Lexical::Persistence is a Perl module for persistent lexical variable values for arbitrary calls.

SYNOPSIS

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Lexical::Persistence;

my $persistence = Lexical::Persistence->new();
foreach my $number (qw(one two three four five)) {
$persistence->call(&target, number => $number);
}

exit;

sub target {
my $arg_number; # Argument.
my $narf_x++; # Persistent.
my $_i++; # Dynamic.
my $j++; # Persistent.

print "arg_number = $arg_numbern";
print "tnarf_x = $narf_xn";
print "t_i = $_in";
print "tj = $jn";

Simple persistence for Java is an object/relation mapping framework for Java. It is designed to be easy to use.
There are no XML files to write, no tables to create, no IDs to generate, and no primary keys to fiddle with; just point it to the database, check the API documentation for three basic methods, and code away.
Simple persistence for Java supports transactions, has its own simple query language (very similar to SQL), and can handle object references, lists, and maps.
You may ask: Why another O/R mapping library? Well.. Ive searched the net for a suitable O/R tool for a long time now, also tried a few in live projects, but each time, at the end of the project, I had always had a few thoughts to simplify the database interaction code. Ive started with EJB around 2000. Now, I think everyone who used EJBs also at least once wondered why saveing a friggin object requires a separate server installation, the extensive knowledge of a 200+ page documentation, generating 3 classes/interfaces per object, installing stubs, rmi, and other things I dont even want to know about. Lets just skip this chapter of my life directly to my last experience with an O/R library: pbeans. This library is generally good, I can recommend it for those, who want a stable O/R mapping tool, but it was not the one for me. I found a few points I couldnt get over:
- Save and insert should be one method. I usually dont care if an object is inserted or saved phisically, as long as its saved.
- It should handle Lists and Maps. Well, "Lists should be enough for everybody", but sometimes Maps are handy too. Lists are used very often, I think it should be handled automatically.
- The query code is too difficult, and at the same time does not offer enough features.
- The code you have to write wont be "pretty". It requires classes to be parameters, at least for queries, and I cant read the query itself.
- The Id handling is not transparent.
Enhancements:
- A major scalability feature has been added: the library is now capable of working in a distributed environment, such as load-balanced Web server clusters.
- All the library nodes connected to the same database will form a self-regulating, self-organizing, failure-tolerant network to manage exclusive resources (such as locks, etc).
- The documentation and site were updated accordingly.

Finance::Quote is a Perl module to get stock and mutual fund quotes from various exchanges.

SYNOPSIS

use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;

$q->timeout(60);

$conversion_rate = $q->currency("AUD","USD");
$q->set_currency("EUR"); # Return all info in Euros.

$q->require_labels(qw/price date high low volume/);

$q->failover(1); # Set failover support (on by default).

%quotes = $q->fetch("nasdaq",@stocks);
$hashref = $q->fetch("nyse",@stocks);

This module gets stock quotes from various internet sources, including Yahoo! Finance, Fidelity Investments, and the Australian Stock Exchange. There are two methods of using this module -- a functional interface that is depreciated, and an object-orientated method that provides greater flexibility and stability.

With the exception of straight currency exchange rates, all information is returned as a two-dimensional hash (or a reference to such a hash, if called in a scalar context). For example:

%info = $q->fetch("australia","CML");
print "The price of CML is ".$info{"CML","price"};

The first part of the hash (eg, "CML") is referred to as the stock. The second part (in this case, "price") is referred to as the label.

LiveJournal Quote is a Firefox extension that tires to make our communication in LJ more easy. It makes quotes.
How does it works?
1) You can write in post-form tags [quote]Text[/quote] and on clicking the Send-button tags will be converted in html-quote (Div element)
2) You can also select some text on page, right-click, and choose Quote: "Selected Text" and your selected text will be quoted in Send-form.
3) You can easily modify the quote-element as you want. Just open "Settings" in Tools menu, and youll be able to edit CSS code of our Quote-elements

Open Source Quotes DataBase is a Web site which is very similar in style to the bash.org QDB. Open Source Quotes DataBase is designed for people who would like to run their own quote sites.
Enhancements:
- The ability has been added for all admin users to change their own passwords, including mods.
- An error on some systems that stopped you from changing the admin password has been fixed.
- The voting page bug has been fixed.
- This will need a complete rewrite at a later stage.
- The browse function has been rewritten so that there are fewer problems with the page number output.
- The "Hacking Attempt" code has been fixed.

Text::Quote contains quotes strings as required for perl to eval them back correctly.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Quote;

my @quotes=map{$quoter->quote($_,indent=>6,col_width=>60)}(
"The time has come"
the walrus said,
"to speak of many things..."
," 123456abtn13fr16172021222324252627303132e34353637",
("6abtn13fr32e34" x 5),2/3,10,00);
for my $i (1..@quotes) {
print "$var$i=".$quotes[$i-1].";n";
}
Would produce:
$var1=qq"The time has come"ntthetwalrus said,nt"to speak of man.
qqy things...";
$var2=" 123456abtn13fr16172021222324252627".
"303132e34353637";
$var3=("6abtn13fr32e34" x 5);
$var4=0.666666666666667;

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Asia is Perl module to fetch quotes from Yahoo Asia.

SYNOPSIS

use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;

%info = $q->fetch("asia","CREA.SI"); # Failover to other methods ok.
%info = $q->fetch("yahoo_asia","CREA.SI"); # Use this module only.

This module fetches information from Yahoo Asia. Symbols should be provided in the format "SYMBOL.EXCHANGE", where the exchange code is one of the following:
SI - Singapore
BO - Bombay
JK - Jakarta
HK - Hong Kong
NS - India
KS - Korea
KL - Kuala Lumpur
NZ - New Zealand
SS - Shanghai
SZ - Shenzhen
TW - Taiwan
TH - Thailand

This module provides both the "asia" and "yahoo_asia" methods. The "asia" method should be used if failover methods are desirable. The "yahoo_asia" method should be used you desire to only fetch information from Yahoo Europe.

Stocks are returned in the currency of the local exchange. You can use Finance::Quotes set_currency() feature to change the currency in which information is returned.

This module is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, but can be loaded explicitly by specifying the parameter "Yahoo::Asia" to Finance::Quote->new().

Information obtained by this module may be covered by Yahoos terms and conditions. See http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/ for more details.
