So I just mentioned this on IRC, but I guess I should write this down somewhere where it's not going to vanish

  1. prove is a Test::Harness thingy that you can run test scripts from the command line without using make. It ships with later Test::Harnesses
  2. AMF::Perl is a way of requesting data structures from a webserver in a structured way from Flash
  3. More people should know about Apache::Test
  4. Cache::FastMmap is a way to do cool caching between processes on the same host with a memory mapped file and Cache::Memcached is a cool way to do a cache with a deamon that many hosts can share (not that I've tried either modules yet)
