Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using
a cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate
elements normally aggregated in different files, like users, cron jobs,
and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services,
and files.
Puppet's simple declarative specification language provides powerful classing
abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts while allowing them
to be as specific as necessary, and it handles dependency and prerequisite
relationships between objects clearly and explicitly.
Puppet is written entirely in Ruby.
btpd is a bittorrent client consisting of a daemon and client commands,
which can be used to read and/or manipulate the daemon state. The daemon
is capable of running several torrents simultaneously and only uses one
tcp port. It's fairly low on resource usage and should be perfect for
file distribution sites. Efficient downloads and ease of use makes this
client a good choice for the casual user as well

Filter::Template is a Perl source filter that provides simple inline
source code templates. Inlined source code can be significantly faster
than subroutines, especially for small-scale functions like accessors
and mutators. On the other hand, they are more difficult to maintain and
use.

A cross-platform Ruby library for retrieving facts from operating systems.
Supports multiple resolution mechanisms, any of which can be restricted to
working only on certain operating systems or environments.
Facter is especially useful for retrieving things like operating system names,
IP addresses, MAC addresses, and SSH keys.
POE::Component::Jabber is a module that simplies for the POE developer,
access to the Jabber protocol through the use of one of the four Client
classes. With built in events for common Jabber packets, all a POE
developer need do is provide an event and arguments for most events so
the responses to the requests can be properly handled by the coder.
cairo and GTK+ libraries. The aim of ePDFView is to make a simple
PDF document viewer, in the lines of Evince but without using the
GNOME libraries.

Hiawatha is a secure webserver for Unix. It has been written with 'being
secure' as its main goal. Hiawatha has many security features that no
other webserver has.
Hiawatha does not have all the fancy features, but it is very secure and
fast and is really easy to configure. Rootjail, run CGIs under any
uid/gid you want, prevention of SQL injection and cross-site scripting,
banning of clients who try such exploits and many other features make
Hiawatha an interesting webserver for those who need more security than
what the other available webservers are offering.

Pod::Spell is a Pod formatter whose output is good for spellchecking.
Pod::Spell rather like Pod::Text, except that it doesn't put much
effort into actual formatting, and it suppresses things that look
like Perl symbols or Perl jargon (so that your spellchecking program
won't complain about mystery words like "$thing" or ""Foo::Bar""
or "hashref").
