In their own words

axe-playwright

axe-playwright adds axe-core accessibility checks to Playwright tests. Its commands can inject and configure axe, check a page, retrieve results or violations, and report findings. Checks can cover a whole page document or a selected DOM context such as a selector. Options support axe.run settings, impact filtering, detailed reports, and verbose output; an optional setting logs violations without failing the test. The integration works with Playwright’s Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit browsers. Reporting options include terminal output, a v2 terminal format, HTML, and JUnit. The project shows configurations for WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.2 AA, best-practice, and EN 301 549 tags, and lists WCAG 2.2 coverage. Installation uses axe-playwright and Playwright as npm development dependencies. axe-core is bundled, so a separate installation is not needed. The package is distributed under the MIT License. It is available for Linux and web, with CI/CD integration. The project says it is not formally affiliated with Deque Systems, though it uses axe-core with permission.

plenv

plenv is a free Perl version manager for selecting the interpreter an application uses, helping keep development aligned with production. It installs Perl versions in the user’s home directory and switches between them in the shell. A `.perl-version` file can pin a Perl version to a directory, taking precedence over the global selection. Shell script wrappers called shims route Perl executable commands to the selected version. Setup instructions cover Bash and Zsh, with optional shell integration and autocompletion. Installation options include GitHub, an archive, and Homebrew on Mac OS X. The `perl-build` plugin supplies `plenv install`; `plenv-contrib` adds `use` and `lib` commands as a local::lib integration replacement. The README recommends Carton for upgrades and deployments. `migrate-modules` installs the newest module versions from one Perl environment into another, though the resulting versions may differ. The README lists Perl 5.8.1+ and Bash as dependencies, and curl for `plenv install-cpanm`. plenv supports Linux and macOS and is free software redistributable under the same terms as Perl itself.
