This module enables run-time taint checking, for cases where the -T switch on the command line is not appropriate or viable. There are a somewhat limited number of legitimate use cases where you should use this module instead of the -T switch. Unless you have a specific and good reason for not using the -T option, you should use the -T option.
One recurring problem in modules that use Scalar::Util's weaken function is that it is not present in the pure-perl variant. This restores the functionality testing to a dependency you do once in your Makefile.PL, rather than something you have to write extra tests for each time you write a module.
WARNING: THIS MODULE IS EXPERIMENTAL AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE Template::Tiny is a re-implementation of a partial subset of the Template Toolkit, in as few lines of code as possible. It is intended for use in light-usage, low-memory, or low-CPU templating situations, where you may need to upgrade to the full feature set in the future, or if you want the familiarity of TT-style templates. It is intended to have fully-compatible template and stash usage, with a limited by similar Perl API. Unlike Template Toolkit, Template::Tiny will process templates without a compile phase (but despite this is still quicker, owing to heavy use of the Perl regular expression engine.
The Template Toolkit is a collection of modules which implement a fast, flexible, powerful and extensible template processing system. It was originally designed and remains primarily useful for generating dynamic web content, but it can be used equally well for processing any other kind of text based documents: HTML, XML, POD, PostScript, LaTeX, and so on.
Term::ProgressBar provides a simple progress bar on the terminal, to let the user know that something is happening, roughly how much stuff has been done, and maybe an estimate at how long remains.
Term::UI is a transparent way of eliminating the overhead of having to format a question and then validate the reply, informing the user if the answer was not proper and re-issuing the question.
Term::ReadKey is a compiled perl module dedicated to providing simple control over terminal driver modes (cbreak, raw, cooked, etc.) support for non-blocking reads, if the architecture allows, and some generalized handy functions for working with terminals. One of the main goals is to have the functions as portable as possible, so you can just plug in "use Term::ReadKey" on any architecture and have a good likelyhood of it working.
This module allows you to specify the number of expected tests at a finer level of granularity than an entire test script. It is built with Test::Builder and plays happily with Test::More and friends.
This module was written to ensure that a META.yml file, provided with a standard distribution uploaded to CPAN, meets the specifications that are slowly being introduced to module uploads, via the use of package makers and installers such as ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build and Module::Install.
