in reply to Favourite modules April 2003

++ Juerd for a good idea.

I am currently using a host of modules which I have varying success with. But as I do most of my work on Win32 platforms I use mostly modules that make my life easier in that environment.

  • Win32::Daemon
    		•  #Manipulate the Win32 Service]
  • Win32::Process
    		• #Spawn external process'.
  • Win32::EventLog
    		• #Needed to send messages to the NT eventlog
  • Win32::EventLog::Message
    		• #Use this and you don't need a Message DLL
  • Win32::API
  • XML::Simple
    		• #For the Managed Domain Cust Mapping
  • File::Copy
    		• #To Move the XML form the xmlout dir to the relevant callout dir
  • Win32::TieRegistry
    		• #Read and Update/Create Win32 Registry Keys
  • DBI
  • DBD::ODBC
  • CGI
  • IO::Socket
    		• #Part of Core
  • IO::Select
    		• #Part of Core
  • Email::Valid
    		• #Validate email addresses for good form as well as DNS checks

    I could go on but theses are really the basis of most of what I do..;)
