The SPVM Language
SPVM is a statically typed programming language that uses Perl-like syntax and is designed for high performance and native interoperability. You can run SPVM scripts with the spvm command or produce standalone executables with spvmcc, and the runtime supports AOT and JIT compilation, native threads and lightweight goroutine-style concurrency, plus bindings for C and C++ so you can reuse existing native libraries. SPVM also offers a Perl binding so Perl programs can call SPVM methods and aims to leverage familiar Perl standard functions and modules while adding static typing, type inference and static analysis for safer code. The project is still pre-1.0 and does not guarantee backward compatibility, but it includes documentation, tutorials and examples and targets cross-platform toolchains such as LLVM and MSVC.
Test2-Harness
Release | 17 Aug 2026 05:25 AM | Author: EXODIST | Version: 1.000173
A new and improved test harness with better Test2 integration
Test2::Harness is the backend engine that runs and processes Perl test suites with tight integration for the newer Test2 testing framework. It focuses on executing tests, collecting results, and feeding those results into higher level tools and reporters. Most people will not call it directly because App::Yath provides the user-facing command line and configuration layer built on top of Test2::Harness. Choose this module when you need a modern, Test2-aware harness for building test runners or integrating tests into CI systems, otherwise use App::Yath or existing test runners for everyday testing. The project is open source and hosted on GitHub and is distributed under the same license as Perl.
OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1 server and client
Open::API is a Perl toolkit for driving both sides of an HTTP API from a single OpenAPI 3.0 or 3.1 document. It loads and compiles the spec at startup into fast, C-backed validators so routing and parameter/schema checks run on a hot path, and it exposes that compiled core to a PSGI server adapter and to a spec-driven HTTP client so one document can produce a server, a client, mocks and docs. The module normalises 3.0 Schema Objects to 3.1 shape at load and expands OpenAPI discriminators so validation and mock generation pick the intended branch, and it offers direct match and validate_request methods for other frameworks, response checking and per-operation coverage counters, and a deterministic response synthesizer useful for predictable mocks. Open::API also publishes a C ABI for embedding the router and validator into native dispatchers and integrates features needed for real deployments such as security scheme enforcement, CSRF and CORS support when used with the Plack adapter. Recent notable work added acceptance of OpenAPI 3.0 documents by converting them to the 3.1/JSON Schema 2020-12 dialect at load so the rest of the toolchain can operate against a single, consistent schema form.
File-Raw-JSON
Release | 17 Aug 2026 04:33 AM | Author: LNATION | Version: 0.07
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Fast JSON / JSONL plugin for File::Raw
File::Raw::JSON is a compact, high-performance JSON and JSONL plugin for File::Raw that uses the yyjson C library to parse and emit JSON with minimal overhead. It registers two File::Raw plugins, "json" for single-document files and "jsonl" for NDJSON/JSONL streams, and exposes small XSUBs file_json_decode and file_json_encode for in-memory encode/decode without touching the filesystem. The jsonl path supports memory-bounded streaming via each_line and uses brace-balancing rather than naive newline splitting so pretty-printed records, multi-record lines, and braces inside strings are handled correctly. You get common encoder and decoder options like pretty printing, key sorting/canonical output, relaxed parsing, UTF-8 handling, max depth, and an ordered decode mode that preserves object insertion order at the cost of slower decoding. There is also a published C ABI so XS modules can call the same fast codec from C. The dist vendors yyjson under an MIT license and recent fixes include a 0.07 patch that prevents silent truncation of large integers on 32-bit IV Perls, so numeric fidelity is improved on older platforms.
Dist-Zilla-PluginBundle-Author-GETTY
Release | 17 Aug 2026 02:39 AM | Author: GETTY | Version: 0.319
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
BeLike::GETTY when you build your dists
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::GETTY is a ready-made Dist::Zilla plugin bundle that encodes the release workflow and defaults used by the author Getty so you can build, test, version and publish Perl distributions with minimal configuration. It wires together common plugins for metadata, version management, pod weaving, Git/GitHub or Gitea repository metadata, release hooks, optional Docker image publishing, and support for XS or Alien-based builds while offering simple dist.ini switches to opt out of CPAN uploads, include README.md, mark a distro for adoption, or tune which files get $VERSION bumps. The bundle auto-detects GitHub remotes but can target self-hosted Gitea, provides shortcuts to run scripts before and after build or release, and includes a shared GitHub Action for consistent CI. Recent releases fixed some edge cases around version tagging and release commits, most notably ensuring the post-release commit now includes executables in bin/ so scripts are not left one release behind.
GraphViz2-Marpa-PathUtils
Release | 17 Aug 2026 12:05 AM | Author: RSAVAGE | Version: 2.01
Provide various analyses of Graphviz dot files
GraphViz2::Marpa::PathUtils is a utility for analyzing Graphviz DOT files that helps you discover independent groups of connected nodes and enumerate all paths of a fixed length starting from a given node. It parses DOT input, builds cluster sets and tree representations for each cluster, and can produce DOT, HTML and SVG output so you can inspect or export the results. The module is a subclass of GraphViz2::Marpa and inherits its parsing and configuration options while adding convenient methods and flags for path length, start node, reporting and output naming. It is handy when you need to identify isolated subgraphs or explore specific-length routes through a graph, and the distribution includes example scripts and demo data to get you started. Be aware that the fixed-length path search does not handle edges that point into or out of subgraphs and the allow_cycles option is not implemented in the current minor version.
Filename-KeyValue
Release | 17 Aug 2026 12:05 AM | Author: PERLANCAR | Version: 0.002
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Parse filename using the KeyValue naming scheme
Filename::KeyValue extracts structured metadata from filenames that use a trailing key=value naming scheme by parsing the prefix, file extension and key/value pairs that are separated by dashes. It understands multiple keys, comma-separated multi-values, and percent-encoded characters and returns an enveloped result containing an HTTP-like status code, a message, the parsed payload and optional metadata. The main routine parse_keyvalue_filename accepts options to control whether values are returned as arrays or as joined strings and whether to URI-decode values. This module is handy when you organize media or other assets by encoding attributes into filenames and need a reliable, exportable helper to read or normalize that information for indexing, routing or processing.
Map-Tube-Plugin-Graph
Release | 16 Aug 2026 07:34 PM | Author: MANWAR | Version: v1.1.2
Upvotes: 2 | CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Graph plugin for Map::Tube
Map::Tube::Plugin::Graph is a plugin role for the Map::Tube family that turns tube network data into Graph objects and rendered maps, letting you produce images of individual lines or an entire network for analysis or display. It integrates with GraphViz2 and the GraphViz command line tools to output PNG, SVG, PDF, DOT/GV and other formats, and offers a flexible render() method to choose format, layout driver, output file naming, and optional base64 encoding while as_png() and as_image() act as convenient wrappers. You can also get a manipulable Graph object from as_graph() to run graph algorithms or decorate edges yourself, and helper methods list_drivers() and list_formats() report what GraphViz supports on your system. Note that it relies on GraphViz2 and an installed GraphViz binary and requires Perl 5.14 or newer. Recent releases added the modern, feature-rich render() API, better output naming and safer filename handling plus expanded tests, with only minor test robustness fixes in the latest patch.
Hyperman
Release | 16 Aug 2026 06:57 PM | Author: LNATION | Version: 0.23
Upvotes: 2 | CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
An event-loop PSGI server
Hyperman is a high-performance PSGI server for running Perl web apps that pairs a prefork supervisor with a per-worker, XS/C event loop to deliver low-latency, high-throughput serving and native async support. It runs any Plack app, lets handlers return Hyperman::Future objects to await asynchronous work without blocking, and exposes timers and io-ready primitives for in-app scheduling. Production features include graceful worker respawn and zero-downtime reloads, multiple listeners (plain and TLS) with SNI and optional client-cert verification, HTTP/2 support, a fast C implemented access log, and a shared forked arena for denylists and fixed-window rate limiting enforced at accept. The module also offers a C ABI so other XS extensions can use its loop and futures directly, and an explicit detach facility for handing live HTTP/1 sockets to an application for protocol upgrades. Recent releases notably added tls_reload to swap certificates per worker and, in the latest update, an attempt to build and serve on native Windows with a WSAPoll backend while keeping existing platform behavior unchanged.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-Perm-UI-Bootstrap
Release | 16 Aug 2026 06:01 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.02
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Web UI extension for Fondation::Perm — injects perm checkboxes into group forms
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::Perm::UI::Bootstrap is a lightweight Mojolicious plugin that injects a Bootstrap 5 permission UI into group add/edit modals for apps using Fondation::Perm, so you can present and edit a group's permissions without building the form UI yourself. It adds markup and two small JavaScript helpers: loadPerms(group) fetches available permissions from GET /api/perm and pre-checks those the group already has, and collectPermAssignments() returns the checked permission IDs so your form validation and save logic (for example in DatatableGroup.js) can include the assignments. The permissions block is hidden by default and shown when loadPerms runs, and the plugin is enabled simply from your app config. Recent updates removed the menu icon color and refreshed dependencies in version 0.02.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-Authorization
Release | 16 Aug 2026 06:01 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.02
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Authorization plugin — grants loading and check_perm/check_group helpers
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::Authorization is a small Mojolicious plugin that loads a user’s grants (group memberships and derived permissions) from the database once per session and provides simple check_perm and check_group helpers for synchronous access control. On the first authenticated request it kicks off an asynchronous fetch via an around_dispatch hook and stores the results in the Mojolicious session so subsequent requests use the cached grants and do not hit the database. Permissions are inherited through group membership only, so there is no direct user-to-permission table. The plugin relies on companion Fondation plugins for authentication, group and permission DB models and the 0.02 release updates dependencies.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-Auth
Release | 16 Aug 2026 06:01 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.03
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Fondation authentication plugin — DBIx-backed login/logout
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::Auth is a ready-made authentication plugin for Mojolicious apps that need simple DBIx::Class backed login and logout. It wires Mojolicious::Plugin::Authentication to a user model provided by the Fondation stack, installs GET/POST /login and GET /logout routes, and supplies helpers like current_user, authenticate, and logout so you can easily show login state in templates. Password hashing uses Argon2id inside the plugin's Result class so the plugin itself only verifies credentials, and the authentication provider is pluggable so you can swap the default DBIx provider for LDAP, OAuth or a custom backend. Configuration options let you change the model name, username and password column names, session timeout and session key, and the plugin ships a default login template and translations for English and French. If you are building a Mojolicious site that stores users in DBIx::Class and want a quick, configurable login system this plugin is a concise, ready-to-use solution.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-CSRF
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:59 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.01
CPAN Testers: Fail 100.0%
CSRF protection plugin for Fondation — route condition, OpenAPI integration, JS injection
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::CSRF is a lightweight plugin that adds Cross-Site Request Forgery protection to Fondation-based Mojolicious applications by reusing Mojolicious' built-in CSRF token machinery. It provides three ways to protect routes: an explicit route condition you can attach to individual actions, automatic protection of POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE routes generated by Fondation::OpenAPI, and a configurable around_dispatch blanket that checks all mutating requests unless a path matches an exemption pattern. Tokens are stored in the session and validated with Mojo's csrf_protect, and the plugin supports standard form tokens and an X-CSRF-Token header for AJAX calls. It ships a small csrf.js that reads a meta-tag token and patches fetch and XMLHttpRequest to inject the header, and it requires sessions to be enabled and a meta tag in your layout (Layout-Bootstrap provides this automatically). Default behavior auto-protects mutating requests but can be disabled or tuned with exemptions, and this package is a brand new initial release (v0.01).
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-Layout-Bootstrap
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:58 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.05
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Simple layout plugin for Fondation
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::Layout::Bootstrap is a small plugin that supplies a ready-to-use Bootstrap-based layout for Mojolicious applications using the Fondation conventions, making it easy to adopt a consistent page structure and asset handling without crafting templates from scratch. It integrates with Fondation/Mojolicious asset helpers so CSS and other resources are managed for you, and recent updates added a dedicated render zone for head/css along with tests and dependency adjustments to ensure smoother asset integration. If you want a quick, convention-driven Bootstrap layout for a Mojolicious app, this module gives you that foundation with minimal setup.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-OpenAPI
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:53 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.04
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
OpenAPI specification generator and runtime validator for Fondation applications
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::OpenAPI generates an OpenAPI 3.0.3 specification from DBIx::Class models for Fondation applications and provides runtime request validation and optional Swagger UI integration. It offers an "openapi generate" command that writes share/openapi.json and a client-side public/js/validators.js used by Fondation assets, and the app loads the spec at startup via Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI to validate requests and wire route-level permission checks. You can control which database backend is used, override schema and column properties without touching DBIx classes, disable client-side validation for testing, and mark tables as excluded through plugins with fondation_meta. Permission annotations from schemas are translated into route requires so API protection matches HTML routes, and Swagger UI routes are added automatically in development. The plugin depends on Fondation::Model::DBIx::Async and Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI, and there is a known compatibility issue on Perl 5.40 caused by a downstream dependency that can be worked around on Debian by installing libnet-idn-encode-perl. Run openapi generate before asset generation to keep the spec and client validators in sync.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-Menu
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:53 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.04
Dynamic menu management plugin for Fondation — navbar, breadcrumb
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::Menu is a plugin that gives Mojolicious apps a simple way to declare, store and render navigational menus and breadcrumbs. Plugins declare their menu items in share/menus.json and a provided "menu sync" command imports those items into a small database table so you get hierarchical menus, ordering, parent/child relationships, optional FontAwesome icons, conditional visibility based on group or permission, and per-item metadata like description and whether an item should appear in the menu. The plugin exposes convenient helpers for fetching menus, rendering menus and breadcrumbs, checking conditions, and it also surfaces a RESTful API with create/read/update/delete endpoints and fine-grained menu permissions. It is a good fit if you need centralized, declarative control of navbars and breadcrumbs across a modular Mojolicious app. Recent updates require Fondation::Model::DBIx::Async 0.06 and remove the separate icon color field.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-I18N
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:53 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.02
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Fondation I18N plugin -- JSON-backed localization for the Fondation ecosystem
This plugin adds real dictionary-based internationalization to Fondation apps by replacing the default identity helpers with proper translations. At startup it scans each plugin's share/translations/<lang>.json files, merges them into per-language lexicons kept on the app, and exposes them via a helper so lookups are fast at runtime. For each request it detects the user language from a URL prefix or the Accept-Language header, stores a reference to the right lexicon in the request stash, and the l() helper performs a single hash lookup to return translations. For client-side code it can inject a script with the current language translations and a window.l function, and it also registers an /i18n/<lang>.json endpoint for dynamic loading. You can configure a fallback default language and which language codes are allowed in the URL. Translation files use English strings as keys and are merged at startup with last-write-wins for duplicate keys.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-Group-UI-Bootstrap
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:53 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.02
Web UI extension for Fondation::Group — injects group checkboxes into user forms
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::Group::UI::Bootstrap is a small UI plugin that adds a Bootstrap 5 web interface for managing user groups in a Mojolicious app that uses the Fondation family of plugins. It is the front end companion to the Fondation::Group backend and automatically injects group controls into existing user add/edit forms, adds a /groups administration page with a DataTable and inline add/edit/delete modals, wires JavaScript helpers to load and gather group assignments, and provides translated labels and a menu entry under Administration. Permission checks are supported so buttons and actions only appear to authorized users. If you already use Fondation::Group and the Bootstrap layout plugin, this module gives you a ready-made, integrated group management UI with minimal wiring.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-User-UI-Bootstrap
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:51 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.03
Web UI for Fondation::User — templates, assets, and i18n
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::User::UI::Bootstrap is a Mojolicious plugin that provides a ready-made Bootstrap 5 web interface for user management in Fondation-based applications, delivering templates, JavaScript assets, and translations so you can list, create, edit, assign roles or groups, and activate or deactivate users through a DataTable with inline editing and modal dialogs. It registers a GET /users route protected by the fondation.perm => user_list condition and relies on the generic REST actions supplied by Fondation::User while expecting Fondation::Layout::Bootstrap to provide the page layout. The plugin ships EP templates, a DatatableUser.js client module, and English and French lexicons, and it is configurable with a page title that defaults to "User Management". Current release is 0.03 and includes a basic load test and updated dependency declarations.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-User
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:51 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.04
User management plugin for Fondation
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::User is a user-management add-on for Mojolicious apps using the Fondation framework that supplies a ready-made users table with schema, Result and ResultSet classes, an OpenAPI-driven REST controller for standard CRUD operations, and an optional Bootstrap-based HTML UI. It automatically hashes passwords with Argon2 via Crypt::Passphrase in the async DB worker so the event loop stays responsive and the password field is never returned in API responses. Convenience ResultSet helpers like active, created_today and latest simplify common queries and the with('groups') option performs a single-query prefetch of many-to-many group relations so group objects can be embedded in responses without extra database round trips. API notification translations for English and French are included. Note that recent releases require Fondation::Model::DBIx::Async 0.06.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-MigrationDBIx
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:51 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.06
Migration and fixture management for DBIx::Class backends
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::MigrationDBIx adds a simple "db" toolset to Fondation apps that use DBIx::Class via Fondation::Model::DBIx::Async, letting you generate and apply schema migrations and load fixture data without leaving your app. It generates upgrade and downgrade SQL from your schema classes, copies plugin-provided fixture directories into the application, detects the database driver from the DSN, and exposes commands such as bootstrap-schema, prepare, install, upgrade, downgrade, status and populate to manage the full migration workflow. A helper reports schema drift between the live database and the prepared migration files and the plugin keeps per-version fixture sets so you can populate test or initial data cleanly. Configuration is minimal, with options for the target backend and migrations directory, and recent updates improve fixture dependency handling and compatibility while aligning this release with Fondation::Model::DBIx::Async 0.06. If you maintain a Mojolicious app backed by DBIx::Class and want integrated, plugin-aware migration and fixture management, this module is directly relevant.
Mojolicious-Plugin-Fondation-Workflow-UI-Bootstrap
Release | 16 Aug 2026 05:50 PM | Author: DAB | Version: 0.02
Bootstrap 5 UI components for Fondation::Workflow
Mojolicious::Plugin::Fondation::Workflow::UI::Bootstrap is a small Mojolicious plugin that provides ready-made Bootstrap 5 UI helpers for Fondation::Workflow so you can display workflow state, available actions, progress and history with minimal effort. It installs five template helpers that accept a Fondation::Workflow::Proxy and return HTML fragments for badges, action button groups, a text-based progress tree and a vertical timeline, while a separate helper emits a raw Mermaid.js flowchart definition for diagram rendering. Labels, colors and icons are driven by a fondation block in your workflow YAML and fall back to sensible defaults when absent. The plugin requires Fondation::Layout::Bootstrap and Fondation::Workflow and is useful for developers who want consistent, Bootstrap-styled workflow interfaces without building the markup by hand.
The CPAN Security Advisory data as a Perl data structure, mostly for CPAN::Audit
CPANSA::DB packages the CPAN Security Advisory feed as a ready-to-use Perl data structure and exposes a single db method that returns a hash reference of all advisory reports. It is used by CPAN::Audit but can be used by any Perl program that needs a local, programmatic snapshot of CPAN security advisories. Releases are distributed on GitHub and include a JSON equivalent, GPG signatures, and GitHub attestations so you can verify the archive came from the official source before trusting the data. Use this module when you want an easy, verifiable way to load CPAN advisory data into your Perl code.
HTTP-API-Core
Release | 16 Aug 2026 02:18 PM | Author: SHINGO | Version: 0.01
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
Small foundation for JSON HTTP API cores
HTTP::API::Core is a lightweight, composable foundation for building JSON HTTP API clients in Perl. It centralizes base URL and default header handling, provides convenience methods for common HTTP verbs, and makes JSON encoding and decoding straightforward while letting you configure timeouts and a conservative automatic retry policy with exponential backoff and jitter. The module includes pagination helpers for next-url, page-number, and cursor styles, normalizes common rate-limit headers into a simple rate-limit object, and returns structured errors with useful metadata so callers can decide how to handle failures. Lifecycle hooks let you inject authentication, tracing, or custom headers before requests and inspect responses or errors afterward. The transport layer is pluggable so you can supply a code reference or an object that implements a request method. This 0.01 release also marks a namespace rename from the pre-release HTTP::API::Client project and intentionally keeps higher-level concerns like logging and metrics out of the core so you can build your own service-specific clients on top.
JSON-Schema-Fast
Release | 16 Aug 2026 02:14 PM | Author: LNATION | Version: 0.08
CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
A fast JSON Schema (draft 2020-12) validator
JSON::Schema::Fast is a high-performance JSON Schema (draft 2020-12) validator for Perl that compiles a schema once into a compact intermediate form and then validates live Perl data through a tight C interpreter, making repeated validations extremely fast. You create a compiled validator from a hashref, boolean schema, or JSON text and then call is_valid for a cheap boolean check or validate to collect detailed error hashes that include JSON Pointer locations, failing keywords, schema pointers, and human messages. It implements the full 2020-12 keyword set including references and remote documents, and it offers options to coerce common string representations into numbers or booleans and to apply declared defaults into the data before validation. Remote $ref resolution uses a pluggable resolver and by default will fetch documents via Fetch's C ABI, so you can supply your own resolver or disable remote lookups to avoid outbound requests. The distribution is fully conformant to the official test suite and exposes a small C ABI so XS authors can perform schema compilation and validation entirely in C for ultra-low-overhead use cases such as high-volume OpenAPI request validation.
App-cpm
Release | 16 Aug 2026 12:43 PM | Author: SKAJI | Version: v1.1.5
Upvotes: 78 | CPAN Testers: Pass 100.0%
A fast CPAN module installer
App::cpm is a fast command-line CPAN installer for Perl that emphasizes stable, predictable installs by preparing dependency builds first and doing the final installation step separately. It installs requested distributions and their runtime dependency closure, supports cpanfile input and reading module lists from STDIN, and speeds work with parallel build flow and optional prebuilt caches. The tool aims to be more reliable than ad hoc installers when you have large dependency graphs or CI workflows. Recent releases added installer customization and an experimental config option and now include GitHub artifact attestations for release tarballs so you can verify provenance. Use cpm when you want a quick, reproducible way to fetch and install CPAN modules.
Crypt-OpenSSL-PKCS12
Release | 16 Aug 2026 12:34 PM | Author: JONASBN | Version: 1.99
Perl extension to OpenSSL's PKCS12 API
Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 is a Perl wrapper around OpenSSL's PKCS#12 functions that makes it easy to load, inspect, extract and create .p12/.pfx bundles from Perl code. You can open a PKCS12 file or binary string and get the end-entity certificate, CA chain and private key as PEM, verify the file MAC, dump human-readable or structured info, and create PKCS12 files or raw DER strings for storage or transport. It implements a useful subset of the OpenSSL PKCS12 API, mirrors many openssl pkcs12 options, and requires a system OpenSSL and Perl 5.14 or newer. Recent updates add OpenSSL 4.0 compatibility and important security fixes, but note that changepass() cannot rekey PBES2-encrypted bundles on OpenSSL 3.x/4.x due to an upstream limitation, so re-creating the bundle is the recommended workaround.
Regexp-Compare
Release | 16 Aug 2026 09:21 AM | Author: VBAR | Version: 0.37
Partial ordering for regular expressions
Regexp::Compare provides a simple predicate is_less_or_equal($a,$b) that tells you whether every string matched by one regular expression is also matched by another, which is handy for spotting duplicate or redundant regex rules when optimizing blacklist or pattern sets. You pass the regexes as strings, so include inline modifiers like (?i:pat) rather than using /pat/i syntax. The module works well for straightforward patterns and quick redundancy checks, but it does not handle many advanced Perl regex features. It cannot reliably compare expressions that use Perl code or backreferences, it may fail for locale-specific constructs, it ignores global regex-related variables, character class comparison is simplified and can be incorrect in edge cases, EBCDIC platforms are unsupported, and some unusual but legal constructs can cause it to die.
Lingua-famibeib
Release | 16 Aug 2026 08:33 AM | Author: LION | Version: v0.07
Module to interact with the famibeib language
Lingua::famibeib is the top-level Perl module for working with famibeib, a constructed language, and it provides the entry point to a small ecosystem for parsing and manipulating famibeib text, sentences, and words. Most users will work with the companion modules Lingua::famibeib::Text for text handling and parsing, Lingua::famibeib::Sentence for sentence-level operations, and Lingua::famibeib::Word for word-level analysis and transformations. The distribution supports parsing number words, verb and modifier handling, prefix queries and improved prefix logic for common particles, and has explicit support for foreign words and experimental name generation. It integrates with common identifier and language interfaces so it can be used alongside other Lingua and Data::Identifier tools. Recent updates added a formal word interface implementation and expanded the set of known classes to include word, modifier, and prefix, making the module more extensible for tooling and generation tasks.
Primary runtime module for the WebDyne framework, with support for standalone `.psp` to HTML rendering
WebDyne is the core runtime and rendering engine for the WebDyne framework that turns ".psp" pages into complete HTML either inside a web runtime like Apache/mod_perl, PSGI, or PAGI or from standalone scripts and tooling. It exposes simple script-facing helpers (html and html_sr) for rendering templates with parameters or writing directly to a filehandle, and it integrates features useful for web apps such as embedded Perl in HTML, compile-time parsing and caching, templating, filters, CGI-style parameter access, and a request abstraction that unifies standalone, PSGI, and PAGI execution. The module is suitable both for running full WebDyne applications under a server and for offline generation, diagnostics, or test utilities via the bundled wdrender helper. Recent maintenance has focused on stability and testing, including normalizing boolean wrapper options so diagnostic dumps are consistent across environments and improving PAGI test diagnostics and wrapper test resilience.
