Here's a script to extract telephone entries from a Windows AD via Net::LDAP (thanks g0n!) and output them to a LaTeX file to be process with pdflatex. The results aren't too terrible.
You'll probably need to customize it; we, for example, store "Mobile speed dial" numbers in the "Pager" field. We also deliberately separate based on the physical building — YMMV.
I'd recommend separating the template into a separate file, I included here inline because it's easier to download.

A nice tool for getting to know your unicode or other non-ASCII text data. For all files named in @ARGV, or all data piped to STDIN, we count and report how many times each character occurs, and optionally summarize the quantities according to the current standard set of Unicode "charts" (groupings of characters according to language or function). Also lets you convert legacy encoded data to utf8 on input. Check the POD for details.
(updated to fix a minor glitch involving code points gt "\x{2FA1F}")
(second update: added logic to check for malformed utf8 and adjust output if needed)
(third update: major revision (thanks to Jim) to use unicore/Blocks.txt instead of __DATA__; also added "--names" option, changed "--chart" option to "--blocks", and altered spacing of output table columns)

This allows you to merge two identical-ish directory trees. It won't overwrite any files if there's a conflict.

This does several things to fixup tabular text files to be more regular including: - Removes empty trailing rows
- Adds missing trailing columns
- Warns if the header is missing columns
- Warns if the file isn't a text file
- Warns if there is only one column.
- Dos2unix line ending conversion
Fixes Excel formatted numbers:- (...) parens around negative numbers
- Optional $ sign
- Optional commas

This grep is much like everyone else's perl reimplementation of grep. It's only distinguishing features are automatically looking inside bzip2, gzip, zip, and tar files. It borrows the pretty formatting used by petdance in ack. This started life as an improved version of the grep that comes with the Solaris which isn't recursive.

I've had this lying around for some time. It just takes the output of netstat and summarises the information à la vmstat, iostat. I have used it for keeping an eye on large daemons that have shown a tendency to go mad.
I don't see that there's anything else to add to it, but I'd be interested in seeing if anyone has suggestions and ways it could be improved.
update: now with Win32 support! thanks Discipulus for the suggestion

uhead: "head -c" for utf8 data

This simple command-line utility does for utf8 text data what GNU "head -c N" does for ASCII data: print just the first N characters of files (or STDIN). Since Perl's built-in "read" function is able to read characters (rather than just bytes), this a pretty trivial exercise. But I wanted to post it anyway, because it's a nice demonstration of a fairly complex process (handling variable-width characters) being made really simple.
