This module provides functions that deals with formatting data with
Content-Type 'text/plain; format=flowed' as described in RFC2646
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt). In a nutshell,
format=flowed text solves the problem in plain text files where it
is not known which lines can be considered a logical paragraph,
enabling lines to be automatically flowed (wrapped and/or joined)
as appropriate when displaying.
In format=flowed, a soft newline is expressed as " \n", while hard
newlines are expressed as "\n". Soft newlines can be automatically
deleted or inserted as appropriate when the text is reformatted.

This provides a simple interface to Plucene. Plucene is large and multi-
featured, and it expected that users will subclass it, and tie all the
pieces together to suit their own needs. Plucene::Simple is, therefore,
just one way to use Plucene. It's not expected that it will do exactly
what *you* want, but you can always use it as an example of how to
build your own interface.

Bastardize provides an magical object into which text can be charged
and then returned in various, slighty modified ways.
Among others, bastardize has the following methods:
rdct converts english to hyperreductionist english
(ex. "english" becomes "")
pig pig latin
(ex. "hi there" becomes "ihay erethay")
k3wlt0k a k3wlt0kizer developed originally by Fmh
rot13 implements rot13 "encryption" in perl
(ex. "foo bar" becomes "sbb one")
rev reverses the arrangement of characters
censor attempts to censor text which might be innaproriate
n20e performs numerical abbreviations
(ex. "numerical_abbreviation" becomes "n20e")

This is an XS wrapper around some Unicode Consortium code to check if
a string is valid UTF-8, revised to conform to what expat/Mozilla
think is valid UTF-8, especially with regard to low-ASCII characters.
Note that this module has NOTHING to do with Perl's internal UTF8 flag
on scalars.
This module is for use when you're getting input from users and want
to make sure it's valid UTF-8 before continuing.

The goals of this project are simple:
Create a highly configurable, easily modifiable source code beautifier.
What it does:
* Ident code, aligning on parens, assignments, etc
* Align on '=' and variable definitions
* Align structure initializers
* Align #define stuff
* Align backslash-newline stuff
* Reformat comments (a little bit)
* Fix inter-character spacing
* Add or remove parens on return statements
* Add or remove braces on single-statement if/do/while/for statements
* Highly configurable - 118 configurable options as of version 0.0.15

- by default, textproc/aspell installs the English dictionaries (no
change);
- thereafter you can install any foreign dictionary;
- when you install a foreign dictionary, i.e. french/aspell or
textproc/da-aspell, it installs only the dictionaries, and depends
upon textproc/aspell for the programs;
- if you don't need the English dictionaries, you can define
WITHOUT_DICTEN or install textproc/aspell-without-dicten;
- add a new port for textproc/en-aspell: if aspell had been installed
without the English dictionaries, they can be added thereafter;
- add a missing port for german/alt-aspell;
- foreign dictionaries are almost independent from textproc/aspell,
and their maintainership is available.

The file format is well-supported, with the exception of the
"linearized" or "optimized" output format, which this module can read
but not write. Many specific aspects of the document model are not
manipulable with this package (like fonts), but if the input document
is correctly written, then this module will preserve the model
integrity.
This library grants you some power over the PDF security model. Note
that applications editing PDF documents via this library MUST respect
the security preferences of the document. Any violation of this
respect is contrary to Adobe's intellectual property position, as
stated in the reference manual at the above URL.

JSON::Syck is supposed to be very fast and memory efficient. See

XML::RSS::Parser is a lightweight liberal parser of RSS feeds. This parser
is "liberal" in that it does not demand compliance of a specific RSS version
and will attempt to gracefully handle tags it does not expect or understand.
The parser's only requirements is that the file is well-formed XML and
remotely resembles RSS. Roughly speaking, well formed XML with a channel
element as a direct sibling or the root tag and item elements etc.
There are a number of advantages to using this module then just using
a standard parser-tree combination. There are a number of different RSS
formats in use today. In very subtle ways these formats are not entirely
compatible from one to another. XML::RSS::Parser makes a couple assumptions
to "normalize" the parse tree into a more consistent form. For instance,
it forces channel and item into a parent-child relationship.

Fakeroot runs a command in an environment were it appears to have
root privileges for file manipulation, by setting LD_PRELOAD to a
library with alternative versions of getuid(), stat(), etc. This
is useful for allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, .deb .rpm
etc.) with files in them with root permissions/ownership. Without
fakeroot one would have to have root privileges to create the
constituent files of the archives with the correct permissions and
ownership, and then pack them up, or one would have to construct
the archives directly, without using the archiver.
