IO::Event provides an object-based callback system for handling nonblocking IO.
The design goal is to provide a system that just does the right thing without
the user needing to think about it much.
All APIs are kept as simple as possible yet at the same time, all functionality
is accesible if needed. Simple things are easy. Hard things are possible.
Most of the time file handling syntax will work fine: <$filehandle> and print
$filehandle 'stuff'.
IO::Event provides automatic buffering of output (with a callback to throttle).
It provides automatic line-at-a-time input.
After initial setup, call IO::Event::loop().
IO::Event was originally written to use Event. IO::Event still defaults to using
Event but it can now use AnyEvent or its own event loop.

Many Perl distributions use a Build.PL file instead of a Makefile.PL file to
drive distribution configuration, build, test and installation. Traditionally,
Build.PL uses Module::Build as the underlying build system. This module provides
a simple, lightweight, drop-in replacement.
Whereas Module::Build has over 6,700 lines of code; this module has less than
70, yet supports the features needed by most pure-Perl distributions.

ExtUtils::InstallPaths tries to make install path resolution as easy as
possible.
When you want to install a module, it needs to figure out where to install
things. The nutshell version of how this works is that default installation
locations are determined from ExtUtils::Config, and they may be individually
overridden by using the install_path attribute. An install_base attribute lets
you specify an alternative installation root like /home/foo and prefix does
something similar in a rather different (and more complicated) way. destdir lets
you specify a temporary installation directory like /tmp/install in case you
want to create bundled-up installable packages.

When using Moose::Role, a class which provides a method a role provides will
silently override that method. This can cause strange, hard-to-debug errors when
the role's methods are not called. Simple use MooseX::Role::Strict instead of
Moose::Role and overriding a role's method becomes a composition-time failure.
See the synopsis for a resolution.

Term::ProgressBar is a wonderful module for showing progress bars on the
terminal. This module acts very much like that module when it is run
interactively. However, when it is not run interactively (for example,
as a cron job) then it does not show the progress bar.

The pain of having to update your setup.py, your Sphinx conf.py, your
__init__.py & everything else on every release of your Python package sucks.
By putting your version number in a top-level VERSION file & using this
library, you can cut duplication & tedious manual work without having to lean
on crazy import hacks.
Inspired by crazy discussion with George Hickman (ghickman) at PyCon 2013.

Starting with Perl 5.10, it is possible to create a lexical version of the Perl
default variable $_. Certain Perl constructs like the given keyword
automatically use a lexical $_ rather than the global $_.
It is occasionallly useful for a sub to be able to access its caller's $_
variable regardless of whether it was lexical or not. The (_) sub prototype is
the official way to do so, however there are sometimes disadvantages to this; in
particular it can only appear as the final required argument in a prototype, and
there is no way of the sub differentiating between an explicitly passed argument
and $_.
The lexical::underscore function returns a scalar reference to either a lexical
$_ variable somewhere up the call stack (using PadWalker magic), or to the
global $_ if there was no lexical version.
Wrapping lexical::underscore in ${ ... } dereferences the scalar reference,
allowing you to access (and even assign to) it.

are the latest stable releases.
* Update vala to the newest stable release 0.18.1, also update a few ports
in the gtk/gnome stack.
* The c++ bindings ports for glib, atk, gconf, etc, have now USE_GNOME toggles.
* Remove pkg-config run depends from glib20 and freetype2. This doesn't
eliminate pkg-config run dependency completely, a second phase is needed
and is planned.
* Support for .:run. and .:build. for USE_GNOME components was added.
Currently only libxml2 and libxslt support this mechanism.
* Updates of the telepathy stack and empathy.
* Trim makefile headers, convert ports to new options, trim off library
versions for some ports.
* Fix other ports so they build with the new glib version.

The Zend Optimizer+ provides faster PHP execution through opcode caching and
optimization. It improves PHP performance by storing precompiled script
bytecode in the shared memory. This eliminates the stages of reading code from
the disk and compiling it on future access. In addition, it applies a few
bytecode optimization patterns that make code execution faster.
