(dxiii) metacpan weekly report - HTML::Tree

This is the weekly favourites list of CPAN distributions. Votes count: 55

Week's winner (+3): HTML::Tree

Build date: 2022/07/02 14:54:38 GMT


Clicked for first time:

  • HTTP::Promise - Asynchronous HTTP Request and Promise
  • Lingua::Translate - Translate text from one language to another
  • Syntax::Operator::In - placeholder module for infix element-of-list meta-operator
  • Util::H2O::More - like if bless created accessors for you. Intended for hash reference-based Perl OOP only. This module uses Util::H2O::h2o as the basis for actual object creation; but there's no reason other accessor makers couldn't have been used or can be used. I just really like h2o. :-)
  • WordList::Password::10Million::Top100000 - Top 100,000 passwords from 10_million_password_list
