After the last template change of the website which is one year ago, "Was this review helpful" 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.

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().

@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.
=item L<Log::Declare>
Author: L<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).
=item L<Benchmark::Timer>
Author: L<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.
=item L<Getargs::Long>
Author: L<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 mi...
<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.
=item L<Debug::Easy>
Author: L<RKELSCH|https://metacpan.org/author/RKELSCH>
Not as easy as the name might claim. First of all, why do users need to pass B<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 e...

=item L<File::Slurper>
Author: L<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....
=item L<File::Slurp>
Author: L<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.

=item L<Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite>
Author: L<MOZNION|https://metacpan.org/author/MOZNION>
A significantly faster alternative to Perl::PrereqScanner. It's I<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_...

=item L<Logfile::Rotate>
Author: L<PAULG|https://metacpan.org/author/PAULG>
First file rotating module I found and tried. Works, but needs to be modernized a bit. Indirect object notation in doc should be replaced. Bool option takes "yes" or "no", should perhaps be 1 or 0. Capitalization adjustment, perha...

=item L<File::ReadBackwards>
Author: L<PLICEASE|https://metacpan.org/author/PLICEASE>
At the time of this review, I find two modules for reading a file backwards: File::Bidirectional (FBidi) and File::ReadBackwards (FRB).
<br><br>Both modules have roughly the same footprint and minimal dependencies. Both provide OO as well as tie interface. Both respect the $/ setting.
<br><br>FRB pro's:
<br>
- FRB is 15-20% faster than FBidi when reading backwards;
<br><br>FRB con's:
<br>
- does not offer the feature of reading forward as well, but of course this is not the goal of the module.
<br><br>FBidi's POD contains information on benchmarks (it's roughly an order of magnitude slower than raw Perl's open+read/diamond operator, still the case in 2014). While FRB's POD contains information on how the thing works behind the scenes.
