=item L<LWP::JSON::Tiny>

Author: L<SKINGTON|https://metacpan.org/author/SKINGTON>

I'm not sure this really &quot;befits a ::Tiny distribution&quot; just because it's a thin wrapper of something. Please read: <a href="http://blogs.perl.org/users/dan_muey/2014/08/please-dont-use-tiny-unless-it-meets-the-tiny-criteria-thanks.html" re...


=item L<Acme::CPANRatings>

Author: L<PERLANCAR|https://metacpan.org/author/PERLANCAR>

After the last template change of the website which is one year ago, &quot;Was this review helpful&quot; links no longer works. <a href="https://github.com/perlorg/perlweb/issues/232" rel="nofollow">github.com/perlorg/perlweb/issues/232</a>

=item L<Finance::Currency::Convert::WebserviceX>

Author: L<CLACO|https://metacpan.org/author/CLACO>

No longer works. Sigh, looks like there is currently NO working generic currency converter module on CPAN anymore. Every converter module is either: 1) dead; 2) specific for some currencies only.

=item L<Finance::Currency::Convert>

Author: L<JANW|https://metacpan.org/author/JANW>

Uses hard-coded rates in the source code. Does not seem to work anymore: convert() returns zero even after updateRates().

Confirming previous reviewer, the module is a lot slower (~ 20-40x) than other alternatives like Array::Utils or List::MoreUtils when you want to perform basic set operations like union/intersect/diff/symmetric diff.


=item L<Exporter::Easy>

Author: L<NEILB|https://metacpan.org/author/NEILB>

I can see the value of Exporter::Easy (although these days the saving in typing is not as big, with plain Exporter one can just say: use Exporter 'import'; our @EXPORT = qw(a b c)).
<br><br>However I fail to see the value of Exporter::Easiest. I'd rather use plain Perl than some DDL which cannot be checked statically or cannot be syntax-highlighted, just to save some []'s and ()'s (which I can get my editor to help me type them)...
<br><br>In short, I'd rather use plain Exporter than save a few keystrokes but add a non-core dependency.

=item L<App::cpm>

Author: L<SKAJI|https://metacpan.org/author/SKAJI>

Due to parallel processes and defaulting on no_test, can be several times faster than cpanminus (tried installing a module on a vanilla perlbrew instance with local CPAN mirror, which pulled +- 200 distributions, &quot;cpanm -n&quot; took 2m9s, while...

=item L<Zodiac::Chinese>

Author: L<CAVAC|https://metacpan.org/author/CAVAC>

From the doc: &quot;This module generates one's Chinese zodiac. However, for those born in late January to early February, it may be wrong.&quot; Well, a module that might return wrong results is not very useful.

=item L<JSON::MultiValueOrdered>

Author: L<TOBYINK|https://metacpan.org/author/TOBYINK>

I guess if you want to switch JSON implementation more easily with JSON, JSON::PP, and JSON::XS, it's better to use JSON::Tiny::Subclassable instead of JSON::Tiny, because the interface is more similar to JSON{::XS,::PP}, although it's not exactly th...


=item L<JSON::Tiny>

Author: L<DAVIDO|https://metacpan.org/author/DAVIDO>

Ah, the many JSON implementation modules out there...

=item L<Devel::Confess>

Author: L<HAARG|https://metacpan.org/author/HAARG>

Provides some more features compared to Carp::Always, like producing stack trace even when exception is ref/object, color &amp; dump function arguments (so you don't need a separate Carp::Always::Dump and Carp::Always::Color). Recommended.
<br>


=item L<Carp::Always>

Author: L<FERREIRA|https://metacpan.org/author/FERREIRA>

This module works well for string exceptions (e.g. die &quot;some message&quot;), but for ref/object exceptions (e.g. die [404,&quot;Not found&quot;] or die $some_object) it will simply print/return the ref/object and thus no stack trace information ...
<br><br>See also Devel::Confess, which can handle ref/object.

=item L<experimental>

Author: L<LEONT|https://metacpan.org/author/LEONT>

Our prayer has been answered. experimental was added to perl core in 5.19.11


=item L<Exporter::Lite>

Author: L<NEILB|https://metacpan.org/author/NEILB>

Mostly unnecessary. The main premise of this module is that you don't need to inherit to use it. But you also can use Exporter (a core module, BTW) without inherinting it:
<br><br>use Exporter qw(import);
<br>


=item L<Date::Holidays>

Author: L<JONASBN|https://metacpan.org/author/JONASBN>

The idea is good, but a couple of things prevents me from using this interface.
<br><br>First, the use of TryCatch (which brings the Moose ecosystem) makes the startup overhead too high for my taste (about 0.5s on my PC). Which is rather unfortunate because Date::Holidays itself does not use Moose.
<br><br>Second, the interface assumes that a country has a single set of holidays, which is too restrictive in some cases. A more flexible/general interface would allow adding more calendars based not only on country but also religion, special commun...
<br>


=item L<Furl>

Author: L<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.


=item L<Lingua::EN::Inflect>

Author: L<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>


=item L<Lingua::EN::PluralToSingular>

Author: L<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.
