When searching through large amounts of data, it is often the case that a
result set is returned that is larger than we want to display on one page. This
results in wanting to page through various pages of data. The maths behind this
is unfortunately fiddly, hence this module.
The main concept is that you pass in the number of total entries, the number of
entries per page, and the current page number. You can then call methods to
find out how many pages of information there are, and what number the first and
last entries on the current page really are.

This module generates SQL, while retaining complete control
over statement handles and uses the DBI interface. The
underlying idea is for this module to do what you mean,
based on the data structures you provide it. The big
advantage is that you don't have to modify your code every
time your data changes, as this module figures it out.

B::DeObfuscate is a backend module for the Perl compiler that generates
perl source code, based on the internal compiled structure that perl
itself creates after parsing a program. It adds symbol renaming
functions to the B::Deparse module. An obfuscated program is already
parsed and interpreted correctly by the B::Deparse program.
Unfortunately, if the obfuscation involved variable renaming then the
resulting program also has obfuscated symbols.

YAML is a generic data serialization language that is optimized for
human readability. It can be used to express the data structures of most
modern programming languages.

Its possible to accidentally inherit an AUTOLOAD method. Often this
will happen if a class somewhere in the chain uses AutoLoader or defines
one of their own. This can lead to confusing error messages when method
lookups fail.
Sometimes you want to avoid this accidental inheritance. In that case,
inherit from Class::WhiteHole. All unhandled methods will produce
normal Perl error messages.

* gkrellm 2.2.0
* mms 2.1.19
* mss 2.5
* sun 0.11.0
* volume 2.1.9
* wireless 2.0.3
This also updates the dependancy on gkrellm to a minimum of 2.2.0, since
there are several updates that require some of the new functions.

The exportable subroutines of Lingua::EN::Inflect provide
plural inflections, "a"/"an" selection for English words,
and manipulation of numbers as words.

The Image::Exif Perl extension allows the user to use the
libexif library to extract EXIF information from JPEG
files created by digital cameras.
