Projects

Here you will find a list of some of the projects I am working on. Most of them will be programming projects, but I may add some non-programming ones in the future at some point. Most of my projects will be written in either Perl or Raku, as those are my favorite languages to work with. All projects that I am in charge of are hosted on my Codeberg.

• SlackBuilds: I maintain various SlackBuilds for SlackBuilds.org, a community repository of software build scripts for the Slackware Linux distribution.
• Raku: I have contributed some minor tweaks and improvements to various components of Raku, the sister programming language of Perl. I also have maintained and contributed to a couple of modules, which can be found below under the zef section.
• CPAN: I upload some of my Perl programs/modules on CPAN.
  • sbokeeper: Perl program that maintains a database of installed SlackBuilds.org packages with some nifty features like dependency management. Not a package manager itself, meant to be used along with one like sbopkg.
  • ishmael: Program for dumping the formatted text contents of various ebook formats.
  • gutenberg: Fetch ebooks from Project Gutenberg.
  • tarotplane: Simple Curses flashcard program written in Perl.
  • File::Tudo: Module for reporting TODOs from scripts. A port of one of my Raku modules of the same name.
  • File::Strfile: Perl module for reading/writing strfile databases, like those used by the classic UNIX fortune program. I wrote this module mainly as a learning exercise for submitting modules to CPAN.
• zef: I maintain some Raku (Perl 6) programs/modules that are available on zef.
  • stouch: Simple templated file creator.
  • File::Tudo: Module for reporting TODOs from scripts.
  • Sys::OsRelease: Raku module that provides a subroutine for reading data from your system's os-release file. I wrote this module to learn how module distribution works in the Raku ecosystem.
  • Pod::To::Man: Module for converting Pod to roff manpages. I didn't write this one myself, but I have made some notable contributions to it and now maintain it.
  • Archive::Ar: Module for reading and writing Unix ar archives, the archive format used by Debian .deb packages.
  • Fortune: Module for reading and writing Unix fortune files, both the text databases and the binary headers. This is basically an improved version of my first Perl module, File::Strfile.
• This website: You're looking at it.
