Most Wanted Modules

Here be the list of modules wanted for Perl6

NOTE: This has been replaced by the Perl6 Most Wanted Project

• ExtUtils::Command: Port from Perl 5 (or should that be Shell::Command?)

• Email::MIME

• HTTP::Response (and likely HTTP::Request too). LWP::Simple is evolving and evolving, so maybe there's a need for a full-blown LWP? (Of course! Preferably with JavaScript handling at some point..) In the meantime, check out WWW::App, which has WWW::Response and WWW::Request as well as convenient sugar coating for even easier development.

• SSL

• Digest::* (preferably with a unified API) - MD5 and SHA256 already exist. What other Digests are wanted?

• All the boring stuff like PDF, Excel etc

• Data formats of all kinds from SOAP, CSV, YouNameIt (ideally Grammar - validating - generating - parsing - the whole range)

• Net::* - all kinds of networking stuff

• A common widget set (Qt, Gtk)

• OpenGL

• Something like either GD, Imager or Image Magick

• GZIP!

• Curses[*], Readline - all things terminal-ish

• Crypto - GPG etc

• Text::Template

• Config::Simple

• Smart::Match, mebbe with a bit different name?
