
This package contains a selection of subroutines that people have expressed would be nice to have in the perl core, but the usage would not really be high enough to warrant the use of a keyword, and the size so small such that being individual extensions would be wasteful.
This package is the shared library for perl.
The Digest::MD5 module allows you to use the RSA Data Security Inc. MD5 Message Digest algorithm from within Perl programs. The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
This module provides a clone() method which makes recursive copies of nested hash, array, scalar and reference types, including tied variables and objects.
Implements default import method for modules
The Exporter module implements an import method which allows a module to export functions and variables to its users' name spaces. Many modules use Exporter rather than implementing their own import method because Exporter provides a highly flexible interface, with an implementation optimized for the common case.
