SVK — Rating: 5 stars
I absolutely love svk. For me git is quite a bit too clunky. In my opinion, git makes stuff complicated for the user to make things easy for the branch manager.
Svk gives you all of the branch management features needed while the users stick with a familiar interface. In some cases, I just use svk for the branch management and the users continue using svn. They don't even know they are using a svk managed repository. NICE!
Gave it a 3 for documentation, but it definitely has everything you need to get started. It has a lot of dependencies and can be what some people call one of those tricky modules to install. But if you are a CPAN expert you'll have no trouble.
If it wasn't for svk my days would be a lot longer. Thanks svk team!

Great idea. Excellent documentation.Win32-DriveInfo — Rating: 4 stars
Lists FreeSpace and more on Drives.
Fine. Did what i expected.POE — Rating: 5 stars
An indispensable module for event-driven programming.
It makes it easy to write state-transition driven networking code and is bullet-proof and very lightweight in memory and CPU terms.
I've run it on Unix, Windows, and even on a horrible system using ActiveState Perl under Windows XP Embedded on micro hardware with Flash memory.
Excellent module.Parse-MediaWikiDump — Rating: 4 stars
A very useful and _fast_ way to parse MediaWiki dumps. Thank you!Pod-Browser — Rating: 5 stars
Simple, efficient, way to browse local modules, and search CPAN from one -- AJAX-enabled -- interface that is running locally. What more could you want?
Phillip.signatures — Rating: 5 stars
Allowing signatures, i.e. the specifics of the parameters being passed to a subroutine, is a welcome addition to perl to make it more readable. To have this functionality without using the black magic of Source Filters is even better.
Use this module, and its brother Method::Signatures, if you want cleaner, more readable code.bootylicious — Rating: 5 stars
Well, I just want to say thanks to the author of such tiny and clear bloging engine.PostScript-Report — Rating: 5 stars
This is a most excellent module! We have really made good use of it for our reports that we print directly to a printer (hence the use of PostScript.) The source is also excellently factored and a good example of Moose code.Win32-GuiTest — Rating: 5 stars
This module has helped me so many times by automating a tool installation or software toolset. It's considerably easier to use than WinRunner or other automation suites!GDGraph — Rating: 5 stars
I'm using GD::Graph since 6 years. Over the years I tried other graph moduls but ever falling back to GD::Graph. Until today it's still the best one to create graphs - IMHO.
For this great work it's worth to give another 5 stars!Tk — Rating: 4 stars
I am surprised at the adverse comments on Perl/Tk/
Starting with a pretty decent command of C and C++, I found it vastly easier to learn perl and perl/Tk from scratch than to write programs interfacing with the C to Tk toolbox.Filter-Crypto — Rating: 4 stars
I admit that in case some customers request hiding source codes, unfortunately I have no choice but to respond to it against the policy of Perl.
It's absolutely terrible! In which case, though, this module is useful.Padre-Plugin-WebGUI — Rating: 5 stars
Patspam's Padre plugin, being able to edit templates in Padre rather than WebGUI's clunky code editor, and in only a couple of clicks, and without having to have two tabs open in your browser, is only one way it can save you time and money.
Let alone being able to change content on the fly without even opening a browser... Plus the icons for file type are neat!
Well done Patspam.Finance-Currency-Convert — Rating: 5 stars
I agree, simple and more effective than rolling your own.
