"Module::Build" is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl
modules. It is meant to be a replacement for "ExtUtils::MakeMaker".
Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a
much more straightforward way than with "MakeMaker". It also does not
require a "make" on your system, most of the "Module::Build" code is
pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way.

This module provides a simple, convenient, abstracted and
extensible manner for validating and untainting the input
from web forms.

"ExtUtils::ParseXS" will compile XS code into C code by embedding the
constructs necessary to let C functions manipulate Perl values and
creates the glue necessary to let Perl access those functions.

This module can build the C portions of Perl modules by invoking the
appropriate compilers and linkers in a cross-platform manner. It was
motivated by the "Module::Build" project, but may be useful for other
purposes as well. However, it is not intended as a general
cross-platform interface to all your C building needs.

Class names in Perl often don't sound great when spoken, or look good
when written in prose. For this reason, we tend to say things like
"customer" or "basket" when we are referring to
"My::Site::User::Customer" or "My::Site::Shop::Basket". We thought it
would be nice if our classes knew what we would prefer to call them.
This module will add a "moniker" (and "plural_moniker") method to
"UNIVERSAL", and so to every class or module.

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.
