Snowhare's Free Perl Modules
This is a collection of free Perl modules I've written. They are
(or will be) also available through the
Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN).
Each module IS NOT a standalone program - they are tools to
be used in the creation of more sophisticated programs. The latests versions
can usually be found here.
The List of Modules
|
Version 0.81, 26 July 2004 -
A stemming module with locale support. Uses UTF8 as its base encoding
and provides 'En' (English) support out of the gate. 'De' (German) support
is coming Real Soon Now and support for other languages is planned.
|
Version 1.00, 16 June 1999 -
A module for creating, maintaining and searching inverted indexes. The core function
needed in any medium to large scale search engine.
|
|
Version 1.00, 16 June 1999 -
A general processor of named parameters. Good as a complement to Class::NamedParms
or standalone.
|
Version 1.00, 16 June 1999 -
A lightweight named parameter handling system designed as a base class for classes
wanting generic named parameter accessors without a lot of pain.
|
|
Version 1.00, 16 June 1999 -
Provides a lightweight persistent disk based LRU cache capable of storing complex structures
via a both a tied and an object interface.
|
Version 1.00, 16 June 1999 -
Transparently splits a Berkeley DB_File database into several files to
allow a system with OS file size limitations to exceed those limits
up to the size of the disk partition.
|
|
Version 0.41, 09 June 1999 -
Allows you to use lists as the keys for multi-level hashes.
Excellent for parse tree generation and other similar tasks
where you need to create very deep trees or the tree depth is not
known in advance. A real performance win on very deep trees over
'walking the tree' starting from the root node.
Use Examples:
$hash{[@key_list]} = 'Hello';
$lkh->put(\@key_list,'Hello');
|
Version 1.16, 12 November 2004 -
A lightweight alternative to the CGI.pm module shipped with Perl. It is approximately
1/6th the size of CGI.pm but provides largely compatible access to form decoding
and a small number of other tasks essential to writing CGI scripts in Perl.
Designed for people who are comfortable working closely with the HTTP protocal
and writing HTML directly. Supports file uploading as just another transparently
decoded form field.
|
|
Version 1.00 01 August 2000 -
A microweight decoder for decoding the CGI environment variable 'PATH_INFO'
as if it were the QUERY_STRING used by GET/HEAD method CGI forms. This
provides a way to treat 'extra path' information like CGI parameters
easily and in a way that 'stealths' the presence of CGI parameters.
If you need to use CGI with parameters, but also need to be 'search engine
friendly' (or just want 'pretty URLs'), this module may help.
|
Version 1.05 24 October 2000 -
A standard API wrapper for the existing Unicode related modules
(Unicode::Map, Unicode::Map8, Unicode::String, JCode) to give them
all a common simple API so that character set convertors do not need
to know either the underlaying module supporting a specific encoding
or its particular API implementation to do
general character encoding conversions to or from the UTF8 transformation
of Unicode.
|
|
Version 1.02 05 May 2005 -
Canonicalizes text to a specified EOL/EOF convention, repairing any 'mixed' usages. This is intended
to allow the repair of text that may have been editted with inconsistent end-of-line conventions by
canonicalization to a single convention.
