RPC::XML is a set of classes in Perl for implementing XML-RPC services both from the client side and the server side. Included are classes for writing clients, writing stand-alone servers (using the HTTP::Daemon class of LWP or the Net::Server class for transport implementation), or implementing a server as an Apache/mod_perl location handler.

bcnu is a Web-based system management tool which delivers information on the status of networked systems in a simple and easy-to-use manner. It uses a web browser to display information about hosts in a tabular form. Historical information can be held indefinitely, and there is a powerful query tool available to interrogate it. Client systems can run an agent which logs information back to a central system. An agent scheduler is integrated to allow agents to be run at different intervals. Standard agents include ftp, http, disk space, logfiles, processes, and more.

HTTP-WebTest is a Perl module which runs tests on remote URLs or local Web
files containing Perl/JSP/HTML/JavaScript/etc., and generates a detailed test
report. This module can be used "as-is" or its functionality can be extended
using plugins. Plugins can define test types and provide additional report
capabilities. This module comes with a set of default plugins, but can be
easily extended with third-party plugins.

Makepp, a build program that has a number of features that allow for reliable builds and simpler build files, is a drop-in replacement for GNU make. It supports almost all of the syntax that GNU make supports, and can be used with makefiles produced by utilities such as automake. It is called makepp (or make++) because it was designed with special support for C++, which has since been extended to other languages like Swig or embedded SQL. Some features that makepp adds to make are: greatly improved handling of builds that involve multiple makefiles (recursive make is no longer necessary); automatic scanning for include files; rebuilds triggered if build command changes; checksum-based signature methods for reliable builds, smart enough to ignore whitespace or comment changes; extensibility through Perl programming (within your makefile); repositories (automatically importing files from another tree); and build caches (not recompiling identically what a user of the same cache already did).

Spong is a simple system-monitoring package. It features client-based monitoring (CPU, disk, processes, logs, etc.), monitoring of network services, grouping of hosts (routers, servers, workstations, and PCs), host-specific contact and downtime information, configuration on a client-by-client basis, results displayed via the Web, history of problems, messaging (via email or pager) when problems occur, and verbose information to help diagnosis problems. It communicates via simple TCP-based messages, and is written in Perl.

autofwd is an automated firewalling daemon intended to block hosts performing unwanted acts. While it was designed to be used to thwart hosts running dictionary attacks on logins (of any service), it can be used for just about anything. The external commands it runs are configurable, allowing you to take additional actions against offending hosts such as running an nmap OS fingerprint before firewalling, or just silently logging the event.

libintl-perl is a library that supports message translation for Perl, written in pure Perl (version 5.004 or better). A faster C version is also built and installed if the system fulfills all requirements. Its interface is a superset of the gettext family of functions in C, and it uses the same file formats as GNU gettext, making it possible to use all tools available for gettext itself and to seamlessly integrate internationalized Perl code into mixed-language projects.

The HTML::Template module attempts to make using HTML templates simple and natural. It extends standard HTML with a few new tags for variables, loops, if/else blocks and includes. A file written with HTML and these new tags is called a template. Using this module you fill in the values for the variables and loops declared in the template. This allows you to seperate design (the HTML) from the data, which you generate in the Perl script. While there are many other HTML template systems available, this module is simple and fast. It doesn't try to reinvent Perl CGI, it just augments HTML with a few new and very useful abilities.

Statistics-Descriptive is a Perl module to perform Statistical Analysis on numeric data. It can retrieve such things as the mean (or average), the median, the standard deviation, a histogram/frequency analysis, etc.

jIRCii is a cross platform Internet Relay Chat client. It is
fully scriptable using a Perl-like language called sleep. The
focus is to provide a console client experience with the
advantages of a solid GUI. It includes DCC/CTCP support, the
ability to connect to SSL servers, and over 65 built-in
commands.

Jetty is an Open Source HTTP Servlet Server written in Java. It is a full featured HTTP/1.1 server and a Servlet container. It is designed to be small, fast, embeddable and extensible. It supports HTTP/1.1, servlets 2.3, and JSP 1.2.

SPOPS (Simple Perl Object Persistence w/ Security) is a robust and powerful
Perl module that allows you to serialize objects. It is unique in that it also
allows you to apply security to these objects using a fairly simple but
powerful scheme of users and groups. It's also unique in that for most
objects, you will not need to write any code. All you need is a fairly simple
configuration file, and you can have a class for your object ready to go, right
out of thin air.

fuseftp is a userspace FTP filesystem for FUSE.

SchemaView Plus is a GUI for creating, retrieving, drawing, and print­ing database schema. It uses Perl, Tk, DBI, and XML packages. Schema can be retrieved using DBIx::SystemCatalog, and it uses XML for storing and retrieving data in text files. You can write any filters to modify these XML files to add new functionality based on your projects (e.g. dropping off some relationships).

Nessconnect is a GUI, CLI, and API client for
Nessus and Nessus compatible servers. With its
user interface, it provides local session
management, scan templates, report generation
through XSLT, charts, and graphs, and
vulnerability trending.
