326 __DATA__
327 stableperl list(perl) modules()
328 Stableperl is a fork, or a branch, of the official perl with the goal
329 of providing stability and compatibility. See <a
330 href="http://stableperl.schmorp.de/">stableperl.schmorp.de</a> for
331 details.
332
333 <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
334 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
335 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)
336 rxvt-unicode is a fork of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
337
338 <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
339 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
340 <em>first</em>.</p>
341
342 Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
343
344 <ul>
345 <li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li>
346 <li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale,
347 rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li>
348 <li>Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which
349 improves memory usage and startup time considerably.</li>
350 <li>Embedded perl, for endless customization and improvement opportunities, such as:
351 <ul>
352 <li>Tabbed terminal support.</li>
353 <li>Regex-driven customisable selection that can properly select shell arguments, urls etc.</li>
354 <li>Selection-transformation and option popup menus.</li>
355 <li>Automatically transforming the selection once made.</li>
356 <li>Incremental scrollback buffer search.</li>
357 <li>Automatic URL-underlining and launching.</li>
358 <li>Remote pastebin, digital clock, block graphics to ascii filter and
359 whatever you like to implement for yourself.</li>
360 </ul>
361 </li>
362 <li>Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than
363 rxvt and its many forks, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.</li>
364 <li>Completely flicker-free.</li>
365 <li>Re-wraps long lines instead of splitting or cutting them on resizes.</li>
366 <li>Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).</li>
367 <li>Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between
368 nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).</li>
369 <li>Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.</li>
370 <li>Can easily be embedded into other applications.</li>
371 <li>All documentation accessible through manpages.</li>
372 <li>Locale-independent XIM support.</li>
373 <li>Many small improvements, such as improved and corrected terminfo, improved secondary screen modes,
374 italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.</li>
375 <li>Encapsulation of privileged operations in a separate process (improves security).</li>
376 <li>Optimised for local <i>and</i> remote connections.</li>
377 </ul>
378
379 <br />
380 And its main <em>missing</em> features (which users request but are not (yet?) implemented) are:
381
382 <ul>
383 <li>Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
384 <li>Right-to-Left rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
385 <li>IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)</li>
386 </ul>
387
388 <br />
389
390 There is an IRC channel for discussion on <a
391 href='irc://irc.freenode.net/rxvt-unicode'><tt>irc.freenode.net
392 #rxvt-unicode</tt></a>.
393
394 libptytty dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/libptytty.3.pod) cvs-co(Changes)
395 libptytty is an offspring of rxvt-unicode that handles pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling
396 in mostly OS-independent ways, so it's less of a hassle for you :)
397
398 vt102 list(perl) cvs-co(vt102)
399 <code>vt102</code> is a vt100/102/131 hardware simulator, implementing
400 practical and 100% compatible DEC VT terminal "emulation".
401
402 Most terminal emulators nowadays strive to emulate a DEC VT102
403 terminal (even those claiming to emulate a VT100 usually mean
404 VT102). Unfortunately, even though there are some VT100 simulators,
405 there haven't been any DEC VT102 ones, so it was very hard to test
406 compatibility with the real device.
407
408 Thanks to this simulator, one can now test how the "real" VT102 behaves,
409 and as free extra, it also simulates DEC VT100 and DEC VT131 terminals.
410
411 ROMs are included - a standard Perl 5.10+ installation, the
412 <code>stty</code> utility and the <code>IO::Pty</code> module are
413 required to run the script, and rxvt-unicode, xterm or a similar terminal
414 emulation is required to have display/keyboard support.
415
416 gtkbfc cvs-pod(README)
417 Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement.
418
419 <b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+
420 file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use
421 readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
422
423 Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work
424 for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
425
426 Async-Interrupt cpan cvs-pod(Interrupt.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
427 Allow C/XS libraries to interrupt perl asynchronously.
428
429 This is a module implementing a rarely-needed, very advanced technique
430 to interrupt a running perl interpreter from another thread, or similar,
431 context, at very low overhead.
432
433 CV cpan cvs-pod(bin/cv,) cvs-co(Changes)
434 Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer.
435
436 It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely
437 modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much
438 faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN.

440 kgsueme cpan list(kgsueme) cvs-co(Changes)
441 This perl module is about reverse engineering the
442 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html">protocol</a>
443 (<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>)
444 of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>.
445
446 It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a
447 href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp
448 and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and
449 delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write
450 your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for
451 KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to
452 the game of go, look <a href="http://playgo.to/interactive/">here</a>.
453
454 App-Staticperl cpan cvs-pod(bin/staticperl,) cvs-co(Changes)
455 Perl, libc, 100 modules - all in one self-contained 500kb executable.
456
457 App::Staticperl installs a helper script that allows you to install a
458 statically linked (or linkable) perl distribution, install additional
459 modules, and create new perl interpreters with just the selection of
460 modules you need. It is also possible to just create the C source files
461 needed to embed this custom interpreter into your own programs.<p />
462
463 Two pre-built perl binaries (for Linux on x86 or amd64) which
464 include some highly subjective package selections are available as
465 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/smallperl.html">smallperl</a>
466 and
467 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/bigperl.html">bigperl</a>.
468
469 Net-Knuddels cvs-pod(Net/Knuddels.pm,)
470 This perl module provides an API for group communications using the
471 <a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated
472 and only provided as reference.
473
474 This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
475 the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
476 provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
477 so one can learn about the protocol.
478 It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers
479 (although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather
480 ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use
481 IRC instead).
482
483 AnyEvent-ReadLine-Gnu cpan cvs-pod(Gnu.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
484 This is a small interface to Term::ReadLine::Gnu for event-based programs.
485
486 This module has event-based readline, as well as asynchronous message printing
487 with readline figured out for you.
488
489 IO-FDPass cpan cvs-pod(FDPass.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
490 Pass a file descriptor over a socket.
491
492 This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor
493 to another process, using a (streaming) unix domain socket (on POSIX
494 systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems).
495
496 Proc-FastSpawn cpan cvs-pod(FastSpawn.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
497 fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
498
499 The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple:
500 spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as
501 possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but
502 hopefully faster than those two syscalls.
503
504 Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec
505 programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX
506 threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call
507 fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external
508 processes.
509
510 AnyEvent-Fork cpan cvs-pod(Fork.pm,) cvs-pod(Fork/Early.pm) cvs-pod(Fork/Template.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
511 Everything you wanted to use fork() for, but couldn't.
512
513 This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
514 them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
515 preserving most of the advantages of fork.
516
517 It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
518 subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for
519 use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such
520 as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well
521 behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes.
522
523 AnyEvent-Fork-Remote cpan cvs-pod(Remote.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
524 Remote processes with AnyEvent::Fork interface
525
526 Despite what the name of this module might suggest, it doesn't actually
527 create remote processes for you. But it does make it easy to use them,
528 once you have started them.
529
530 This module implements a very similar API as AnyEvent::Fork. In fact,
531 similar enough to require at most minor modifications to support both
532 at the same time. For example, it works with AnyEvent::Fork::RPC and
533 AnyEvent::Fork::Pool.
534
535 AnyEvent-Fork-RPC cpan cvs-pod(RPC.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
536 Simple RPC extension for AnyEvent::Fork
537
538 This module implements a simple RPC protocol and backend for processes
539 created via AnyEvent::Fork, allowing you to call a function in the
540 child process and receive its return values (up to 4GB serialised).
541
542 It implements two different backends: a synchronous one that works like a
543 normal function call, and an asynchronous one that can run multiple jobs
544 concurrently in the child, using AnyEvent.
545
546 It also implements an asynchronous event mechanism from the child to the
547 parent, that could be used for progress indications or other information.
548
549 AnyEvent-Fork-Pool cpan cvs-pod(Pool.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
550 Simple process pool manager on top of AnyEvent::Fork and AnyEvent::Fork::RPC.
551
552 This module uses processes created via AnyEvent::Fork and the RPC
553 protocol implement in AnyEvent::Fork::RPC to create a load-balanced pool
554 of processes that handles jobs.
555
556 Understanding of AnyEvent::Fork is helpful but not critical to be able
557 to use this module, but a thorough understanding of AnyEvent::Fork::RPC
558 is, as it defines the actual API that needs to be implemented in the
559 children.
560
561 Guard cpan cvs-pod(Guard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
562 This small module implements scope and object guards, that is, code blocks
563 that are executed when a scope is being exited (or an object is destroyed).
564
565 Much effort was invested into these guards behaving "sensibly" in the
566 presence of thrown exceptions, errors and other adverse conditions, as
567 well as into good performance.
568
569 OpenCL cpan cvs-pod(OpenCL.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
570 An interface to OpenCL (the Open Computing Language) for Perl.
571
572 Perlized (not C-ish) OpenCL interface.
573
574 common-sense cpan cvs-pod(sense.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
575 This module implements some sane defaults for Perl programs, as defined
576 by two typical (or not so typical - use your common sense) specimens of
577 Perl coders.
578
579 Net-IRC-Server cvs-pod(Net/IRC/Server.pm,)
580 This module provides a simple API for handling the IRC Protocol
581 aiming at implementing lightweight IRC-Servers.
582
583 PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
584 Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
585
586 This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
587 complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
588 of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
589
590 Example:
591
592 <pre>
593 my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
594 "select id, name from db where name like %",
595 "pfx%";
596 while ($st->fetch) {
597 print "$id $name\n";
598 }
599 </pre>
600
601 libcoro cvs-co(README) cvs-co(coro.h)
602 This C-library implements coroutines (cooperative multitasking) in a
603 portable fashion.
604
605 As long as your system implements the <tt>ucontext</tt> (Unix) or the
606 older <tt>sigaltstack</tt> interfaces it should work out of the box,
607 with minimal configuration (it consists of only a single <tt>.h</tt> and
608 a single <tt>.c</tt> file). For the broken systems, it also supports
609 a slow pthreads-based system and (optional) assembly backends for
610 higher speed on some systems. It is known to run on a wide variety of
611 unix systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)
612 and also on Windows, does not require any assembly language and is
613 architecture-independent.

666 Faster cpan cvs-pod(Faster.pm,)
667 A perl module that makes perl run, well, faster, using a very primitive just in time compiler.
668
669 As the name implies, using this module makes your perl program run
670 faster. Actually, much slower initially, as it compiles every function
671 to C and later to a shared object, but then you can expect a performance
672 increase by 10-50%, depending on what your program does.
673
674 liblzf cvs-co(README) cvs-co(lzf.h) dist

700 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)
701 This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process
702 and completion events, independent of a specific event loop.
703
704 <p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally
705 without forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without
706 adding noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event,
707 Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib, Irssi, IO::Async and POE (and thus also
708 WxWidgets and Prima). It also comes with a very fast (see benchmarks in
709 the main manual page) Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which
710 ensures that your program will always run even when no C-based event loop
711 is available.</p>
712
713 <p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent
714 comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver
715 library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to
716 "just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object
717 (and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p>
718
719 <p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP
720 connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4
721 and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6
722 completely transparent.</p>
723
724 <p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and
725 buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers
726 to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and
727 fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p>
728
729 AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
730 This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible
731 ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
732
733 This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined
734 rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block
735 the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of
736 pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or
737 more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a
738 least-load principle.
739
740 A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included.
741
742 AnyEvent-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
743 A perl module providing transparent integration of IO::AIO into AnyEvent.
744
745 AnyEvent-BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
746 A perl module providing transparent integration of BDB into AnyEvent.
747
748 AnyEvent-DBus cpan cvs-pod(DBus.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
749 A perl module providing mostly transparent integration of Net::DBus into AnyEvent.
750
751 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
752 A perl module providing an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent.
753
754 This module provides an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent by
755 starting one or more proxy processes that handle trhe actual sql
756 commands.
757
758 AnyEvent-FCP cpan cvs-pod(FCP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
759 A perl module implementing a Freenet Client Protocol 2.0 client.
760
761 AnyEvent-GPSD cpan cvs-pod(GPSD.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
762 A perl module implementing an AnyEvent client for the (pre-xml) GPSD protocol.
763
764 AnyEvent-Porttracker cpan cvs-pod(Porttracker.pm,) cvs-pod(Porttracker/protocol.pod,api-protocol) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
765 A perl module implementing a client for the Porttracker/PortIQ API protocol.
766
767 AnyEvent-SNMP cpan cvs-pod(SNMP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
768 A perl module that transparently integrates Net::SNMP into AnyEvent.
769
770 In addition to making Net::SNMP AnyEvent-aware, this module also
771 implements advanced rate-limiting that enables you to query many devices
772 in parallel without running into timeouts due to high CPU usage.
773
774 AnyEvent-Watchdog cpan cvs-pod(Watchdog.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
775 A perl module implementing a watchdog for Perl processes.
776
777 This module forks your Perl process early during it's startup. It can
778 automatically restart the program on crashes, provide clean restarts
779 requested by the watched program and a number of other small feats.
780
781 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
782 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
783
784 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
785 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
786 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
787 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
788 the RFC.
789
790 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
791 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
792 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
793
794 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
795 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
796 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
797 limited support.
798
799 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)
800 This Perl module (-family) implements a simple message passing framework for Perl.
801
802 Despite its simplicity, you can securely message other processes running
803 on the same or other hosts.
804
805 For an introduction to this module family, see the Intro manual page.
806
807 Coro-MP cpan cvs-pod(MP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
808 This Perl module extends the AnyEvent::MP API with a thread-like/erlang-style API.
809
810 This module implements a thread-like API to AnyEvent::MP that is closer
811 to Erlang than the event-based AnyEvent::MP API. It integrates well into
812 AnyEvent::MP.
813
814 See the AnyEvent::MP module and tutorial for info about the concepts used
815 in AnyEvent::MP.
816
817 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
818 A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous
819 SQL requests.
820
821 This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing
822 separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests.
823
824 It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks.
825
826 Array-Heap cpan cvs-pod(Heap.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)

837 A Perl module implementing the LZF compression algorithm, and simple
838 to use data structure serialising.
839
840 Convert-CD cvs-pod(lib/Convert/CD.pm,) cvs-pod(bin/cvtiso,cvtiso) cvs-co(doc/) cvs-co(Changes)
841 Unfinished Perl project implementing CD image formats. Extracting ISO images
842 already works.
843
844 Convert-Scalar cpan cvs-pod(Scalar.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
845 Perl module to convert between different representations of Perl scalars.
846
847 Convert-UUlib cpan cvs-pod(UUlib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
848 Perl interface to the uulib library (a.k.a. uudeview/uuenview), which
849 allows easy decoding of multipart mime, uuencode and a whole lot of
850 differently encoded messages. You basically throw files at it, and
851 it extracts the files in them. This module is used by the popular <a

855 A large Perl module family that implements cooperative multitasking in
856 Perl. It supports filehandle and event abstraction and also implements
857 continuations as well as the necessary directives to implement a slightly
858 limited call/cc in Perl.
859
860 Coro-Mysql cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Mysql.pm,)
861 Lets other threads run while doing mysql requests via DBD::mysql.
862
863 This perl module patches libmysqlclient/DBD::mysql at runtime to allow
864 multiple Coro-based threads to make database accesses concurrently,
865 instead of blocking the whole process.
866
867 Crypt-Ed25519 cpan cvs-pod(Ed25519.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
868 A Perl module implementing Ed25519 public key signing and verification.
869
870 Crypt-Spritz cpan cvs-pod(Spritz.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
871 A Perl module implementing the Spritz family of cryptographic algorithms,
872 giving you a stream cipher, a hash, a mac, authenticated encryption
873 with associated data (AEAD) and a cryptographically secure random
874 number generator, at reasonable speed and with very small code size, making
875 Spritz an attractive algorithm for resource-constrained environments
876 such as javascript in your browser, or microcontrollers.
877
878 Crypt-Twofish2 cpan cvs-pod(Twofish2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
879 A Perl module implementing the twofish encryption algorithm in Perl. It has
880 mostly been superceded by the Crypt::Twofish module. However, it supports
881 an easy and fast CBC mode natively.
882
883 Digest-Hashcash cpan cvs-pod(Hashcash.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
884 Perl module to generate and parse <a href="http://www.hashcash.org">hashcashes</a>.

888 EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-pod(../libev/ev.pod,libev-documentation) cvs-pod(EV/MakeMaker.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
889 A thin wrapper around <a href="/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>, a
890 high-performance event loop. Intended as a faster and less buggy
891 replacement for the Event perl module. Efficiently supports very high
892 number of timers, scalable operating system APIs such as epoll, kqueue,
893 solaris's ports, inotify, eventfd, signalfd, child/pid watchers and much
894 more.
895
896 A <a href="http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/libev">mailing

899 EV-ADNS cpan cvs-pod(ADNS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
900 An asynchronous stub resolver that integrates efficiently into
901 the EV event loop. Uses adns/libadns as backend.
902
903 EV-Loop-Async cpan cvs-pod(Async.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
904 Small module that runs an EV event loop in another thread
905 and uses an Async-Interrupt object to signal new events
906 to perl.
907
908 Net-SNMP-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
909 An adaptor that integrates the Net-SNMP Perl module into the EV event loop.
910 Loading it suffices to make background requests in EV programs.
911
912 libev cvs-co(README) cvs-pod(ev.pod) dist list(libev)
913 A full-featured and high-performance (<a
914 href="http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html">see benchmark</a>)
915 event loop that is loosely modelled after libevent, but without
916 its limitations and bugs. It is used in
917 <a href="/pkg/gvpe.html">GNU Virtual Private Ethernet</a>,
918 <a href="/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html">rxvt-unicode</a>, <a
919 href="http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit/">auditd</a>, the
920 <a href="http://www.deliantra.net">Deliantra MORPG</a> Server and Client,
921 and many other programs.
922
923 Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock
924 (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well
925 as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, fast timer
926 management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use.
927 <p />
928
929 It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API or
930 directly embedded into your programs without the need for complex
931 configuration support. A full-featured and well-documented
932 <a href="EV.html">perl interface</a> is also available.

944 gvpe dist-gnu cvs-pod(doc/gvpe.5.pod,) cvs-pod(doc/gvpe.conf.5.pod) cvs-pod(doc/gvpectrl.8.pod) cvs-pod(doc/gvpe.8.pod) cvs-pod(doc/gvpe.protocol.7.pod) cvs-pod(doc/gvpe.osdep.5.pod)
945 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet network with multiple nodes using a
946 variety of transport protocols. Participating nodes do not need to trust
947 each other.
948
949 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet (broadcasts supported, any protocol that
950 works with a normal ethernet should work with GVPE) by creating encrypted
951 host-to-host tunnels between multiple endpoints.
952 <p />
953 Unlike other virtual private "network" solutions which merely create a
954 single tunnel, GVPE creates a real network with multiple endpoints.
955 <p />
956 It is designed to be very simple and robust (cipher selection done at
957 compiletime etc.), and easy to setup (only a single config file shared
958 unmodified between all hosts).
959 <p />
960 VPN hosts can neither sniff nor fake packets, that is, you can use
961 MAC-based filtering to ensure authenticity of packets even from member
962 nodes.
963 <p />
964 GVPE can also be used to tunnel into some vpn network using a variety of
965 protocols (raw IP, UDP, TCP, HTTPS-proxy-connect, ICMP and DNS). It is,
966 however, primarily designed to sit on the gateway machines of company
967 branches to connect them together.

969 libeio dist cvs-pod(eio.pod,) cvs-co(eio.h) cvs-co(demo.c) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
970 Event-based fully asynchronous I/O library for C (used by IO::AIO).
971 Currently in BETA!
972
973 <p>Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library
974 for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as <a
975 href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>. Features
976 include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync,
977 mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on
978 solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead
979 (emulated where not available).</p>
980
981 <p>It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any
982 event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very
983 portable and relies only on POSIX threads.</p>
984
985 <p>Its code, documentation, integration and portability quality is
986 currently below that of libev, but should soon be ready for use in
987 production environments.</p>

989 libspf cvs-co(README)
990 Libspf is a C library that implements the <a
991 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework"> Sender
992 Policy Framework</a>. It allows software to identify and reject forged
993 envelope-from addresses, a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is
994 defined in Experimental RFC 4408.
995
996 This is not the original home of libspf, but its author (apparently)
997 has vanished for a few years now, and this place took over as a central
998 place to collect patches and possibly make releases.
999 <p />
1000 James Couzens, if you read this and want to take over, feel free to
1001 contact <a href="mailto:libspf@schmorp.de">me</a>, I'd be thrilled :)
1002
1003 File-Rdiff cpan cvs-pod(Rdiff.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1004 A Perl module that generates remote signatures and patches files using
1005 librsync: basically your interface to librsync.
1006
1007 EV-Glib cpan cvs-pod(Glib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1008 This perl module embeds the default Glib mainloop into the EV event loop. This makes it
1009 possible to use callbacks or modules using the Glib module (e.g. Gtk2 programs) within EV programs. Just
1010 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/Glib-EV.html">Glib::EV</a> module for the reverse approach.
1011
1012 Glib-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1013 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the EV module. This makes
1014 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the EV module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1015 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/EV-Glib.html">EV::Glib</a> module for the reverse approach.
1016
1017 Glib-Event cpan cvs-pod(Event.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1018 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the Event module. This makes
1019 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the Event module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1020 loading it suffices.
1021
1022 GPS
1023 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-working interface to some GPS
1024 devices in Perl.
1025
1026 Linux-DVB cpan cvs-pod(DVB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1027 A perl module that implements a very direct interface to the Linux DVB
1028 API. Also contains utility functions to decode SI data.
1029
1030 Devel-FindRef cpan cvs-pod(FindRef.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1031 A Perl module that tries to track down references to perl values. Can
1032 be a great aid in debugging leak problems by showing where a value
1033 is still being referenced.
1034
1035 BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1036 A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
1037 Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
1038 C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library
1039 and also executes all database changes asynchronously using a thread pool.
1040
1041 IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1042 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
1043 from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
1044 <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
1045 which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
1046 brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
1047
1048 JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1049 JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
1050 modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
1051 flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
1052 datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
1053 JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
1054 such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
1055 speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
1056 usage and implementation details.
1057
1058 CBOR-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1059 CBOR::XS implements the Concise Binary Object Representation (RFC 7049),
1060 which is a kind of "binary JSON" that also has the ability to cleanly
1061 serialise objects. Unlike other binary formats, CBOR is actually capable
1062 of representing all JSON texts, not just a subset of them.
1063
1064 Types-Serialiser cpan cvs-pod(Serialiser.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1065 This module is an utility module that provides a few simple datatypes,
1066 constants and a serialisation protocol for CBOR::XS. It could be used
1067 for other, similar, serialisation modules (such as JSON::XS), and would
1068 improve interoperability between those modules.
1069
1070 Games-Go-SimpleBoard cpan cvs-pod(SimpleBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1071 A Perl module representing a go board.
1072
1073 This Perl module represents a Go game. It can check for valid moves,
1074 capture stones, stores move history and can represent a variety of
1075 additional annotations (circles, labels, grayed-out stones etc.).
1076
1077 Games-Sokoban cpan cvs-pod(Sokoban.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1078 A perl module to load/transform/save sokoban levels in various formats.
1079
1080 Supports xsb (text), rle, sokevo and a small "binpack" format for input and
1081 output and can normalise levels as well as calculate unique IDs.
1082
1083 Gtk2-GoBoard cpan cvs-pod(GoBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1084 A Perl module implementing a go board widget.
1085
1086 This Perl module implements a beautiful go board (see <a
1087 href="http://data.plan9.de/kgsuemel.jpg">example</a>), implemented as a
1088 Gtk2 widget.
1089
1090 Linux-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1091 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using <tt>clone</tt>
1092 on Linux. Apart from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows
1093 asynchronous <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt> and <tt>close</tt> (and more)
1094 calls, which often are a substantial problem. See also its (newer) brother
1095 <tt>IO-AIO</tt>.
1096
1097 Linux-Inotify2 cpan cvs-pod(Inotify2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1098 A better/less buggy/more portable interface to the Linux Inotify
1099 subsystem then what Linux::Inotify has to offer. Inotify lets you receive
1100 file change, create, move etc. events for directories in files in a more
1101 scalable fashion than dnotify, the older mechanism.
1102
1103 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)
1104 A Perl module that helps implementing netblock block device servers and
1105 set up NBD instances. A sample application allowing you to mount most CD
1106 images is included.
1107
1108 Linux-Clone cpan cvs-pod(Clone.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1109 A Perl interface to the clone(2) and unshare(2) syscalls.
1110
1111 Urlader cpan cvs-pod(Urlader.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1112 A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
1113
1114 Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting
1115 executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not
1116 restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache
1117 unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold
1118 on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.
1119
1120 Mozilla-Plugin
1121 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-somewhat-working Perl plug-in
1122 for Mozilla (Netscape, Opera, IE...), that allows embedding Tk, Gtk etc.

1149 facilitate automatica sender search and detection, EPG decoding and
1150 viewing and video grabbing.
1151
1152 XML-DB
1153 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished Perl module implementing an "XML
1154 database", i.e. a tree-based database, on top of a conventional SQL
1155 database.
1156
1157 basex
1158 Very old, very portable ANSI-C program that implements something
1159 that is similar to yencode. yencode is more "standard", so don't use this.
1160
1161 dinfo
1162 Undocumented and working tools to extract the data from the D-Info CD.
1163
1164 syncmail
1165 Unfinished, undocumented and not working.

1169 transfers (normal thttpd has problems with this).
1170
1171 wvsniff
1172 Undocumented but nicely working wavelan sniffer that I wrote for use
1173 with my cisco aironet card. If you get it working, praise yourself.
1174
1175 dhcpping cvs-pod(dhcping.pod,)
1176 A version of dhcpping enhanced by <a href="mailto:marco@nethype.de">Marco Maisenhelder</a>
1177 to support passing dhcp options. Intended to test dhcp server implementations.
1178
1179 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1180 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1181
1182 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1183
1184 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1185 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1186 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1187 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1188 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1189 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1190 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1191
1192 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1193
1194 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1195 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1196 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1197 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1198
1199 <ul><li>
1200 <p>FREE</p>
1201
1202 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1203 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1204 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1205 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1206
1207 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1208 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1209 further, in an open developement style.</p>
1210
1211 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1212 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1213 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1214 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1215 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1216 common, behaviour)</p>
1217
1218 </li><li>
1219 <p>FAST</p>
1220
1221 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1222 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1223 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1224 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1225 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1226 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1227 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1228 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1229
1230 </li><li>
1231 <p>PORTABLE</p>
1232
1233 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1234 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1235 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1236
1237 </li><li>
1238 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1239
1240 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1241 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1242 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1243 only a few hours old!</p>
1244
1245 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1246 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1247 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1248 don't have.</p>
1249
1250 <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1251
1252 </li></ul>
1253
1254 <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1255
1256 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1257 is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1258 features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1259 fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1260 always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1261 clear now ;)</p>
