Hi,

This is to announce two CPAN releases that might be of interest to
some of you Web programmers.

=================================================
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Alien-GvaScript/ .
=================================================

GvaScript (pronounce "gee-vascript") is a javascript framework born in
Geneva, Switzerland (GVA is the IATA code for Geneva Cointrin
International Airport).
It is built on top of the prototype object-oriented javascript
framework (http://prototype.conio.net) and offers a number of
extensions and widgets, such as keymap handling, application-specific
events, autocompletion on input field, and a tree navigator --- see
documentation in
http://search.cpan.org/src/DAMI/Alien-GvaScript-1.00/lib/Alien/GvaScript/html/
GvaScript is distributed using Perl tools, but the actual content of
the library is pure javascript; hence its location in the Alien
namespace (see the Alien manifesto).
GvaScript runtime library does not need Perl; you can integrate it in
any other Web programming framework. Perl is only needed for
developers who want to modify GvaScript sources and recreate a
distribution package.

=================================================
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Pod-POM-Web/
=================================================

Pod::POM::Web is a Web application for browsing the documentation of
Perl components installed on your local machine. Since pages are
dynamically generated, they are always in sync with code actually
installed.
The application offers
* a tree view for browsing through installed modules (with dynamic
expansion of branches as they are visited)
* a tree view for navigating and opening / closing sections while
visiting a documentation page
* a source code view with syntax coloring (this is an optional feature
-- see section "Optional features")
* direct access to perlfunc entries (builtin Perl functions)
search through perlfaq headers
* fulltext search, including names of Perl variables (this is an
optional feature -- see section "Optional features").
* parsing and display of version number
* display if and when the displayed module entered Perl core.
* parsing pod links and translating them into hypertext links
* links to CPAN sites
The DHTML code for navigating through documentation trees requires a
modern browser. So far it has been tested on Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6.0 and Firefox 2.0
