338 root 1.121 stableperl list(perl) modules()
339 root 1.120 Stableperl is a fork, or a branch, of the official perl with the goal
340     of providing stability and compatibility. See <a
341     href="http://stableperl.schmorp.de/">stableperl.schmorp.de</a> for
342     details.
343    
344 root 1.121 You can also look at the <a href="http://schplog.schmorp.de/2015-06-06-stableperl-faq.html">Canary::Stability and Stableperl FAQ</a>, and you can download
345     releases at <a href="http://stableperl.schmorp.de/dist/">http://stableperl.schmorp.de/dist/</a>.

353 root 1.73 rxvt-unicode is a fork of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
354 elmex 1.1
355     <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
356     <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
357     <em>first</em>.</p>
358    
359     Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
360    
361     <ul>
362     <li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li>
363     <li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale,
364     rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li>

418    
419     Most terminal emulators nowadays strive to emulate a DEC VT102
420     terminal (even those claiming to emulate a VT100 usually mean
421     VT102). Unfortunately, even though there are some VT100 simulators,
422     there haven't been any DEC VT102 ones, so it was very hard to test
423     compatibility with the real device.
424    
425     Thanks to this simulator, one can now test how the "real" VT102 behaves,
426     and as free extra, it also simulates DEC VT100 and DEC VT131 terminals.
427    
428 root 1.117 ROMs are included - a standard Perl 5.10+ installation, the
429     <code>stty</code> utility and the <code>IO::Pty</code> module are

489     and only provided as reference.
490    
491     This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
492     the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
493     provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
494     so one can learn about the protocol.
495     It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers

508    
509     This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor
510     to another process, using a (streaming) unix domain socket (on POSIX
511     systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems).
512    
513 root 1.101 Proc-FastSpawn cpan cvs-pod(FastSpawn.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
514     fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
515    
516     The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple:
517     spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as
518     possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but
519     hopefully faster than those two syscalls.
520    
521     Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec
522     programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX
523     threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call
524     fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external
525     processes.

529    
530     This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
531     them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
532     preserving most of the advantages of fork.
533    
534     It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
535     subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for
536     use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such
537     as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well
538     behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes.
539

542 root 1.105
543     Despite what the name of this module might suggest, it doesn't actually
544     create remote processes for you. But it does make it easy to use them,
545     once you have started them.
546    
547     This module implements a very similar API as AnyEvent::Fork. In fact,
548     similar enough to require at most minor modifications to support both
549     at the same time. For example, it works with AnyEvent::Fork::RPC and
550     AnyEvent::Fork::Pool.
551    
552 root 1.104 AnyEvent-Fork-RPC cpan cvs-pod(RPC.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
553     Simple RPC extension for AnyEvent::Fork
554    
555     This module implements a simple RPC protocol and backend for processes
556 root 1.105 created via AnyEvent::Fork, allowing you to call a function in the
557 root 1.104 child process and receive its return values (up to 4GB serialised).
558    
559     It implements two different backends: a synchronous one that works like a
560     normal function call, and an asynchronous one that can run multiple jobs
561     concurrently in the child, using AnyEvent.
562    
563     It also implements an asynchronous event mechanism from the child to the
564     parent, that could be used for progress indications or other information.
565    
566     AnyEvent-Fork-Pool cpan cvs-pod(Pool.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
567     Simple process pool manager on top of AnyEvent::Fork and AnyEvent::Fork::RPC.
568    
569     This module uses processes created via AnyEvent::Fork and the RPC
570     protocol implement in AnyEvent::Fork::RPC to create a load-balanced pool
571     of processes that handles jobs.
572    
573     Understanding of AnyEvent::Fork is helpful but not critical to be able
574     to use this module, but a thorough understanding of AnyEvent::Fork::RPC
575     is, as it defines the actual API that needs to be implemented in the
576     children.

600     PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
601     Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
602    
603     This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
604     complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
605     of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
606    
607     Example:
608    
609     <pre>
610     my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
611     "select id, name from db where name like %",
612     "pfx%";

628     unix systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)

1088     Linux-DVB cpan cvs-pod(DVB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1089     A perl module that implements a very direct interface to the Linux DVB
1090     API. Also contains utility functions to decode SI data.
1091    
1092     Devel-FindRef cpan cvs-pod(FindRef.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1093     A Perl module that tries to track down references to perl values. Can
1094     be a great aid in debugging leak problems by showing where a value
1095     is still being referenced.
1096    
1097     BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1098     A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
1099     Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
1100     C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library
1101     and also executes all database changes asynchronously using a thread pool.
1102    
1103     IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1104     A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
1105     from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
1106     <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
1107     which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
1108     brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
1109    
1110     JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1111     JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
1112     modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
1113     flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
1114     datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
1115     JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
1116     such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
1117     speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
1118     usage and implementation details.
1119    
1120 root 1.111 CBOR-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1121     CBOR::XS implements the Concise Binary Object Representation (RFC 7049),
1122     which is a kind of "binary JSON" that also has the ability to cleanly
1123     serialise objects. Unlike other binary formats, CBOR is actually capable
1124     of representing all JSON texts, not just a subset of them.

1127 root 1.111 This module is an utility module that provides a few simple datatypes,
1128     constants and a serialisation protocol for CBOR::XS. It could be used
1129     for other, similar, serialisation modules (such as JSON::XS), and would
1130     improve interoperability between those modules.
1131

1133     A Perl module representing a go board.
1134    
1135     This Perl module represents a Go game. It can check for valid moves,
1136     capture stones, stores move history and can represent a variety of
1137     additional annotations (circles, labels, grayed-out stones etc.).
1138    
1139 root 1.68 Games-Sokoban cpan cvs-pod(Sokoban.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1140     A perl module to load/transform/save sokoban levels in various formats.
1141    
1142     Supports xsb (text), rle, sokevo and a small "binpack" format for input and
1143     output and can normalise levels as well as calculate unique IDs.
1144    
1145 root 1.31 Gtk2-GoBoard cpan cvs-pod(GoBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)

1147    
1148     This Perl module implements a beautiful go board (see <a
1149     href="http://data.plan9.de/kgsuemel.jpg">example</a>), implemented as a
1150     Gtk2 widget.
1151    
1152 elmex 1.1 Linux-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1153     A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using <tt>clone</tt>
1154     on Linux. Apart from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows
1155     asynchronous <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt> and <tt>close</tt> (and more)
1156     calls, which often are a substantial problem. See also its (newer) brother
1157     <tt>IO-AIO</tt>.
1158    
1159     Linux-Inotify2 cpan cvs-pod(Inotify2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1160     A better/less buggy/more portable interface to the Linux Inotify
1161     subsystem then what Linux::Inotify has to offer. Inotify lets you receive
1162     file change, create, move etc. events for directories in files in a more
1163     scalable fashion than dnotify, the older mechanism.
1164    
1165     Linux-NBD cpan cvs-pod(lib/Linux/NBD.pm) cvs-pod(lib/Linux/NBD/Client.pm) cvs-pod(lib/Linux/NBD/Server.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1166     A Perl module that helps implementing netblock block device servers and
1167     set up NBD instances. A sample application allowing you to mount most CD
1168     images is included.

1173 root 1.92 Urlader cpan cvs-pod(Urlader.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1174     A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
1175    
1176     Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting
1177     executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not
1178     restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache
1179     unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold
1180     on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.

1257 root 1.32 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1258     <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1259    
1260     <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1261    
1262     Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1263     fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1264     I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1265     them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1266     none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1267     they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1268     brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1269    
1270     <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1271    
1272     [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1273     people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1274     provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1275     Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1276    
1277     <ul><li>
1278     <p>FREE</p>
1279    
1280     <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1281     the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1282     needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1283     and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1284    
1285     <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1286     zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1287     further, in an open developement style.</p>
1288    
1289     <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1290     executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1291     difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1292     want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1293     knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1294     common, behaviour)</p>
1295    
1296     </li><li>
1297     <p>FAST</p>
1298    
1299     <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1300     slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1301     fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1302     faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1303     is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1304     that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1305     well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1306     almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1307    
1308     </li><li>
1309     <p>PORTABLE</p>
1310    
1311     <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1312     even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1313     about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1314    
1315     </li><li>
1316     <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1317    
1318     <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1319     useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1320     multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1321     only a few hours old!</p>
1322    
1323     <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1324     brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1325     know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1326     don't have.</p>
1327    
1328     <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1329    
1330     </li></ul>
1331    
1332     <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1333    
1334     <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1335     is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1336     features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1337     fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1338     always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1339     clear now ;)</p>
