view release on metacpan or search on metacpan
incompatible with one another. And that's why TIMTOWTDI. <br><br>For
the task of just listing files in an archive, for example, it seems
only Archive::Tar and Archive::Tar::Wrapper are usable. Archive::Tar
is a core module, but relatively slow, and extracts all contents of
an archive in memory so it's not workable for huge archives. <br>
Hash::Util::Pick
Author: PINE <https://metacpan.org/author/PINE>
One can easily use this idiom instead: <br><br>$picked = { map
{(exists $hash{$*} ? ($*=>$hash{$*}):())} @keys }; <br><br>or:
<br><br>$picked = { map {$*=>$hash{$*}} grep {exists $hash{$*}}
@keys }; <br><br>or (if you want non-existing picked keys to be
created instead): <br><br>$picked = { map {$_ => $hash{$_}} @keys
}; <br><br>but Hash::Util::Pick is implemented in XS and can be a
few times faster than the above when the number of keys has reached
thousands. So I guess this module has its uses.
NetObj::IPv4Address
Author: HEEB <https://metacpan.org/author/HEEB>
Cons: more heavyweight (requires Moo), limited operations/methods,
can only handle IPv4 and not IPv6. Pros: some operations are faster
than competing modules, e.g. validation. See also: NetAddr::IP,
Net::CIDR. <br>
NetObj::MacAddress
Author: HEEB <https://metacpan.org/author/HEEB>
Aside from being Moo-based (which, makes it a bit more heavyweight
and with more dependencies), doesn't yet offer anything extra or
more methods compared to previously existing modules like
NetAddr::MAC.

Acme::AsciiArtinator
Author: MOB <https://metacpan.org/author/MOB>
Cool. Now you can create your own Camel Code with ease!
Object::Simple
Author: KIMOTO <https://metacpan.org/author/KIMOTO>
I'd say in terms of footprint and runtime performance, this module
is average (it's not the most lightweight nor the fastest pure-perl
object system, not to mention against XS ones). See my
Bencher::Scenarios::Accessors for a comparison, e.g. <a
href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Bencher::Scenario::Accessors::Get"
rel="nofollow">metacpan.org/pod/Bencher::Scenario::A...</a> and <a
href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Bencher::Scenario::Accessors::Set"
rel="nofollow">metacpan.org/pod/Bencher::Scenario::A...</a> .
<br><br>One drawback of using Mojo::Base and Object::Simple is its
similar but slightly different and incompatible syntax with the Moo*
family, so your code is not "upgradable" to Moo or Moose
once you need more features. And often you'll end up wanting them,
e.g. one day you'll probably read about the wonders of method
modifiers (before, after, around), or roles, or wanting to have a
lazy constructor, or triggers, and so on. <br><br>I'd recommend
instead Mo. It's more lightweight than Object::Simple and you can do
default value, builder, ro/rw, required, even coercion. But the
features are modular and you only pay for what you use. And once you
need more features later, you normally should be able to just
replace 'use Mo' in your code with 'use Moo' or 'use Moose'.
<br><br>Of course, this point is moot if you don't care about
compatibility/upgradability to Moo*.

Test::Needs
Author: HAARG <https://metacpan.org/author/HAARG>
Nice. API is more convenient to use than Test::Requires, especially
if you use subtests. <br>
HTTP::Command::Wrapper
Author: PINE <https://metacpan.org/author/PINE>
There are a few use-cases where this would be useful (mostly, to
access https websites in the absence of required perl library like
LWP::Protocol::https), but it would be more useful to provide an API
that is already familiar to Perl programmers. That's why MIYAGAWA
created HTTP::Tinyish.
File::Util
Author: TOMMY <https://metacpan.org/author/TOMMY>
Point for documentation (lots of examples and cookbook). But the
recipes in the cookbook currently don't really entice me to use the
module. Let's see: <br><br>1) batch file rename: it's much simpler
to use 'rename' or 'perlmv' utility. Or, it's much shorter to just
use plain perl like 'for (grep {-f} <*>) { rename $*,
s/.log$/.txt/r }'. <br><br>2) recursively remove a directory tree:
it's much shorter to just use 'File::Path::remove*tree()'.
<br><br>3) increment a counter file: no locking (it's classic 1990's
counter.cgi race condition all over again). Take a look at, for
example, The Perl Cookbook chapter 7.11. Or I think one of Randal
Schwartz's articles. <br><br>As an alternative, one can also take a
look at Path::Tiny.
Common::Routine
Author: PEKINGSAM <https://metacpan.org/author/PEKINGSAM>
A couple of comments: <br><br>* Some functions like min(), max(),
etc need not be reinvented because they are already in core module
List::Util. But I guess the author wants to be able to say
min([1,2,3]) in addition to min(1,2,3). <br><br>* round() uses
Number::Format, note that rounding number using this module is
hundreds of times slower than using sprintf(). <br><br>
Submodules
Author: ZARABOZO <https://metacpan.org/author/ZARABOZO>
A couple of prior arts: <br><br>* all, <a
href="https://metacpan.org/pod/all"
rel="nofollow">metacpan.org/pod/all</a> (since 2003), nicer
interface and offers "use"/compile-time interface, so it's
more equivalent to the statements it wants to replace. The
Submodules equivalent would be: BEGIN { for my $i
(Submodules->find("Blah")) { $i->require } }.
<br><br>* Module::Require, <a
href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Module::Require"
rel="nofollow">metacpan.org/pod/Module::Require</a> (since 2001),
also nicer interface, more flexible, and more lightweight
implementation. <br><br>I don't like Submodules' interface, it's too
verbose and clunky. IMO, the interface should be a one-liner and
without manual looping.
Regexp::Assemble
Author: RSAVAGE <https://metacpan.org/author/RSAVAGE>
I guess it depends on your data, but for random shortish strings
(hundreds to thousands of them), I find that using raw joining is
much faster to assemble the regex. And the resulting regex is also
(much) faster to match. Please see Bencher::Scenario::RegexpAssemble
if you're interested in the benchmark script.
Tie::Scalar::Callback
Author: DFARRELL <https://metacpan.org/author/DFARRELL>
custom calendars. <br>
Furl
Author: SYOHEX <https://metacpan.org/author/SYOHEX>
@Kira S (I wish cpanratings adds a feature to comment on a review):
<br><br>Comparing WWW::Mechanize with Furl is not really
apples-to-apples, since Furl does not support parsing/following
links or form processing. As the Furl POD itself suggests, Furl is
positioned as a faster alternative to LWP, not WWW::Mechanize.
Lingua::EN::Inflect
Author: DCONWAY <https://metacpan.org/author/DCONWAY>
Just add this review to link to Ben Bullock's
Lingua::EN::PluralToSingular if you need to go the other way
(converting English noun from plural to singular). <br><br>BTW, I
don't like the interface either, and wonder why the Env module needs
to be involved. <br>
Lingua::EN::PluralToSingular
Author: BKB <https://metacpan.org/author/BKB>
Not perfect or exhaustive, but good enough and lightweight. With a
dead-simple interface. Just the sort of libraries that are reusable
almost everywhere. Thanks for this. <br><br>Also, this might not be
immediately obvious since there's no mention on the See Also
section: to go the other way (converting English noun from singular
to plural) you can use Lingua::EN::Inflect.
Log::Declare
Author: CHGOVUK <https://metacpan.org/author/CHGOVUK>
I haven't used or evaluated this module in detail, but if there is
one advantage to using procedural/command syntax: <br><br>info blah;
<br><br>as opposed to object syntax: <br><br>$log->info(blah);
<br><br>then this module clearly demonstrates it. Using
Devel::Declare (or the Perl 5.14+ keyword API), the former can be
easily rewritten as something like: <br><br>info && blah;
<br><br>or: <br><br>if (CONST_LOG_INFO) { info blah } <br><br>and
during compilation, Perl can optimize the line away and we get zero
run-time penalty when logging (level) is disabled.
<br><br>(Actually, it's also possible for the object syntax to get
rewritten, e.g. using source filter, but it's more cumbersome).
Benchmark::Timer
Author: DCOPPIT <https://metacpan.org/author/DCOPPIT>
Nice alternative module for benchmarking with a different interface
than Benchmark (marking portion of code to be benchmarked with start
and stop). <br><br>For most Perl programmers familiar to the core
module Benchmark, I recommend looking at Benchmark::Dumb first
though. It has an interface like Benchmark (cmpthese() et all) but
with some statistical confidence.
Getargs::Long
Author: DCOPPIT <https://metacpan.org/author/DCOPPIT>
Nice idea, but some performance concerns. If you want to use
cgetargs (the compiled, faster version), you are restricted to the
getargs() interface, which only features checking for required
arguments and supplying default value. In which case you might as
well use Params::Validate directly as it's several times (e.g. 3-4x)
faster. <br><br>If you want to use the more featured xgetargs, there
is currently no compiled version. <br><br>All in all, I think users
should take a look at Params::Validate first.
Debug::Easy
Author: RKELSCH <https://metacpan.org/author/RKELSCH>
Not as easy as the name might claim. First of all, why do users need
to pass LINE explicitly for every call??? Other logging modules will
get this information automatically via caller(). <br><br>Levels are
a bit confusing: why is debug split to 2 (or 3)? <br><br>Not as
flexible as it should be because the design conflates some things
together. For example, most levels output to STDERR but some level
(VERBOSE) outputs to STDOUT instead. The output concern and levels
should've been separated. Another example would be the DEBUGWAIT
level, where level is DEBUG *and* execution is halted (wait on a
keypress) on log. What if users want a lower level setting *but*
want execution to be halted on log? The halt/keypress setting
should've been separated from the level.

File::Slurper
Author: LEONT <https://metacpan.org/author/LEONT>
Who'da thought that something as seemingly simple as "slurping
a file into a string" would need several modules and false
starts? Well, if you add encodings, Perl I/O layers, scalar/list
context, DWIM-ness, ... it can get complex and buggy. I'm glad there
are people taking care of this and making sure that a simple task
stays simple and correct.
File::Slurp
Author: CAPOEIRAB <https://metacpan.org/author/CAPOEIRAB>
Use the newer File::Slurper instead, which has a clearer API (e.g.
text vs binary, array/lines vs string) and encoding default. It's
arguably "saner" than File::Slurp and File::Slurp::Tiny.

Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite
Author: MOZNION <https://metacpan.org/author/MOZNION>
A significantly faster alternative to Perl::PrereqScanner. It's
*almost* a drop-in replacement, there might still be some bugs in
missing detecting some modules, and you still have to do several
add_extra_scanner() calls like
$scanner->add_extra_scanner('Moose') to match the behavior of
Perl::PrereqScanner. <br><br>

What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation,
you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules
script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n Import::CPANRatings::User::perlancar
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules
distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries Import::CPANRatings::User::perlancar | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=Import::CPANRatings::User::perlancar -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::Import::CPANRatings::User::perlancar -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::Import::CPANRatings::User::perlancar::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful
result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See
App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules"
are found.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
