Introduction[edit | edit source]
This portal is for all software tools that a Perl programmer can use to ehance their productivity. Most tools here will support Perl directly, but they don't need to as long as they offer workflow and productivity enhancements for Perl journeymen.
Note to editors: Please provide sufficient description of the tool's purpose and potential advantage it could bring, particularly if it is a surprising suggestion or not well known. Feel free to create pages for tools that deserve sufficient coverage.
