Top 6 Perl CLI Projects

  • exiftool

    ExifTool meta information reader/writer

    • Project mention: Ask HN: Best to store, index and categorize audio recordings | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-02

    If you're doing a pipelined bulk processing pass to add metadata tags after extracting them via Speech to text, or have delimited notes in a text file, or ... etc.

    You might find ExifTool useful.

    It's pure commandline (with a few third party GUI's IIRC) multiplatform and purpose built to display, edit, add media tags to all sorts of AV files.

  • GNU Stow

    GNU Stow - mirror of savannah git repository occasionally with more bleeding-edge branches

    • Project mention: Dotfiles: Unofficial Guide to Dotfiles on GitHub | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-07

    Sorry - should have been specific in top-level comment. I was referring to this one: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/33

    Basically, the --dotfiles option was not working with directories so you had to have things that look like this: lazygit/.config/lazygit and now it looks like: lazygit/dot-config/lazygit.

    Really a small issue that bugged me forever - shouldn't have made it seem like it was core a problem with stow!

  • vidir

    edit directory in $EDITOR (better than vim . with netrw)

    • Project mention: The Gems of Moreutils | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-30

    I just learned about vidir [1]. Emacs Dired [2] can rename & delete files by editing the buffer directly, and let's say I was thrilled when I saw someone replicated that behavior as a general Unix tool.
