in reply to I have contributed a module to CPAN

I have contributed the following modules
  • Array::Reform --- convert 1 dimensional arrays to 2 dimensional arrays where each arrayref is of specified length. E.g. 
    @x=(1,2,3,4,5,6)
Array::Reform->reform(\@x,2);

    [download]
    yields 
    [ [ 1 , 2]  , [ 3 , 4 ] , [ 5, 6] ]

  • Data::Constraint --- make constraint checking of lists of values more concise. E.g. 
    if (nonzero ($value,$value2,$value3)) { ; } if (zero
    ($value,$value2,$value3)) { ; }     # do something when pagemode i
+s one in the list. 

if (any(map { $PAGEMODE
    eq $_ } ('CONFIRM_OFFER', 'VIEW_DETAILS', 'Purchase Item', 'Confir
+m
    Counter Offer')) { handle_these_pagemodes() }

  • Date::Horoscope --- determine what Zodiac sign a certain date falls under (uses Date::Manip)
  • Date::Ordinal --- Conversion of dates to ordinal numbers and vice versa. E.g. 
    use Date::Ordinal;
       
        $ord     = month2ord('January');           # $ord gets 1
        $mon     = ord2month('1');                 # $mon gets 'Januar
+y'
        $mon     = ord2month(1);                   # $mon gets 'Januar
+y'
        $mon     = ord2month('01');                # $mon gets 'Januar
+y'
        $arryref = all_month_ordinations
        @arry    = all_month_names
        $arryref = all_month_names_ref
        $arryref = all_short_month_names_ref
        $arryref = all_day_ordinations         $arryref = all_hour_ord
+inations
        $arryref = all_minute_ordinations         $hashref = ordinatio
+n_month_pair # {'01' => 'January', ... }
        @day     = days

  • HTTP::File --- reduce CGI file uploads to 1 line. E.g. 
    $file_pointer = $cgi->param('file_tag');
$file_upload  = HTTP::File::upload($file_pointer,'/target-dir');

    [download]
  • Locale::US --- Two letter codes for state identification and vice versa. For example, 'AL' is the code for 'Alabama'.
  • Parse::FixedDelimiter --- E.g., 
      use Parse::FixedDelimiter;
       
        $phone_number=803-781-4191;
        Parse::FixedDelimiter::parse($phone_number,
                                     \%moms_phone,
                                     '-',
                                     [ 'area_code', 'exchange', 'numbe
+r' ]);         for (keys %moms_phone) {
          print $_, " ", $moms_phone{$_}, $/;
        }         # yields $moms_phone{area_code} == 803
        #        $moms_phone{exchange}  == 781
        #        $moms_phone{number}    == 4191

  • Parse::FixedLength parse a string containing fixed length fields into component parts. E.g., 
            use Parse::FixedLength;
       
        $phone_number=8037814191;
        parse_FL($phone_number,
                 \%moms_phone,
                 [
                   {'area_code' => 3},
                   {'exchange'  => 3},
                   {'number'    => 4} ] );         for (keys %moms_pho
+ne) {
          print $_, " ", $moms_phone{$_}, $/;
        }         # yields $moms_phone{area_code} == 803
        #        $moms_phone{exchange}  == 781
        #        $moms_phone{number}    == 4191

    Subtract arrays (RE: I have contributed a module to CPAN)

      In the works unless I know of something better: a module to return the subtraction of the contents of arrays.

      You mean something like: 

          # "Subtract" (remove) elements of @minus from @list:
    my %dup;
    @dup{@minus}= ();
    @list= grep { exists $dup{$_} } @list;

      Update: Thanks to PrincePawn for noting that I left out "not" above.

        Set::Scalar has functionality like this.. Set intersections, unions, subsets, etc.
    		[reply]
        This looks like the intersection 
        grep { not exists $dup{$_} } @list

        [download]
        should be the difference.
