There is [The Phalanx 100 - qa.perl.org](http://qa.perl.org/phalanx/100/), but most of those already  
exist in one form or another in Ruby or on the RAA.

Outside of those, I’d vote for:

Crypt-OpenPGP  
IO-AIO

And that’s about all I can think of at the moment.

Regards,

Dan

Now that it’s been mentioned, I have a special kind of envy  
of the whole phalanx concept. I’d love to see a Ruby version  
of phalanx running.

(Maybe a mapping of the phalanx 100 to their Ruby  
equivalents would be a good thing too.)
