Class-STL-Containers (0.01)

That module is useless, you don't need it!

Implementing C++ STL in Perl is useless because Perl builtin datatypes and functions already offer the same functionality and are much more friendly.

And if something is not natively available from Perl (as linked lists or priority queues), there are much better ways of doing it and more perlish than using the C++ STL API.

Module-Build (0.2610)

I have also suffered Module::Build lack of support for the PREFIX option.

I was trying to install an application on a client server under a home directory. I had configured CPAN to use the correct PREFIX and so, everything was installing smoothly until, one of modules asked for Module::Build and everything become a mesh...

Maybe the directory structures created by ExtUtils::MakeMaker are not the most beautiful ones, but it doesn't harm, so, why to make Module::Build use a different format, one that will stop it from supporting the most useful and common Makefile.PL option, PREFIX???

Regexp-Log-Common (0.03)

I have found this module easy to use and quite useful for parsing apache logs.

Config-ApacheFormat (1.2)

This module works and is able to parse Apache like config files, but it is too simplistic and lacks some essential functionality like for example, being able to detect and accurately report errors on the configuration file.

Hooks for parsing customization are not available either, and customization of the parser is done in a limited fashion via some predefined attributes that only cover a limited set of cases.

I really would prefer an API reassembling internal Apache config processing (though more perlish) which would allow me fine grained control over the parsing.
