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 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
334 releases at <a href="http://stableperl.schmorp.de/dist/">http://stableperl.schmorp.de/dist/</a>.

336 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)
337 rxvt-unicode is a fork of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
338
339 <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
340 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
341 <em>first</em>.</p>
342
343 Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
344
345 <ul>
346 <li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li>
347 <li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale,
348 rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li>
349 <li>Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which
350 improves memory usage and startup time considerably.</li>
351 <li>Embedded perl, for endless customization and improvement opportunities, such as:
352 <ul>
353 <li>Tabbed terminal support.</li>
354 <li>Regex-driven customisable selection that can properly select shell arguments, urls etc.</li>
355 <li>Selection-transformation and option popup menus.</li>
356 <li>Automatically transforming the selection once made.</li>
357 <li>Incremental scrollback buffer search.</li>
358 <li>Automatic URL-underlining and launching.</li>
359 <li>Remote pastebin, digital clock, block graphics to ascii filter and
360 whatever you like to implement for yourself.</li>
361 </ul>
362 </li>
363 <li>Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than
364 rxvt and its many forks, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.</li>
365 <li>Completely flicker-free.</li>
366 <li>Re-wraps long lines instead of splitting or cutting them on resizes.</li>
367 <li>Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).</li>
368 <li>Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between
369 nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).</li>
370 <li>Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.</li>
371 <li>Can easily be embedded into other applications.</li>
372 <li>All documentation accessible through manpages.</li>
373 <li>Locale-independent XIM support.</li>
374 <li>Many small improvements, such as improved and corrected terminfo, improved secondary screen modes,
375 italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.</li>
376 <li>Encapsulation of privileged operations in a separate process (improves security).</li>
377 <li>Optimised for local <i>and</i> remote connections.</li>
378 </ul>
379
380 <br />
381 And its main <em>missing</em> features (which users request but are not (yet?) implemented) are:
382
383 <ul>
384 <li>Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
385 <li>Right-to-Left rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
386 <li>IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)</li>
387 </ul>
388
389 <br />
390
391 There is an IRC channel for discussion on <a
392 href='irc://irc.freenode.net/rxvt-unicode'><tt>irc.freenode.net
393 #rxvt-unicode</tt></a>.
394
395 libptytty dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/libptytty.3.pod) cvs-co(Changes)
396 libptytty is an offspring of rxvt-unicode that handles pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling
397 in mostly OS-independent ways, so it's less of a hassle for you :)
398
399 vt102 list(perl) cvs-co(vt102)
400 <code>vt102</code> is a vt100/102/131 hardware simulator, implementing
401 practical and 100% compatible DEC VT terminal "emulation".
402
403 Most terminal emulators nowadays strive to emulate a DEC VT102
404 terminal (even those claiming to emulate a VT100 usually mean
405 VT102). Unfortunately, even though there are some VT100 simulators,
406 there haven't been any DEC VT102 ones, so it was very hard to test
407 compatibility with the real device.
408
409 Thanks to this simulator, one can now test how the "real" VT102 behaves,
410 and as free extra, it also simulates DEC VT100 and DEC VT131 terminals.
411
412 ROMs are included - a standard Perl 5.10+ installation, the
413 <code>stty</code> utility and the <code>IO::Pty</code> module are
414 required to run the script, and rxvt-unicode, xterm or a similar terminal
415 emulation is required to have display/keyboard support.
416
417 gtkbfc cvs-pod(README)
418 Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement.
419
420 <b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+
421 file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use
422 readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
423
424 Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work
425 for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
426
427 Async-Interrupt cpan cvs-pod(Interrupt.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
428 Allow C/XS libraries to interrupt perl asynchronously.
429
430 This is a module implementing a rarely-needed, very advanced technique
431 to interrupt a running perl interpreter from another thread, or similar,
432 context, at very low overhead.
433
434 CV cpan cvs-pod(bin/cv,) cvs-co(Changes)
435 Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer.
436
437 It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely
438 modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much
439 faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN.
440
441 kgsueme cpan list(kgsueme) cvs-co(Changes)
442 This perl module is about reverse engineering the
443 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html">protocol</a>
444 (<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>)
445 of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>.
446
447 It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a
448 href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp
449 and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and
450 delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write
451 your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for
452 KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to
453 the game of go, look <a href="http://playgo.to/interactive/">here</a>.
454
455 App-Staticperl cpan cvs-pod(bin/staticperl,) cvs-co(Changes)
456 Perl, libc, 100 modules - all in one self-contained 500kb executable.
457
458 App::Staticperl installs a helper script that allows you to install a
459 statically linked (or linkable) perl distribution, install additional
460 modules, and create new perl interpreters with just the selection of
461 modules you need. It is also possible to just create the C source files
462 needed to embed this custom interpreter into your own programs.<p />
463
464 Two pre-built perl binaries (for Linux on x86 or amd64) which
465 include some highly subjective package selections are available as
466 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/smallperl.html">smallperl</a>
467 and
468 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/bigperl.html">bigperl</a>.
469
470 Net-Knuddels cvs-pod(Net/Knuddels.pm,)
471 This perl module provides an API for group communications using the
472 <a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated
473 and only provided as reference.
474
475 This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
476 the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
477 provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
478 so one can learn about the protocol.
479 It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers
480 (although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather
481 ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use
482 IRC instead).
483
484 AnyEvent-ReadLine-Gnu cpan cvs-pod(Gnu.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
485 This is a small interface to Term::ReadLine::Gnu for event-based programs.
486
487 This module has event-based readline, as well as asynchronous message printing
488 with readline figured out for you.
489
490 IO-FDPass cpan cvs-pod(FDPass.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
491 Pass a file descriptor over a socket.
492
493 This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor
494 to another process, using a (streaming) unix domain socket (on POSIX
495 systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems).
496
497 Proc-FastSpawn cpan cvs-pod(FastSpawn.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
498 fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
499
500 The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple:
501 spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as
502 possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but
503 hopefully faster than those two syscalls.
504
505 Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec
506 programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX
507 threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call
508 fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external
509 processes.
510
511 AnyEvent-Fork cpan cvs-pod(Fork.pm,) cvs-pod(Fork/Early.pm) cvs-pod(Fork/Template.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
512 Everything you wanted to use fork() for, but couldn't.
513
514 This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
515 them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
516 preserving most of the advantages of fork.
517
518 It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
519 subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for
520 use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such
521 as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well
522 behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes.
523
524 AnyEvent-Fork-Remote cpan cvs-pod(Remote.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
525 Remote processes with AnyEvent::Fork interface
526
527 Despite what the name of this module might suggest, it doesn't actually
528 create remote processes for you. But it does make it easy to use them,
529 once you have started them.
530
531 This module implements a very similar API as AnyEvent::Fork. In fact,
532 similar enough to require at most minor modifications to support both
533 at the same time. For example, it works with AnyEvent::Fork::RPC and
534 AnyEvent::Fork::Pool.
535
536 AnyEvent-Fork-RPC cpan cvs-pod(RPC.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
537 Simple RPC extension for AnyEvent::Fork
538
539 This module implements a simple RPC protocol and backend for processes
540 created via AnyEvent::Fork, allowing you to call a function in the
541 child process and receive its return values (up to 4GB serialised).
542
543 It implements two different backends: a synchronous one that works like a
544 normal function call, and an asynchronous one that can run multiple jobs
545 concurrently in the child, using AnyEvent.
546
547 It also implements an asynchronous event mechanism from the child to the
548 parent, that could be used for progress indications or other information.
549
550 AnyEvent-Fork-Pool cpan cvs-pod(Pool.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
551 Simple process pool manager on top of AnyEvent::Fork and AnyEvent::Fork::RPC.
552
553 This module uses processes created via AnyEvent::Fork and the RPC
554 protocol implement in AnyEvent::Fork::RPC to create a load-balanced pool
555 of processes that handles jobs.
556
557 Understanding of AnyEvent::Fork is helpful but not critical to be able
558 to use this module, but a thorough understanding of AnyEvent::Fork::RPC
559 is, as it defines the actual API that needs to be implemented in the
560 children.
561
562 Guard cpan cvs-pod(Guard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
563 This small module implements scope and object guards, that is, code blocks
564 that are executed when a scope is being exited (or an object is destroyed).
565
566 Much effort was invested into these guards behaving "sensibly" in the
567 presence of thrown exceptions, errors and other adverse conditions, as
568 well as into good performance.
569
570 OpenCL cpan cvs-pod(OpenCL.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
571 An interface to OpenCL (the Open Computing Language) for Perl.
572
573 Perlized (not C-ish) OpenCL interface.
574
575 common-sense cpan cvs-pod(sense.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
576 This module implements some sane defaults for Perl programs, as defined
577 by two typical (or not so typical - use your common sense) specimens of
578 Perl coders.
579
580 Net-IRC-Server cvs-pod(Net/IRC/Server.pm,)
581 This module provides a simple API for handling the IRC Protocol
582 aiming at implementing lightweight IRC-Servers.
583
584 PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
585 Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
586
587 This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
588 complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
589 of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
590
591 Example:
592
593 <pre>
594 my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
595 "select id, name from db where name like %",
596 "pfx%";
597 while ($st->fetch) {
598 print "$id $name\n";
599 }
600 </pre>
601
602 libcoro cvs-co(README) cvs-co(coro.h)
603 This C-library implements coroutines (cooperative multitasking) in a
604 portable fashion.
605
606 As long as your system implements the <tt>ucontext</tt> (Unix) or the
607 older <tt>sigaltstack</tt> interfaces it should work out of the box,
608 with minimal configuration (it consists of only a single <tt>.h</tt> and
609 a single <tt>.c</tt> file). For the broken systems, it also supports
610 a slow pthreads-based system and (optional) assembly backends for
611 higher speed on some systems. It is known to run on a wide variety of
612 unix systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)
613 and also on Windows, does not require any assembly language and is
614 architecture-independent.

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

698 Algorithm-FEC cpan cvs-pod(FEC.pm,) cvs-co(README.fec) cvs-co(Changes)
699 Perl module implementing forward error correction using Vandermonde matrices
700
701 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)
702 This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process
703 and completion events, independent of a specific event loop.
704
705 <p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally
706 without forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without
707 adding noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event,
708 Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib, Irssi, IO::Async and POE (and thus also
709 WxWidgets and Prima). It also comes with a very fast (see benchmarks in
710 the main manual page) Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which
711 ensures that your program will always run even when no C-based event loop
712 is available.</p>
713
714 <p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent
715 comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver
716 library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to
717 "just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object
718 (and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p>
719
720 <p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP
721 connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4
722 and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6
723 completely transparent.</p>
724
725 <p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and
726 buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers
727 to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and
728 fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p>
729
730 AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
731 This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible
732 ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
733
734 This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined
735 rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block
736 the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of
737 pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or
738 more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a
739 least-load principle.
740
741 A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included.
742
743 AnyEvent-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
744 A perl module providing transparent integration of IO::AIO into AnyEvent.
745
746 AnyEvent-BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
747 A perl module providing transparent integration of BDB into AnyEvent.
748
749 AnyEvent-DBus cpan cvs-pod(DBus.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)

751
752 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
753 A perl module providing an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent.
754
755 This module provides an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent by
756 starting one or more proxy processes that handle trhe actual sql
757 commands.
758
759 AnyEvent-FCP cpan cvs-pod(FCP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
760 A perl module implementing a Freenet Client Protocol 2.0 client.
761
762 AnyEvent-GPSD cpan cvs-pod(GPSD.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
763 A perl module implementing an AnyEvent client for the (pre-xml) GPSD protocol.
764
765 AnyEvent-Porttracker cpan cvs-pod(Porttracker.pm,) cvs-pod(Porttracker/protocol.pod,api-protocol) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
766 A perl module implementing a client for the Porttracker/PortIQ API protocol.
767
768 AnyEvent-SNMP cpan cvs-pod(SNMP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
769 A perl module that transparently integrates Net::SNMP into AnyEvent.
770
771 In addition to making Net::SNMP AnyEvent-aware, this module also
772 implements advanced rate-limiting that enables you to query many devices
773 in parallel without running into timeouts due to high CPU usage.
774
775 AnyEvent-Watchdog cpan cvs-pod(Watchdog.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
776 A perl module implementing a watchdog for Perl processes.
777
778 This module forks your Perl process early during it's startup. It can
779 automatically restart the program on crashes, provide clean restarts
780 requested by the watched program and a number of other small feats.
781
782 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
783 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
784
785 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
786 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
787 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
788 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
789 the RFC.
790
791 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
792 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
793 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
794
795 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
796 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
797 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
798 limited support.
799
800 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)
801 This Perl module (-family) implements a simple message passing framework for Perl.
802
803 Despite its simplicity, you can securely message other processes running
804 on the same or other hosts.
805
806 For an introduction to this module family, see the Intro manual page.
807
808 Coro-MP cpan cvs-pod(MP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
809 This Perl module extends the AnyEvent::MP API with a thread-like/erlang-style API.
810
811 This module implements a thread-like API to AnyEvent::MP that is closer
812 to Erlang than the event-based AnyEvent::MP API. It integrates well into
813 AnyEvent::MP.
814
815 See the AnyEvent::MP module and tutorial for info about the concepts used
816 in AnyEvent::MP.
817
818 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
819 A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous
820 SQL requests.
821
822 This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing
823 separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests.
824
825 It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks.
826
827 Array-Heap cpan cvs-pod(Heap.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)

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

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

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

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

938 libecb cvs-co(README) cvs-pod(ecb.pod) cvs-co(ecb.h) dist list(libev)
939 The e compiler builtins header/library.
940
941 This project delivers you many gcc builtins, attributes and a number of
942 generally useful low-level functions, such as popcount, expect, prefetch,
943 noinline, assume, unreachable and so on.

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

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

990 libspf cvs-co(README)
991 Libspf is a C library that implements the <a
992 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework"> Sender
993 Policy Framework</a>. It allows software to identify and reject forged
994 envelope-from addresses, a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is
995 defined in Experimental RFC 4408.
996
997 This is not the original home of libspf, but its author (apparently)
998 has vanished for a few years now, and this place took over as a central
999 place to collect patches and possibly make releases.
1000 <p />
1001 James Couzens, if you read this and want to take over, feel free to
1002 contact <a href="mailto:libspf@schmorp.de">me</a>, I'd be thrilled :)
1003
1004 File-Rdiff cpan cvs-pod(Rdiff.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1005 A Perl module that generates remote signatures and patches files using
1006 librsync: basically your interface to librsync.
1007
1008 EV-Glib cpan cvs-pod(Glib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1009 This perl module embeds the default Glib mainloop into the EV event loop. This makes it
1010 possible to use callbacks or modules using the Glib module (e.g. Gtk2 programs) within EV programs. Just
1011 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/Glib-EV.html">Glib::EV</a> module for the reverse approach.
1012
1013 Glib-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1014 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the EV module. This makes
1015 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the EV module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1016 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/EV-Glib.html">EV::Glib</a> module for the reverse approach.
1017
1018 Glib-Event cpan cvs-pod(Event.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1019 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the Event module. This makes
1020 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the Event module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1021 loading it suffices.
1022
1023 GPS
1024 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-working interface to some GPS
1025 devices in Perl.
1026
1027 Linux-DVB cpan cvs-pod(DVB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1028 A perl module that implements a very direct interface to the Linux DVB
1029 API. Also contains utility functions to decode SI data.
1030
1031 Devel-FindRef cpan cvs-pod(FindRef.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1032 A Perl module that tries to track down references to perl values. Can
1033 be a great aid in debugging leak problems by showing where a value
1034 is still being referenced.
1035
1036 BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1037 A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
1038 Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
1039 C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library
1040 and also executes all database changes asynchronously using a thread pool.
1041
1042 IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1043 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
1044 from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
1045 <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
1046 which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
1047 brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
1048
1049 JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1050 JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
1051 modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
1052 flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
1053 datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
1054 JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
1055 such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
1056 speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
1057 usage and implementation details.
1058
1059 CBOR-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1060 CBOR::XS implements the Concise Binary Object Representation (RFC 7049),
1061 which is a kind of "binary JSON" that also has the ability to cleanly
1062 serialise objects. Unlike other binary formats, CBOR is actually capable
1063 of representing all JSON texts, not just a subset of them.
1064
1065 Types-Serialiser cpan cvs-pod(Serialiser.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1066 This module is an utility module that provides a few simple datatypes,
1067 constants and a serialisation protocol for CBOR::XS. It could be used
1068 for other, similar, serialisation modules (such as JSON::XS), and would
1069 improve interoperability between those modules.
1070
1071 Games-Go-SimpleBoard cpan cvs-pod(SimpleBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1072 A Perl module representing a go board.
1073
1074 This Perl module represents a Go game. It can check for valid moves,
1075 capture stones, stores move history and can represent a variety of
1076 additional annotations (circles, labels, grayed-out stones etc.).
1077
1078 Games-Sokoban cpan cvs-pod(Sokoban.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1079 A perl module to load/transform/save sokoban levels in various formats.
1080
1081 Supports xsb (text), rle, sokevo and a small "binpack" format for input and
1082 output and can normalise levels as well as calculate unique IDs.
1083
1084 Gtk2-GoBoard cpan cvs-pod(GoBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1085 A Perl module implementing a go board widget.
1086
1087 This Perl module implements a beautiful go board (see <a
1088 href="http://data.plan9.de/kgsuemel.jpg">example</a>), implemented as a
1089 Gtk2 widget.
1090
1091 Linux-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1092 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using <tt>clone</tt>
1093 on Linux. Apart from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows
1094 asynchronous <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt> and <tt>close</tt> (and more)
1095 calls, which often are a substantial problem. See also its (newer) brother
1096 <tt>IO-AIO</tt>.
1097
1098 Linux-Inotify2 cpan cvs-pod(Inotify2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1099 A better/less buggy/more portable interface to the Linux Inotify
1100 subsystem then what Linux::Inotify has to offer. Inotify lets you receive
1101 file change, create, move etc. events for directories in files in a more
1102 scalable fashion than dnotify, the older mechanism.
1103
1104 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)
1105 A Perl module that helps implementing netblock block device servers and
1106 set up NBD instances. A sample application allowing you to mount most CD
1107 images is included.
1108
1109 Linux-Clone cpan cvs-pod(Clone.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1110 A Perl interface to the clone(2) and unshare(2) syscalls.
1111
1112 Urlader cpan cvs-pod(Urlader.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1113 A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
1114
1115 Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting
1116 executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not
1117 restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache
1118 unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold
1119 on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.
1120
1121 Mozilla-Plugin
1122 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-somewhat-working Perl plug-in
1123 for Mozilla (Netscape, Opera, IE...), that allows embedding Tk, Gtk etc.

1153 XML-DB
1154 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished Perl module implementing an "XML
1155 database", i.e. a tree-based database, on top of a conventional SQL
1156 database.
1157
1158 basex
1159 Very old, very portable ANSI-C program that implements something
1160 that is similar to yencode. yencode is more "standard", so don't use this.
1161
1162 dinfo
1163 Undocumented and working tools to extract the data from the D-Info CD.
1164
1165 syncmail
1166 Unfinished, undocumented and not working.

1170 transfers (normal thttpd has problems with this).
1171
1172 wvsniff
1173 Undocumented but nicely working wavelan sniffer that I wrote for use
1174 with my cisco aironet card. If you get it working, praise yourself.
1175
1176 dhcpping cvs-pod(dhcping.pod,)
1177 A version of dhcpping enhanced by <a href="mailto:marco@nethype.de">Marco Maisenhelder</a>
1178 to support passing dhcp options. Intended to test dhcp server implementations.
1179
1180 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1181 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1182
1183 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1184
1185 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1186 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1187 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1188 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1189 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1190 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1191 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1192
1193 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1194
1195 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1196 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1197 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1198 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1199
1200 <ul><li>
1201 <p>FREE</p>
1202
1203 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1204 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1205 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1206 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1207
1208 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1209 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1210 further, in an open developement style.</p>
1211
1212 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1213 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1214 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1215 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1216 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1217 common, behaviour)</p>
1218
1219 </li><li>
1220 <p>FAST</p>
1221
1222 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1223 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1224 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1225 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1226 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1227 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1228 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1229 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1230
1231 </li><li>
1232 <p>PORTABLE</p>
1233
1234 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1235 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1236 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1237
1238 </li><li>
1239 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1240
1241 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1242 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1243 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1244 only a few hours old!</p>
1245
1246 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1247 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1248 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1249 don't have.</p>
1250
1251 <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1252
1253 </li></ul>
1254
1255 <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1256
1257 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1258 is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1259 features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1260 fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1261 always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1262 clear now ;)</p>
