These are a few software utilities I've written for my own use. These are made publicly available for personal use.
Some of these programs have related functionality, and these are grouped into named packages. The individual programs work without the other members of the package, but some useful functionality will be missing.

If you would like to receive email when additions or modification to these utilities are made, send email to wmsoft@waynemorrison.com. This is a very low-volume mailing list. Send email to that same address to be removed from the list.
Unless otherwise marked, these are all Perl scripts and assume a Unix-like environment.
