My Problem With Perl

Generating Printable Calendars

Using distutils

distutils is the Python standard for distributing modules. A package built upon distutils can be easily built and installed. It is similar in spirit to Perl’s ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

bashlib

bashlib is a shell script that makes CGI programming in the bash shell easier, or at least more tolerable. It contains a few functions that get called automatically and place form elements (from POSTs and GETs) and cookies in your environment. It also contains complete documentation on how to use these variables and how to set cookies manually.
