on a genetic algorithm (GA) that tries to fit a collection of items
into as few as possible volumes of a specific size.
For example, the items might be files/directories and the volumes
might be CDs or DVDs.
The task of arranging items in such manner that the number of
required bins is minimized is called Bin Packing, a NP-hard
combinatorial problem for which no deterministic polynomial-time
algorithm is known. Using heuristics, such as GAs, it is usually
possible to approximate -- and often reach -- the best solution for
the problem within a reasonable time.

that can run PSGI applications. This module only depends on
HTTP::Server::Simple, which itself doesn't depend on any non-core
modules so it's best to be used as an embedded web server.

Toolkit in as few lines of code as possible.
It is intended for use in light-usage, low-memory, or low-cpu templating
situations, where you may need to upgrade to the full feature set in the
future, or if you want the familiarity of TT-style templates.
It is intended to have fully-compatible template and stash usage, with a
limited by similar Perl API.
Unlike Template Toolkit, Template::Tiny will process templates without a
compile phase (but despite this is still quicker, owing to heavy use of
the Perl regular expression engine.

declarations and definitions for commonly-used API elements and
abstracted system behaviors. It can be used to improve portability and
other functionality in your programs.
Gnulib takes a different approach than libiberty. Gnulib components are
intended to be shared at the source level, rather than being a library that
gets built, installed, and linked against.
