FreeDroid is a clone of the classic game "Paradroid" for Commodore 64
with some improvements and extensions to the original version.
reviewed by wcobb/naddy. no objects on ports@ after ~10 days.
"Perhaps the most notable changes are bug fixes for broken "mbox"
functionality, for a crash when Taking to a Rule, for a crash when Sorting
on some IMAP servers, and for a problem when forwarding address book
entries and Taking them, which caused remote address book corruption.
There is some new support for reading news from more than one NNTP server,
a new tab-checks-recent feature to allow checking for new mail in a folder
without opening it, and a few other small improvements."
src/fe-gtk/Makefile.in was in patch-src_fe-text_Makefile_in,
also add a patch for the real src/fe-text/Makefile.in to add
in a missing -liconv so this will link properly on a.out systems.

Jcode.pm is a Perl module that handles various Japanese charsets. It has all
features available on jcode.pl-2.10 PLUS
- Object-oriented approach on Japanese text handling
- mime header handling
- Unicode feature (UCS2 and UTF8)

This module converts strings from and to 2-byte Unicode UCS2 format. All
mappings happen via 2 byte UTF16 encodings, not via 1 byte UTF8 encoding. To
transform these use Unicode::String.
For historical reasons this module coexists with Unicode::Map8. Please use
Unicode::Map8 unless you need to care for two byte character sets, e.g. chinese
GB2312. Anyway, if you stick to the basic functionality (see documentation)
you can use both modules equivalently.
Practically this module will disappear from earth sooner or later as Unicode
mapping support needs somehow to get into perl's core. If you like to work on
this field please don't hesitate contacting Gisle Aas!
This module can't deal directly with utf8. Use Unicode::String to convert utf8
to utf16 and vice versa.
Character mapping is according to the data of binary mapfiles in Unicode::Map
hierarchy. Binary mapfiles can also be created with this module, enabling you
to install own specific character sets. Refer to mkmapfile or file REGISTRY in
the Unicode::Map hierarchy.

Provides an adapter layer between core routines for converting to and
from UTF8 and other encodings. In essence, a way to give multiple
existing Unicode modules a single common interface so you don't have to
know the underlaying implementations to do simple UTF8 to-from other
character set encoding conversions. As such, it wraps the
Unicode::String, Unicode::Map8, Unicode::Map and Jcode modules in a
standardized and simple API.
This also provides general character set conversion operation based on
UTF8 - it is possible to convert between any two compatible and
supported character sets via a simple two step chaining of conversions.
As with most things Perlish - if you give it a few big chunks of text to
chew on instead of lots of small ones it will handle many more
characters per second.
By design, it can be easily extended to encompass any new charset
encoding conversion modules that arrive on the scene.

The "Embedding Perl in HTML with Mason" book documents the HTML::Mason
framework in detail, including chapters on component syntax, Mason
object APIs, a sample site walk-through, recipes, and details on
Mason's advanced features and how to use them.

The Logger Product adds the <dtml-log> tag, so that DTML code may
send messages directly to Zope's logging subsystem.
One use of this tag is to help debug complex DTML and ZSQL methods.

mod_text2html is an Apache module. It is written in C and was
designed to replace Apache's internal text/plain handler.

The DBD::CSV module is yet another driver for the DBI (Database
independent interface for Perl). This one is based on the SQL
"engine" SQL::Statement and the abstract DBI driver DBD::File and
implements access to so-called CSV files (Comma separated values).
Such files are mostly used for exporting MS Access and MS Excel
data.
