Portal:Perl Powered Programs (PPP)

Introduction

This portal is to catalog all the programs out there (free and commercial) that are written in Perl, integrate Perl, or in some way support Perl programmers.

This is not the place for code that is strictly modules or libraries. You may email me to get your program listed here (after verification).
