Params::Classify provides various type-testing functions. These are
intended for functions that, unlike most Perl code, care what type of
data they are operating on. For example, some functions wish to behave
differently depending on the type of their arguments (like overloaded
functions in C++).
MooseX::NonMoose allows for easily subclassing non-Moose classes with
Moose, taking care of the annoying details connected with doing this,
such as setting up proper inheritance from Moose::Object and installing
(and inlining, at make_immutable time) a constructor that makes sure
things like BUILD methods are called.
MooseX::MarkAsMethods allows one to easily mark certain functions as
Moose methods. This will allow other packages such as
namespace::autoclean to operate without blowing away your overloads.
After using MooseX::MarkAsMethods your overloads will be recognized by
Class::MOP as being methods, and class extension as well as composition
from roles with overloads will "just work".
Often you want to write a persistant daemon that has a pid file, and
responds appropriately to Signals. MooseX::Daemonize provides a set of
basic roles as an infrastructure to do that.
"require EXPR" only accepts "Class/Name.pm" style module names, not
"Class::Name". How frustrating! For that, we provide "load_class
'Class::Name'".
It's often useful to test whether a module can be loaded, instead of
throwing an error when it's not available. For that, we provide
"try_load_class 'Class::Name'".
Finally, sometimes we need to know whether a particular class has been
loaded. Asking %INC is an option, but that will miss inner packages and
any class for which the filename does not correspond to the package
name. For that, we provide "is_class_loaded 'Class::Name'".
Latexmk is a perl script for running LaTeX the correct number of times
to resolve cross references, etc; it also runs auxiliary programs
(bibtex, makeindex if necessary, and dvips and/or a previewer as
requested).

Updated from 1.04 port in Andreas Voegele's repository.
''Currently, several ports that could be built with
"CONFIGURE_STYLE=modinst" are built with "CONFIGURE_ARGS += --skipdeps"
as they require a more recent version of Module::Install.''
WWW::Mechanize 1.70. Required by the recent www/p5-WWW-Mechanize update
as well as the Catalyst update.
More recent versions of Test::WWW::Mechanize depend on LWP 6.02, which
hasn't hit OpenBSD's ports tree yet.
From Andreas Voegele's repo.
Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::Store::FastMmap is deprecated because
Cache::FastMmap no longer needs to be wrapped to store plain values.
from Andreas Voegele's repo
Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::FileCache has been deprecated in favor of
Catalyst::Plugin::Cache, which can be configured to use a FileCache
backend.
from Andreas Voegele's repo
MRO::Compat instead of the deprecated module NEXT. Disable TEST_POD as
the POD coverage tests complain about undocumented code.
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIC is deprecated. Use
Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class instead.
