Besides the CPAN modules listed in the article, what other CPAN modules would you like to see on TechRepublic? How much Perl coding do you?

Not as much as I want to, how's that for a answer with regard to how much Perl coding do I do. Actually, it's on the increase again.

CPAN modules? Right now? Id like to see something on manipulation of ip/broadcast/cidr numbers back and forth. I'm going to be using the Network::IPv4Addr module for a firewall statistical Perl script I am writing at my house.

MySql, I'm going to be using this both at home and work soon. You listed off the date module for that. Will this also do conversion with Date Time stamps????

Thank you by the way for a list of those date modules, I see uses for a couple of them already(cleans dates, regex dates from a string). I'll have to go through that bundle install to see what all is there with regard to what you listed here.

How about some of the GD modules? These require support libraries to be installed and offer multiple functions with regard to images. Conversion of image formats??? creation of thumbnails, GD::SecurityImage - This is very flexible, but a bear to get to work. You can use any font you want with it and it would be an asset to the web developers here.

Just some thoughts...

Any chance of doing something with the DB module and MySql 5.0 stored procedures? Possibly suggested uses for and examples of?

This is something that I think everyone here that does anything with MySql/Perl would appreciate.

thanks again.

Edited:What was I thinking with that origional topic
