344 rxvt-unicode dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/rxvt.1.pod,) cvs-pod(doc/rxvt.7.pod,FAQ) cvs-pod(src/urxvt.pm,Perl) cvs-co(Changes) irc(rxvt) irc(rxvtdev)
345 rxvt-unicode is a fork of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
346
347 <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
348 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
349 <em>first</em>.</p>
350
351 Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
352
353 <ul>
354 <li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li>
355 <li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale,
356 rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li>
357 <li>Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which
358 improves memory usage and startup time considerably.</li>
359 <li>Embedded perl, for endless customization and improvement opportunities, such as:
360 <ul>
361 <li>Tabbed terminal support.</li>
362 <li>Regex-driven customisable selection that can properly select shell arguments, urls etc.</li>
363 <li>Selection-transformation and option popup menus.</li>
364 <li>Automatically transforming the selection once made.</li>
365 <li>Incremental scrollback buffer search.</li>
366 <li>Automatic URL-underlining and launching.</li>
367 <li>Remote pastebin, digital clock, block graphics to ascii filter and
368 whatever you like to implement for yourself.</li>
369 </ul>
370 </li>
371 <li>Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than
372 rxvt and its many forks, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.</li>
373 <li>Completely flicker-free.</li>
374 <li>Re-wraps long lines instead of splitting or cutting them on resizes.</li>
375 <li>Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).</li>
376 <li>Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between
377 nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).</li>
378 <li>Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.</li>
379 <li>Can easily be embedded into other applications.</li>
380 <li>All documentation accessible through manpages.</li>
381 <li>Locale-independent XIM support.</li>
382 <li>Many small improvements, such as improved and corrected terminfo, improved secondary screen modes,
383 italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.</li>
384 <li>Encapsulation of privileged operations in a separate process (improves security).</li>
385 <li>Optimised for local <i>and</i> remote connections.</li>
386 </ul>
387
388 <br />
389 And its main <em>missing</em> features (which users request but are not (yet?) implemented) are:
390
391 <ul>
392 <li>Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
393 <li>Right-to-Left rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
394 <li>IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)</li>
395 </ul>
396
397 <br />
398
399 There is an IRC channel for discussion on <a
400 href='irc://irc.freenode.net/rxvt-unicode'><tt>irc.freenode.net
401 #rxvt-unicode</tt></a>.
402
403 libptytty dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/libptytty.3.pod) cvs-co(Changes)
404 libptytty is an offspring of rxvt-unicode that handles pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling
405 in mostly OS-independent ways, so it's less of a hassle for you :)
406
407 gtkbfc cvs-pod(README)
408 Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement.
409
410 <b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+
411 file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use
412 readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
413
414 Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work
415 for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
416
417 Async-Interrupt cpan cvs-pod(Interrupt.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
418 Allow C/XS libraries to interrupt perl asynchronously.
419
420 This is a module implementing a rarely-needed, very advanced technique
421 to interrupt a running perl interpreter from another thread, or similar,
422 context, at very low overhead.
423
424 CV cpan cvs-pod(bin/cv,) cvs-co(Changes)
425 Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer.
426
427 It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely
428 modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much
429 faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN.
430
431 kgsueme cpan list(kgsueme) cvs-co(Changes)
432 This perl module is about reverse engineering the
433 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html">protocol</a>
434 (<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>)
435 of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>.
436
437 It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a
438 href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp
439 and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and
440 delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write
441 your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for
442 KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to
443 the game of go, look <a href="http://playgo.to/interactive/">here</a>.
444
445 App-Staticperl cpan cvs-pod(bin/staticperl,) cvs-co(Changes)
446 Perl, libc, 100 modules - all in one self-contained 500kb executable.
447
448 App::Staticperl installs a helper script that allows you to install a
449 statically linked (or linkable) perl distribution, install additional
450 modules, and create new perl interpreters with just the selection of
451 modules you need. It is also possible to just create the C source files
452 needed to embed this custom interpreter into your own programs.<p />
453
454 Two pre-built perl binaries (for Linux on x86 or amd64) which
455 include some highly subjective package selections are available as
456 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/smallperl.html">smallperl</a>
457 and
458 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/bigperl.html">bigperl</a>.
459
460 Net-Knuddels cvs-pod(Net/Knuddels.pm,)
461 This perl module provides an API for group communications using the
462 <a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated
463 and only provided as reference.
464
465 This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
466 the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
467 provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
468 so one can learn about the protocol.
469 It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers
470 (although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather
471 ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use
472 IRC instead).
473
474 AnyEvent-IRC cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/IRC.pm,) git-co(Changes) git-co(samples/anyeventirccl) git-co(samples/anyeventirc) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
475 This module provides an alternative to the Net-IRC and Net-IRC2
476 modules. Its design rationale is offering a 100% non-blocking
477 callback-based interface, RFC-compliant parsing and a lightweight
478 approach to modularity and reusability.
479
480 AnyEvent-ReadLine-Gnu cpan cvs-pod(Gnu.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
481 This is a small interface to Term::ReadLine::Gnu for event-based programs.
482
483 This module has event-based readline, as well as asynchronous message printing
484 with readline figured out for you.
485
486 IO-FDPass cpan cvs-pod(FDPass.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
487 Pass a file descriptor over a socket.
488
489 This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor
490 to another process, using a (streaming) unix domain socket (on POSIX
491 systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems).
492
493 Proc-FastSpawn cpan cvs-pod(FastSpawn.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
494 fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
495
496 The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple:
497 spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as
498 possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but
499 hopefully faster than those two syscalls.
500
501 Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec
502 programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX
503 threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call
504 fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external
505 processes.
506
507 AnyEvent-Fork cpan cvs-pod(Fork.pm,) cvs-pod(Fork/Early.pm) cvs-pod(Fork/Template.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
508 Everything you wanted to use fork() for, but couldn't.
509
510 This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
511 them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
512 preserving most of the advantages of fork.
513
514 It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
515 subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for
516 use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such
517 as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well
518 behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes.
519
520 AnyEvent-Fork-RPC cpan cvs-pod(RPC.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
521 Simple RPC extension for AnyEvent::Fork
522
523 This module implements a simple RPC protocol and backend for processes
524 created via L<AnyEvent::Fork>, allowing you to call a function in the
525 child process and receive its return values (up to 4GB serialised).
526
527 It implements two different backends: a synchronous one that works like a
528 normal function call, and an asynchronous one that can run multiple jobs
529 concurrently in the child, using AnyEvent.
530
531 It also implements an asynchronous event mechanism from the child to the
532 parent, that could be used for progress indications or other information.
533
534 AnyEvent-Fork-Pool cpan cvs-pod(Pool.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
535 Simple process pool manager on top of AnyEvent::Fork and AnyEvent::Fork::RPC.
536
537 This module uses processes created via AnyEvent::Fork and the RPC
538 protocol implement in AnyEvent::Fork::RPC to create a load-balanced pool
539 of processes that handles jobs.
540
541 Understanding of AnyEvent::Fork is helpful but not critical to be able
542 to use this module, but a thorough understanding of AnyEvent::Fork::RPC
543 is, as it defines the actual API that needs to be implemented in the
544 children.
545
546 Guard cpan cvs-pod(Guard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
547 This small module implements scope and object guards, that is, code blocks
548 that are executed when a scope is being exited (or an object is destroyed).
549
550 Much effort was invested into these guards behaving "sensibly" in the
551 presence of thrown exceptions, errors and other adverse conditions, as
552 well as into good performance.
553
554 OpenCL cpan cvs-pod(OpenCL.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
555 An interface to OpenCL (the Open Computing Language) for Perl.
556
557 Perlized (not C-ish) OpenCL interface.
558
559 common-sense cpan cvs-pod(sense.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
560 This module implements some sane defaults for Perl programs, as defined
561 by two typical (or not so typical - use your common sense) specimens of
562 Perl coders.
563
564 Net-IRC-Server cvs-pod(Net/IRC/Server.pm,)
565 This module provides a simple API for handling the IRC Protocol
566 aiming at implementing lightweight IRC-Servers.
567
568 PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
569 Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
570
571 This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
572 complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
573 of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
574
575 Example:
576
577 <pre>
578 my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
579 "select id, name from db where name like %",
580 "pfx%";
581 while ($st->fetch) {
582 print "$id $name\n";
583 }
584 </pre>
585
586 libcoro cvs-co(README) cvs-co(coro.h)
587 This C-library implements coroutines (cooperative multitasking) in a
588 portable fashion.
589
590 As long as your system implements the <tt>ucontext</tt> (Unix) or the
591 older <tt>sigaltstack</tt> interfaces it should work out of the box,
592 with minimal configuration (it consists of only a single <tt>.h</tt> and
593 a single <tt>.c</tt> file). For the broken systems, it also supports
594 a slow pthreads-based system and (optional) assembly backends for
595 higher speed on some systems. It is known to run on a wide variety of
596 unix systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)
597 and also on Windows, does not require any assembly language and is
598 architecture-independent.

651 Faster cpan cvs-pod(Faster.pm,)
652 A perl module that makes perl run, well, faster, using a very primitive just in time compiler.
653
654 As the name implies, using this module makes your perl program run
655 faster. Actually, much slower initially, as it compiles every function
656 to C and later to a shared object, but then you can expect a performance
657 increase by 10-50%, depending on what your program does.
658
659 liblzf cvs-co(README) cvs-co(lzf.h) dist

682 Algorithm-FEC cpan cvs-pod(FEC.pm,) cvs-co(README.fec) cvs-co(Changes)
683 Perl module implementing forward error correction using Vandermonde matrices
684
685 AnyEvent cpan cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent.pm,) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Intro.pod,Introduction/Tutorial) cvs-pod(lib/AE.pm,AE) cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/IO.pm,AnyEvent::IO) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Util.pm,AnyEvent::Util) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Handle.pm,AnyEvent::Handle) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Socket.pm,AnyEvent::Socket) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/DNS.pm,AnyEvent::DNS) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/EV.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::EV) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Event.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Event) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Glib.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Glib) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Tk.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Tk) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Perl.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Perl) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Qt.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Qt) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/EventLib.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Irssi.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/IOAsync.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/POE.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::POE) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
686 This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process
687 and completion events, independent of a specific event loop.
688
689 <p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally
690 without forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without
691 adding noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event,
692 Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib, Irssi, IO::Async and POE (and thus also
693 WxWidgets and Prima). It also comes with a very fast (see benchmarks in
694 the main manual page) Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which
695 ensures that your program will always run even when no C-based event loop
696 is available.</p>
697
698 <p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent
699 comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver
700 library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to
701 "just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object
702 (and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p>
703
704 <p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP
705 connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4
706 and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6
707 completely transparent.</p>
708
709 <p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and
710 buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers
711 to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and
712 fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p>
713
714 AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
715 This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible
716 ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
717
718 This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined
719 rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block
720 the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of
721 pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or
722 more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a
723 least-load principle.
724
725 A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included.
726
727 AnyEvent-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
728 A perl module providing transparent integration of IO::AIO into AnyEvent.
729

734 A perl module providing mostly transparent integration of Net::DBus into AnyEvent.
735
736 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
737 A perl module providing an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent.
738
739 This module provides an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent by
740 starting one or more proxy processes that handle trhe actual sql
741 commands.
742
743 AnyEvent-FCP cpan cvs-pod(FCP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
744 A perl module implementing a Freenet Client Protocol 2.0 client.
745
746 AnyEvent-GPSD cpan cvs-pod(GPSD.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
747 A perl module implementing an AnyEvent client for the (pre-xml) GPSD protocol.
748
749 AnyEvent-Porttracker cpan cvs-pod(Porttracker.pm,) cvs-pod(Porttracker/protocol.pod,api-protocol) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
750 A perl module implementing a client for the Porttracker/PortIQ API protocol.
751
752 AnyEvent-SNMP cpan cvs-pod(SNMP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
753 A perl module that transparently integrates Net::SNMP into AnyEvent.
754
755 In addition to making Net::SNMP AnyEvent-aware, this module also
756 implements advanced rate-limiting that enables you to query many devices
757 in parallel without running into timeouts due to high CPU usage.
758
759 AnyEvent-Watchdog cpan cvs-pod(Watchdog.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
760 A perl module implementing a watchdog for Perl processes.
761
762 This module forks your Perl process early during it's startup. It can
763 automatically restart the program on crashes, provide clean restarts
764 requested by the watched program and a number of other small feats.
765
766 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
767 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
768
769 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
770 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
771 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
772 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
773 the RFC.
774
775 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
776 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
777 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
778
779 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
780 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
781 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
782 limited support.
783
784 AnyEvent-MP cpan cvs-pod(MP.pm,) cvs-pod(MP/Intro.pod,Introduction/Tutorial) cvs-pod(bin/aemp,Config-Uility) cvs-pod(MP/Kernel.pm) cvs-pod(MP/Global.pm) cvs-pod(MP/Transport.pm) cvs-pod(MP/DataConn.pm) cvs-pod(MP/LogCatcher.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
785 This Perl module (-family) implements a simple message passing framework for Perl.
786
787 Despite its simplicity, you can securely message other processes running
788 on the same or other hosts.
789
790 For an introduction to this module family, see the Intro manual page.
791
792 Coro-MP cpan cvs-pod(MP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
793 This Perl module extends the AnyEvent::MP API with a thread-like/erlang-style API.
794
795 This module implements a thread-like API to AnyEvent::MP that is closer
796 to Erlang than the event-based AnyEvent::MP API. It integrates well into
797 AnyEvent::MP.
798
799 See the AnyEvent::MP module and tutorial for info about the concepts used
800 in AnyEvent::MP.
801
802 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
803 A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous
804 SQL requests.
805
806 This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing
807 separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests.
808
809 It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks.
810
811 AnyEvent-HTTPD cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/HTTPD.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
812 A simple and plain event based http web application server Perl module.
813
814 This is a very basic HTTP server that allows the user/programmer to install
815 hooks for URL paths to generate the output. It uses AnyEvent to be easily
816 embeddable into other applications. The main objective was to make it
817 easier to make simple HTTP frontends in Perl for Perl programs and Perl modules.
818
819 AnyEvent-Feed cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Feed.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
820 A RSS/Atom Feed aggregator.
821
822 This module uses AnyEvent::HTTP and XML::Feed to fetch and parse RSS and Atom
823 feeds. It provides aggregation (detecting of new entries) to provide an easy
824 interface for simple feed readers.
825
826 AnyEvent-Twitter cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Twitter.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
827 Implementation of the Twitter API for AnyEvent.
828
829 Provides a simple non-blocking API to access information (aka tweets) provided
830 by <a href="http://www.twitter.com">Twitter</a>.
831
832 AnyEvent-IGS cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/IGS.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
833 A Perl module that interfaces to the International Go Server.
834
835 This module is an AnyEvent-based interface to the International Go Server
836 protocol.
837
838 AnyEvent-EditText cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/EditText.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
839 A Perl module which allows editing any text via an editor in a separate process.
840
841 A utility Perl module that will start a terminal/editor for you and will
842 wait non-blocking for you to finish editing that file. Very useful to embed
843 content edititing in event based programs that have a AnyEvent compatible
844 event loop.
845
846 Array-Heap cpan cvs-pod(Heap.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
847 A Perl module that implements C++ STL-like binary heap operations.

874
875 Convert-UUlib cpan cvs-pod(UUlib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
876 Perl interface to the uulib library (a.k.a. uudeview/uuenview), which
877 allows easy decoding of multipart mime, uuencode and a whole lot of
878 differently encoded messages. You basically throw files at it, and
879 it extracts the files in them. This module is used by the popular <a
880 href="www.amavis.org">amavis virus scanner</a>.
881
882 Coro cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Coro.pm,) cvs-pod(Coro/AIO.pm,Coro::AIO) cvs-pod(Coro/AnyEvent.pm,Coro::AnyEvent) cvs-pod(Coro/BDB.pm,Coro::BDB) cvs-pod(Coro/Channel.pm,Coro::Channel) cvs-pod(Coro/Debug.pm,Coro::Debug) cvs-pod(Coro/EV.pm,Coro::EV) cvs-pod(Coro/Event.pm,Coro::Event) cvs-pod(Coro/Handle.pm,Coro::Handle) cvs-pod(Coro/LWP.pm,Coro::LWP) cvs-pod(Coro/MakeMaker.pm,Coro::MakeMaker) cvs-pod(Coro/RWLock.pm,Coro::RWLock) cvs-pod(Coro/Select.pm,Coro::Select) cvs-pod(Coro/Semaphore.pm,Coro::Semaphore) cvs-pod(Coro/SemaphoreSet.pm,Coro::SemaphoreSet) cvs-pod(Coro/Signal.pm,Coro::Signal) cvs-pod(Coro/Socket.pm,Coro::Socket) cvs-pod(Coro/Specific.pm,Coro::Specific) cvs-pod(Coro/State.pm,Coro::State) cvs-pod(Coro/Storable.pm,Coro::Storable) cvs-pod(Coro/Timer.pm,Coro::Timer) cvs-pod(Coro/Util.pm,Coro::Util) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)

884 Perl. It supports filehandle and event abstraction and also implements
885 continuations as well as the necessary directives to implement a slightly
886 limited call/cc in Perl.
887
888 Coro-Mysql cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Mysql.pm,)
889 Lets other threads run while doing mysql requests via DBD::mysql.
890
891 This perl module patches libmysqlclient/DBD::mysql at runtime to allow
892 multiple Coro-based threads to make database accesses concurrently,
893 instead of blocking the whole process.
894
895 Crypt-Twofish2 cpan cvs-pod(Twofish2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
896 A Perl module implementing the twofish encryption algorithm in Perl. It has
897 mostly been superceded by the Crypt::Twofish module. However, it supports
898 an easy and fast CBC mode natively.
899
900 Digest-Hashcash cpan cvs-pod(Hashcash.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
901 Perl module to generate and parse <a href="http://www.hashcash.org">hashcashes</a>.

906 A thin wrapper around <a href="/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>, a
907 high-performance event loop. Intended as a faster and less buggy
908 replacement for the Event perl module. Efficiently supports very high
909 number of timers, scalable operating system APIs such as epoll, kqueue,
910 solaris's ports, inotify, eventfd, signalfd, child/pid watchers and much
911 more.
912
913 A <a href="http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/libev">mailing
914 list</a> for discussion and support is now available.
915
916 EV-ADNS cpan cvs-pod(ADNS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
917 An asynchronous stub resolver that integrates efficiently into
918 the EV event loop. Uses adns/libadns as backend.
919
920 EV-Loop-Async cpan cvs-pod(Async.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
921 Small module that runs an EV event loop in another thread
922 and uses an Async-Interrupt object to signal new events
923 to perl.
924
925 Net-SNMP-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
926 An adaptor that integrates the Net-SNMP Perl module into the EV event loop.
927 Loading it suffices to make background requests in EV programs.

929 libev cvs-co(README) cvs-pod(ev.pod) dist list(libev)
930 A full-featured and high-performance (<a
931 href="http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html">see benchmark</a>)
932 event loop that is loosely modelled after libevent, but without
933 its limitations and bugs. It is used in
934 <a href="/pkg/gvpe.html">GNU Virtual Private Ethernet</a>,
935 <a href="/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html">rxvt-unicode</a>, <a
936 href="http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit/">auditd</a>, the
937 <a href="http://www.deliantra.net">Deliantra MORPG</a> Server and Client,
938 and many other programs.
939
940 Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock
941 (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well
942 as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, fast timer
943 management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use.
944 <p />
945
946 It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API or
947 directly embedded into your programs without the need for complex
948 configuration support. A full-featured and well-documented
949 <a href="EV.html">perl interface</a> is also available.

961 gvpe dist-gnu
962 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet network with multiple nodes using a
963 variety of transport protocols. Participating nodes do not need to trust
964 each other.
965
966 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet (broadcasts supported, any protocol that
967 works with a normal ethernet should work with GVPE) by creating encrypted
968 host-to-host tunnels between multiple endpoints.
969 <p />
970 Unlike other virtual private "network" solutions which merely create a
971 single tunnel, GVPE creates a real network with multiple endpoints.
972 <p />
973 It is designed to be very simple and robust (cipher selection done at
974 compiletime etc.), and easy to setup (only a single config file shared
975 unmodified between all hosts).
976 <p />
977 VPN hosts can neither sniff nor fake packets, that is, you can use
978 MAC-based filtering to ensure authenticity of packets even from member
979 nodes.
980 <p />
981 GVPE can also be used to tunnel into some vpn network using a variety of
982 protocols (raw IP, UDP, TCP, HTTPS-proxy-connect, ICMP and DNS). It is,
983 however, primarily designed to sit on the gateway machines of company
984 branches to connect them together.
985
986 libeio dist cvs-pod(eio.pod,) cvs-co(eio.h) cvs-co(demo.c) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
987 Event-based fully asynchronous I/O library for C (used by IO::AIO).
988 Currently in BETA!
989
990 <p>Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library
991 for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as <a
992 href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>. Features
993 include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync,
994 mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on
995 solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead
996 (emulated where not available).</p>
997
998 <p>It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any
999 event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very
1000 portable and relies only on POSIX threads.</p>
1001
1002 <p>Its code, documentation, integration and portability quality is
1003 currently below that of libev, but should soon be ready for use in
1004 production environments.</p>
1005
1006 libspf cvs-co(README)
1007 Libspf is a C library that implements the <a
1008 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework"> Sender
1009 Policy Framework</a>. It allows software to identify and reject forged
1010 envelope-from addresses, a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is
1011 defined in Experimental RFC 4408.
1012
1013 This is not the original home of libspf, but its author (apparently)
1014 has vanished for a few years now, and this place took over as a central
1015 place to collect patches and possibly make releases.
1016 <p />
1017 James Couzens, if you read this and want to take over, feel free to
1018 contact <a href="mailto:libspf@schmorp.de">me</a>, I'd be thrilled :)
1019
1020 File-Rdiff cpan cvs-pod(Rdiff.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1021 A Perl module that generates remote signatures and patches files using
1022 librsync: basically your interface to librsync.
1023
1024 EV-Glib cpan cvs-pod(Glib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1025 This perl module embeds the default Glib mainloop into the EV event loop. This makes it
1026 possible to use callbacks or modules using the Glib module (e.g. Gtk2 programs) within EV programs. Just
1027 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/Glib-EV.html">Glib::EV</a> module for the reverse approach.
1028
1029 Glib-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1030 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the EV module. This makes
1031 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the EV module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1032 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/EV-Glib.html">EV::Glib</a> module for the reverse approach.
1033
1034 Glib-Event cpan cvs-pod(Event.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1035 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the Event module. This makes
1036 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the Event module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1037 loading it suffices.

1046
1047 Devel-FindRef cpan cvs-pod(FindRef.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1048 A Perl module that tries to track down references to perl values. Can
1049 be a great aid in debugging leak problems by showing where a value
1050 is still being referenced.
1051
1052 BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1053 A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
1054 Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
1055 C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library
1056 and also executes all database changes asynchronously using a thread pool.
1057
1058 IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1059 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
1060 from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
1061 <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
1062 which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
1063 brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
1064
1065 JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1066 JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
1067 modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
1068 flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
1069 datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
1070 JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
1071 such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
1072 speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
1073 usage and implementation details.
1074
1075 Games-Go-SimpleBoard cpan cvs-pod(SimpleBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1076 A Perl module representing a go board.
1077
1078 This Perl module represents a Go game. It can check for valid moves,
1079 capture stones, stores move history and can represent a variety of
1080 additional annotations (circles, labels, grayed-out stones etc.).
1081
1082 Games-Sokoban cpan cvs-pod(Sokoban.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1083 A perl module to load/transform/save sokoban levels in various formats.

1087
1088 Gtk2-GoBoard cpan cvs-pod(GoBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1089 A Perl module implementing a go board widget.
1090
1091 This Perl module implements a beautiful go board (see <a
1092 href="http://data.plan9.de/kgsuemel.jpg">example</a>), implemented as a
1093 Gtk2 widget.
1094
1095 Linux-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1096 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using <tt>clone</tt>
1097 on Linux. Apart from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows
1098 asynchronous <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt> and <tt>close</tt> (and more)
1099 calls, which often are a substantial problem. See also its (newer) brother
1100 <tt>IO-AIO</tt>.
1101
1102 Linux-Inotify2 cpan cvs-pod(Inotify2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1103 A better/less buggy/more portable interface to the Linux Inotify
1104 subsystem then what Linux::Inotify has to offer. Inotify lets you receive
1105 file change, create, move etc. events for directories in files in a more
1106 scalable fashion than dnotify, the older mechanism.
1107
1108 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)

1114 A Perl interface to the clone(2) and unshare(2) syscalls.
1115
1116 Urlader cpan cvs-pod(Urlader.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1117 A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
1118
1119 Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting
1120 executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not
1121 restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache
1122 unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold
1123 on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.
1124
1125 Mozilla-Plugin
1126 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-somewhat-working Perl plug-in
1127 for Mozilla (Netscape, Opera, IE...), that allows embedding Tk, Gtk etc.

1174 transfers (normal thttpd has problems with this).
1175
1176 wvsniff
1177 Undocumented but nicely working wavelan sniffer that I wrote for use
1178 with my cisco aironet card. If you get it working, praise yourself.
1179
1180 dhcpping cvs-pod(dhcping.pod,)
1181 A version of dhcpping enhanced by <a href="mailto:marco@nethype.de">Marco Maisenhelder</a>
1182 to support passing dhcp options. Intended to test dhcp server implementations.

1190 psycpp git
1191 A project that was aimed to implement a PSYC server in C++.
1192
1193 This is a mostly abandoned project at the moment, however, the repository
1194 contains interesting C++ code that might be useful to someone, especially
1195 the C++ JSON implementation might be of interest. The project is mostly
1196 dead at the moment though...

1207 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1208 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1209
1210 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1211
1212 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1213 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1214 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1215 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1216 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1217 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1218 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1219
1220 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1221
1222 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1223 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1224 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1225 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1226
1227 <ul><li>
1228 <p>FREE</p>
1229
1230 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1231 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1232 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1233 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1234
1235 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1236 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1237 further, in an open developement style.</p>
1238
1239 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1240 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1241 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1242 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1243 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1244 common, behaviour)</p>
1245
1246 </li><li>
1247 <p>FAST</p>
1248
1249 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1250 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1251 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1252 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1253 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1254 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1255 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1256 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1257
1258 </li><li>
1259 <p>PORTABLE</p>
1260
1261 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1262 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1263 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1264
1265 </li><li>
1266 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1267
1268 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1269 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1270 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1271 only a few hours old!</p>
1272
1273 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1274 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1275 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1276 don't have.</p>
1277
1278 <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1279
1280 </li></ul>
1281
1282 <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1283
1284 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1285 is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1286 features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
