List::Part. The purpose of the module is to divide up ("partition") a list based on some code the user provides. One of my examples:
When I was uploading DBIx::Path the other night, it struck me that there really was no reason not to register List::Part. So I did. Registrations have to be approved, and in the past they've always taken a couple weeks, so I fired off my request and settled in for a long wait.
Well, it turned out I wouldn't have to wait very long. Today (yesterday) I got the approval. I also got an e-mail from brain d foy (yes, it's always written in small caps), editor of The Perl Review, who apparently wants me to write an article about it.
I replied telling him that I was interested and asking if it should be focused on the module specifically or Perl list processing in general. Once I hear back, I'll write up a proposal and submit it.
Whee.
A little over a year ago, I wrote a Perl module called my($lay_off, $give_raise, $keep)=part { $_->is_talented ? 0 : $_->is_executive ? 1 : 2 } @employees;When I originally uploaded it, I didn't register the module; it really felt a little too small and unimportant to be its own module.

Good job though, about getting the approval so soon, silly Perl hacker-kun.
