        A nice, minimalistic, terminal-based user interface for browsing
        your database and tables. Might be useful for simple cases.
        <br><br>It would be *much* more useful if usernames/passwords,
        queries, and other settings can be saved in a config/session file.

    Locale::Maketext
        Author: TODDR <https://metacpan.org/author/TODDR>

        Users might want to check out this article on why one should perhaps
        use Locale::TextDomain instead of Locale::Maketext: <a

    Curses::Toolkit
        Nice effort, but one might also want to look at Tickit, which is not
        curses-based and looks more promising. Being based on Curses, this
        module still suffers from the many bugs and limitations of curses.
        The lack of Shift-Tab support, for one. <br><br>See also: <a

    Moo::Lax
        Author: DAMS <https://metacpan.org/author/DAMS>

        Great idea! I've been bitten and annoyed by strictures on more than
        one occasion. It has its uses, but users should have a choice on how
        to react to warnings. <br>

    App::YTDL
        This module is based on WWW::YouTube::Download but its documentation
        does not yet explain how it differs from WWW::YouTube::Download.
        From what I see at a glance, App::YTDL supports downloading a video
        from a playlist and setting download speed limit, but perhaps the
        author should do the mode detailed explaining to help users when to
        choose between the two. <br>

    Data::CompactDump
        Author: MILSO <https://metacpan.org/author/MILSO>

        At the current form, simply too simplistic to be an alternative to
        Data::Dump or Data::Dumper. No support for blessed refs,
        filehandle/globs, circular references, and so on. Changes numbers to
        stringy numbers or vice versa. <br><br>Currently also contains some
        bugs like for -1 (changes it to string), &quot;\&quot; (produces
        invalid dump, does not handle backslash yet currently), <br><br>And
        Data::Dump's dump of {} and [] are currently more compact ;-)
        <br><br>Need to be improved significantly first. But keep up the
        effort.

    P   Author: LAWALSH <https://metacpan.org/author/LAWALSH>

        I personally don't mind the namespace choice. There are other
        single-letter CPAN modules too like B, L, U, V. If you have a beef
        with regard to namespace, don't single out P and perhaps downvote
        the other modules too. <br><br>Having said that, I would like to
        comment on the design and implementation of this module. <br><br>1)
        The choice of Unicode character U+2204 as representation of undef.
        Unless one does something like 'binmode STDOUT, &quot;:utf8&quot;',
        with 'say P undef' I am just trading one warning (&quot;Use of
        uninitialized value&quot;) with another (&quot;Wide character in
        say/print&quot;). The wide character warning is avoided if you do 'P
        &quot;%s&quot;, undef' though, which means... <br><br>2) P loads
        utf8 by default. For ultra-lightweight cases, this is sometimes not
        desirable. There is currently no way to turn this off. <br><br>3)
        The arbitrary choice of three levels deep when printing references.
        This can be customized but with an unusual syntax. But again, the
        arbitrary choice of three. <br><br>4) The &quot;complex&quot; rules
        of newline printing. p() is like puts, it can optionally add a
        newline. But unlike puts, the doc says it can also remove newlines.
        The behavior can also change if the string to be printed ends with
        0x83. <br><br>I might use P for a sprintf/printf replacement, but
        for debugging values, I'd prefer something &quot;dumber&quot; like
        Data::Dump::Color (or Data::Printer, if that's your thing).

    Xporter
        Author: LAWALSH <https://metacpan.org/author/LAWALSH>

        A couple of comments. First, if you want to import the default
        exports *as well as* some additional others, you can use Exporter's
        feature (the :DEFAULT tag): <br><br>use SomeModule qw(:DEFAULT a b
        c); <br><br>or you can also &quot;use&quot; twice: <br><br>use
        SomeModule; # imports default exports <br><br>use SomeModule qw(a b
        c); # import a, b, c <br><br>Second, if you use Xporter, your module
        will behave unlike most CPAN modules out there, because a majority
        of modules use Exporter. When people see this Perl code: <br><br>use
        SomeModule qw(a b c); <br><br>normally they will expect only a, b,
        and c are exported. If SomeModule uses Xporter, it will also by
        default export the default exports. <br><br>Basically Xporter is
        just Exporter with a different default (not arguably better or more
        user-friendly). For the sake of minimizing surprise to my users, I
        would avoid the use of Xporter. <br><br>UPDATE 2014-01-24: some
        edits. I appreciate the effort of the author to defend her module,
        though I am not convinced by her arguments.

    Dist::Zilla::Shell
        Author: DOLMEN <https://metacpan.org/author/DOLMEN>

        Nice tool that lets you type dzil commands like 'build', 'test', etc
        while sending all the other unknown commands like 'ls -l', 'man Foo'
        to the underlying shell. Also lets you avoid multiple startup
        overhead of dzil :-)

    CPANPLUS::Shell::Curses
        Author: MARCUS <https://metacpan.org/author/MARCUS>

        Unmaintained. Installs but no longer runs.

        Rating: 2/10

    Task::Mechanistic
        If you peek into its Makefile.PL, you'll see a seemingly
        random/heterogenous collection of modules to install (instead of
        just WWW::Mechanize). This is probably a Task::BeLike::$AUTHOR in
        disguise. <br><br>

    Sereal
        Author: YVES <https://metacpan.org/author/YVES>

        So far the best of the bunch. <br><br>FAST: much faster than
        Storable, roughly the same speed as (sometimes slightly faster than)
        Data::Clone for cloning. <br><br>FEATUREFUL: Can handle circular
        references, Regexp objects (trips out-of-the-box Storable),
        JSON::{PP,XS}::Boolean objects (trips Data::Clone). <br><br>COMPACT:
