File::RsyncP is a perl implementation of an Rsync client. It is compatible with Rsync 2.5.5 - 2.6.3 (protocol versions 26-28). It can send or receive files, either by running rsync on the remote machine, or connecting to an rsyncd daemon on the remote machine.
This module provides subs that allow you to read or write entire files with one simple call. They are designed to be simple to use, have flexible ways to pass in or get the file contents and to be very efficient. There is also a sub to read in all the files in a directory other than . and .. These slurp/spew subs work for files, pipes and sockets, and stdio, pseudo-files, and DATA.
File::Which is a portable implementation (in Perl) of 'which', and can be used to get the absolute filename of an executable program installed somewhere in your PATH, or just check for its existence. It includes the command-line utility 'pwhich' which has the same function as 'which'.
File::pushd does a temporary chdir that is easily and automatically reverted, similar to pushd in some Unix command shells. It works by creating an object that caches the original working directory. When the object is destroyed, the destructor calls chdir to revert to the original working directory. By storing the object in a lexical variable with a limited scope, this happens automatically at the end of the scope.
Source filters alter the program text of a module before Perl sees it, much as a C preprocessor alters the source text of a C program before the compiler sees it.
Interface to Adobe Font Metrics files
Perl module for TrueType font hacking. Supports reading, processing and writing of the following tables: GDEF, GPOS, GSUB, LTSH, OS/2, PCLT, bsln, cmap, cvt, fdsc, feat, fpgm, glyf, hdmx, head, hhea, hmtx, kern, loca, maxp, mort, name, post, prep, prop, vhea, vmtx and the reading and writing of all other table types. In short, you can do almost anything with a standard TrueType font with this module.
Converts data to/from stringified form, appropriate for saving-to/reading-from permanent storage.
