There are so many Perl modules available (see CPAN if you don't believe me) of such varying quality that finding a good module to do a particular job can be hard work. And once you've found it it's easy enough to forget which one it was and have to do the whole thing over again.
This is a list, mainly for my benifit but perhaps of use to others, of 'interesting' modules that I've found. In some case I've used them hevily, others just look like they may be useful in the future and may eventually get dropped if I decide I don't like them. Whatever you do, don't assume that this is a list of tried, tested and recommended modules.
This list may have been last updated 2003-02-26. Or later if I forgot to fix the date...
HTML::FromText Conversion of text to HTML, including recognition of common 'plain text' markup styles.
HTML::Entities encoding/decoding HTML special characters. Note that CGI.pm users can alternativly use the encodeHTML() routine from that package.
