        {
            module => 'L',
            description => <<'MARKDOWN',

One of the "module autoloader" modules, which happens to have a short name for
one-liner usage. So instead of having to type this:

    % perl -MOrg::Parser::Tiny -E'$doc = Org::Parser::Tiny->new->parse_file("/home/budi/todo.org"); ...'

you can now write:

    % perl -ML -E'$doc = Org::Parser::Tiny->new->parse_file("/home/budi/todo.org"); ...'

"Module autoloader" modules work using Perl's autoloading mechanism (read
`perlsub` for more details). By declaring a subroutine named `AUTOLOAD` in the
`UNIVERSAL` package, you setup a fallback mechanism when you call an undefined
subroutine. <pm:L>'s AUTOLOADER loads the module using <pm:Module::Load> then
try to invoke the undefined subroutine once again.

            tags => ['module-loading'],
        },

        {
            module => 'lib::xi',
            description => <<'MARKDOWN',

This module can automatically install missing module during run-time using
`cpanm`. Convenient when running a Perl script (that comes without a proper
distribution or `cpanfile`) that uses several modules which you might not have.
The alternative to lib::xi is the "trial and error" method: repeatedly run the
Perl script to see which module it tries and fails to load.

lib::xi works by installing a hook in `@INC`.

        {
            module => 'Log::ger::App',
            description => <<'MARKDOWN',

A convenient way to display (consume) logs if your application uses
<pm:Log::ger> to produce logs.

        {
            module => 'DD::Dummy',
            description => <<'MARKDOWN',

My preference when dumping data structure when debugging Perl application is,
well, Perl format (unlike some others which prefer custom format like
<pm:Data::Printer>). The DD-Dummy distribution provides <pm:DD> module, which in
turn exports `dd` to dump your data structures for debugging using
<pm:Data::Dump>. Another good alternative is <pm:XXX> which by default uses YAML
output but can be changed with this environment variable setting:

    PERL_XXX_DUMPER=Data::Dump

MARKDOWN
            alternate_modules => ['XXX', 'Data::Printer'],

        },

        {
            module => 'Devel::Confess',
            description => <<'MARKDOWN',

Forces stack trace when your application warns or dies. Used with the perl's
`-d` flag:

    % perl -d:Confess ...
    % perl -d:Confess=dump ...

        },

        {
            module => 'Carp::Patch::Config',
            description => <<'MARKDOWN',

<pm:Carp> is used as a stack trace printer (also indirectly if you use
<pm:Devel::Confess>). Sometimes you want to customize some Carp parameters like
$Carp::MaxArgNums and $Carp::MaxArgLen from the command-line, and this is where
this module helps.

Shortcut when connecting to MySQL database in your one-liner. Instead of:

    % perl -MDBI -E'my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:database=mydb", "someuser", "somepass"); $dbh->selectrow_array("query"); ...'

you can type:

    % perl -MDBIx::Conn::MySQL=mydb -E'$dbh->selectrow_array("query"); ...'

Shortcut when connecting to MySQL database in your one-liner. Instead of:

one-liners.

=item L<L>

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

One of the "module autoloader" modules, which happens to have a short name for
one-liner usage. So instead of having to type this:

 % perl -MOrg::Parser::Tiny -E'$doc = Org::Parser::Tiny->new->parse_file("/home/budi/todo.org"); ...'

you can now write:

 % perl -ML -E'$doc = Org::Parser::Tiny->new->parse_file("/home/budi/todo.org"); ...'

"Module autoloader" modules work using Perl's autoloading mechanism (read
C<perlsub> for more details). By declaring a subroutine named C<AUTOLOAD> in the
C<UNIVERSAL> package, you setup a fallback mechanism when you call an undefined
subroutine. L<L>'s AUTOLOADER loads the module using L<Module::Load> then
try to invoke the undefined subroutine once again.


=item L<lib::xi>

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

This module can automatically install missing module during run-time using
C<cpanm>. Convenient when running a Perl script (that comes without a proper
distribution or C<cpanfile>) that uses several modules which you might not have.
The alternative to lib::xi is the "trial and error" method: repeatedly run the
Perl script to see which module it tries and fails to load.

lib::xi works by installing a hook in C<@INC>.


Alternate modules: L<Require::Hook::More>

=item L<Log::ger::App>

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

A convenient way to display (consume) logs if your application uses
L<Log::ger> to produce logs.


=item L<DD::Dummy>

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

My preference when dumping data structure when debugging Perl application is,
well, Perl format (unlike some others which prefer custom format like
L<Data::Printer>). The DD-Dummy distribution provides L<DD> module, which in
turn exports C<dd> to dump your data structures for debugging using
L<Data::Dump>. Another good alternative is L<XXX> which by default uses YAML
output but can be changed with this environment variable setting:

 PERL_XXX_DUMPER=Data::Dump


Alternate modules: L<XXX>, L<Data::Printer>

=item L<Devel::Confess>

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

Forces stack trace when your application warns or dies. Used with the perl's
C<-d> flag:

 % perl -d:Confess ...
 % perl -d:Confess=dump ...


=item L<Carp::Patch::Config>

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

L<Carp> is used as a stack trace printer (also indirectly if you use
L<Devel::Confess>). Sometimes you want to customize some Carp parameters like
$Carp::MaxArgNums and $Carp::MaxArgLen from the command-line, and this is where
this module helps.

=item L<DBIx::Conn::SQLite>

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

Shortcut when connecting to MySQL database in your one-liner. Instead of:

 % perl -MDBI -E'my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=mydb", "", ""); $dbh->selectrow_array("query"); ...'
