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().

=item L<Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ReadmeFromPod>
Author: L<FAYLAND|https://metacpan.org/author/FAYLAND>
Has some problems, e.g. it uses InstallTool phase so it conflicts with DZP:StaticInstall when wanting to produce a static install distro. Use alternatives like the simpler DZP:Pod2Readme or the more complex DZP:ReadmeAnyFromPod.

Interesting features, but mooseware.

Happily returns result when graph is cyclic (and thus proper topological sorting cannot be done). See also Data::Graph::Util for a simpler alternative.

Author: L<PETDANCE|https://metacpan.org/author/PETDANCE>
File::Find lacks the "making easy things easy" part, so modules like this are great. A further step would be an option to omit $wanted for even simpler cases, but that would probably break the interface. Another alternative is File::Finder,...

=item L<Hash::MD5>
Author: L<MZIESCHA|https://metacpan.org/author/MZIESCHA>
Since this is essentially md5(dump($data)), why restrict yourself to hash? This works also for any kind of Perl data structure.
=item L<DateTime::Format::Docker>

Isn't this basically ISO8601 (see DateTime::Format::ISO8601)?

=item L<Tie::Scalar::Callback>
Author: L<DFARRELL|https://metacpan.org/author/DFARRELL>
There is a prior art Tie::Simple (created in 2004) which works for scalar as well as the other types of ties that perl supports (array, hash, handle).
<br>
=item L<JSON::Create>
Author: L<BKB|https://metacpan.org/author/BKB>
Review for 0.02: Performance-wise, still has some catching up to do against JSON::XS & Cpanel::JSON::XS with regards to encoding arrays & hashes.
<br><br>UPDATE review for 0.19: Giving it 4 stars now. Speed has been improving and on-par/slightly better than the other JSON XS modules in some areas, while a bit worse in some other areas. Faster modules are always welcome.
Rating: 8/10
=item L<Set::Scalar>
Author: L<DAVIDO|https://metacpan.org/author/DAVIDO>
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<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 & 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 "some message"), but for ref/object exceptions (e.g. die [404,"Not found"] 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<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);

=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...

=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.
=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...

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<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.
<br><br>In summary, both modules are roughly the same. I'd prefer FRB unless in the rarer cases where I need bidirectional reading.

<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>FBidi con's:

- FBidi is 15-20% slower than FBidi when reading backwards;

- reading forward is just as slow as backward, so if you only need to read forward, obviously there's no need to use this module;

The part that makes this module convenient is that the functions return their original arguments. So when debugging (peppering dump statements), you don't have to change this:
<br><br>return ["some", $expr];
<br><br>to this (taking an example from another dumping module, Data::Dump):
<br><br>my $tmp = ["some", $expr]; dd $tmp; return $tmp;
<br><br>but just this:
<br><br>return YYY ["some", $expr];
<br><br>This should be imitated by the other dumper functions.
