I would consider almost all of those (apart from the first couple) as 
normal stuff :)

Things like the ISIN module were what I was referring to - things which 
are more finance specific. There are a bunch of industry specific things 
up on CPAN for many different industries, I was just wondering if there 
are any that cater to our side of things that people actually use.

I'm trying to think of new perl module ideas that I might put together and 
have started wavering towards hacking on some finance related perl in my 
spare time...
