libxml-grove-perl

Perl module for accessing parsed *ML instances

The XML::Grove module provides simple access to the information set of parsed XML, HTML, or SGML instances using a tree of Perl hashes. This package also includes several extensions to XML::Grove that provide the following:

libhash-asobject-perl

Perl modules to treat hashes as objects

A Hash::AsObject is a blessed hash that provides read-write access to its elements using accessors. (Actually, they're both accessors and mutators.)

dh-acc

debhelper addon to compare ABI compatibility of shared C/C++ library versions

dh-acc is an addon to facilitate generating ABI compatibility reports by comparing known ABI dumps with newly build ABI at Debian package build time. Thus providing monitoring and early detection of ABI breaks in shared libraries.

libcrypt-pbkdf2-perl

Perl implementation of PBKDF2 password hash

PBKDF2 (part of the PKCS#5 standard) is a secure password hashing algorithm that uses the techniques of "key strengthening" to make the complexity of a brute-force attack arbitrarily high. The Crypt::PBKDF2 module supports SHA-1, SHA-2 and SHA-3 as the underlying hash functions natively and can also use arbitrary Digest-compatible classes. It allows for an arbitrary number of iterations of the hashing function, and a nearly unlimited output hash size (up to 2**32 - 1 times the size of the output of the backend hash). The hash is salted, as any password hash should be, and the salt may also be of arbitrary size.

libdesktop-notify-perl

Perl module which communicates with the Desktop Notifications framework

This module provides a Perl interface to the Desktop Notifications framework.

libscalar-string-perl

Perl module concerning the string aspects of scalars

Scalar::String is about the string part of plain Perl scalars. A scalar has a string value, which is notionally a sequence of Unicode codepoints, but may be internally encoded in either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. In places, and more so in older versions of Perl, the internal encoding shows through. To fully understand Perl strings it is necessary to understand these implementation details.
