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.

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.
