Perl Scripts and Modules

This page contains some Perl scripts and modules that I have written. Some of these are actually useful. Use them with care and enjoy.

mkbigfile

A very crude script to generate text files containing random data, useful for creating large dummy test files. Files are limited to 2GB, and can be created using random printable characters or random "words" that have a character distribution similar to English language. Download Now

Audio::MorseWave

A module for generating Morse code WAVE files. The zip file contains the perl module and some documentation. Download Now

There are also some example scripts that use the Morsewave module. Among them are a couple of Windows-specific code practice scripts and a couple of text-to-Morse conversion scripts. Download Now

I've also written a PHP version. This is the same code the powers the online version.

CEDICT data conversion tool

In order to get the Chinese-English dictionary data distributed by the CEDICT project into my MySQL database, I run it through a conversion script that makes the definitions a bit more readable and also assigns radicals and stroke counts to the single-character entries. The script and supporting files are here.
