I am curious, how long this entry will survive there. It’s actually not referring to an existing article on the Perl Power Tools. It’s just meant to tell “the reader”, hey, there are these nice Perl Power Tools out there, and they also get abbreviated as PPT.
Well, yes, I could create a wikipedia stub page, but it would only have these 2 links:
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781593275204.do:
Perl One-Liners showcases 130 short and compelling lines of code that do all sorts of handy, geeky things. …
Not too bad.
Test::Simple and Test::More have proven to be popular testing modules, but they’re not always flexible enough. Test::Builder provides a building block upon which to write your own test libraries which can work together.

its ancestor log4j:
Log::Log4perl lets you remote-control and fine-tune the logging behaviour of your system from the outside. It implements the widely popular (Java-based) Log4j logging package in pure Perl.
Log4perl is also compatible with log4j’s graphical log analyser Chainsaw.
IO::Compress::Zip – Write zip files/buffers – metacpan.org
I found code, that makes use of this module. The 1st problem, I had to deal with: the file to be written into the ZIP archive and the ZIP archive both get named using absolute pathnames. That’s alright for the ZIP archive, but you usually don’t like archive members with absolute pathnames. The manual page describes, which feature deals with this (“FilterName”), and it also gives a nice and short recipe.
Cvs – Object oriented interface to the CVS command – metacpan.org
It also has a nice module_list method. I would love to know, how to that on the command line outside this module.
