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 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>.
335
336 Canary-Stability cpan cvs-pod(Stability.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(perl)
337 A little bird that doubles as an early warning system.
338
339 Wasn't early but rather late, but at least it is warning now.
340
341 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)
342 rxvt-unicode is a fork of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
343
344 <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
345 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
346 <em>first</em>.</p>
347
348 Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
349
350 <ul>
351 <li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li>
352 <li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale,
353 rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li>
354 <li>Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which
355 improves memory usage and startup time considerably.</li>
356 <li>Embedded perl, for endless customization and improvement opportunities, such as:
357 <ul>
358 <li>Tabbed terminal support.</li>
359 <li>Regex-driven customisable selection that can properly select shell arguments, urls etc.</li>
360 <li>Selection-transformation and option popup menus.</li>
361 <li>Automatically transforming the selection once made.</li>
362 <li>Incremental scrollback buffer search.</li>
363 <li>Automatic URL-underlining and launching.</li>
364 <li>Remote pastebin, digital clock, block graphics to ascii filter and
365 whatever you like to implement for yourself.</li>
366 </ul>
367 </li>
368 <li>Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than
369 rxvt and its many forks, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.</li>
370 <li>Completely flicker-free.</li>
371 <li>Re-wraps long lines instead of splitting or cutting them on resizes.</li>
372 <li>Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).</li>
373 <li>Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between
374 nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).</li>
375 <li>Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.</li>
376 <li>Can easily be embedded into other applications.</li>
377 <li>All documentation accessible through manpages.</li>
378 <li>Locale-independent XIM support.</li>
379 <li>Many small improvements, such as improved and corrected terminfo, improved secondary screen modes,
380 italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.</li>
381 <li>Encapsulation of privileged operations in a separate process (improves security).</li>
382 <li>Optimised for local <i>and</i> remote connections.</li>
383 </ul>
384
385 <br />
386 And its main <em>missing</em> features (which users request but are not (yet?) implemented) are:
387
388 <ul>
389 <li>Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
390 <li>Right-to-Left rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
391 <li>IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)</li>
392 </ul>
393
394 <br />
395
396 There is an IRC channel for discussion on <a
397 href='irc://irc.freenode.net/rxvt-unicode'><tt>irc.freenode.net
398 #rxvt-unicode</tt></a>.
399
400 libptytty dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/libptytty.3.pod) cvs-co(Changes)
401 libptytty is an offspring of rxvt-unicode that handles pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling
402 in mostly OS-independent ways, so it's less of a hassle for you :)
403
404 vt102 list(perl) cvs-co(vt102)
405 <code>vt102</code> is a vt100/102/131 hardware simulator, implementing
406 practical and 100% compatible DEC VT terminal "emulation".
407
408 Most terminal emulators nowadays strive to emulate a DEC VT102
409 terminal (even those claiming to emulate a VT100 usually mean
410 VT102). Unfortunately, even though there are some VT100 simulators,
411 there haven't been any DEC VT102 ones, so it was very hard to test
412 compatibility with the real device.
413
414 Thanks to this simulator, one can now test how the "real" VT102 behaves,
415 and as free extra, it also simulates DEC VT100 and DEC VT131 terminals.
416
417 ROMs are included - a standard Perl 5.10+ installation, the
418 <code>stty</code> utility and the <code>IO::Pty</code> module are
419 required to run the script, and rxvt-unicode, xterm or a similar terminal
420 emulation is required to have display/keyboard support.
421
422 gtkbfc cvs-pod(README)
423 Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement.
424
425 <b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+
426 file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use
427 readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
428
429 Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work
430 for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
431
432 Async-Interrupt cpan cvs-pod(Interrupt.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
433 Allow C/XS libraries to interrupt perl asynchronously.
434
435 This is a module implementing a rarely-needed, very advanced technique
436 to interrupt a running perl interpreter from another thread, or similar,
437 context, at very low overhead.
438
439 CV cpan cvs-pod(bin/cv,) cvs-co(Changes)
440 Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer.
441
442 It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely
443 modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much
444 faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN.
445
446 kgsueme cpan list(kgsueme) cvs-co(Changes)
447 This perl module is about reverse engineering the
448 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html">protocol</a>
449 (<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>)
450 of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>.
451
452 It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a
453 href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp
454 and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and
455 delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write
456 your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for
457 KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to
458 the game of go, look <a href="http://playgo.to/interactive/">here</a>.
459
460 App-Staticperl cpan cvs-pod(bin/staticperl,) cvs-co(Changes)
461 Perl, libc, 100 modules - all in one self-contained 500kb executable.
462
463 App::Staticperl installs a helper script that allows you to install a
464 statically linked (or linkable) perl distribution, install additional
465 modules, and create new perl interpreters with just the selection of
466 modules you need. It is also possible to just create the C source files
467 needed to embed this custom interpreter into your own programs.<p />
468
469 Two pre-built perl binaries (for Linux on x86 or amd64) which
470 include some highly subjective package selections are available as
471 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/smallperl.html">smallperl</a>
472 and
473 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/bigperl.html">bigperl</a>.
474
475 Net-Knuddels cvs-pod(Net/Knuddels.pm,)
476 This perl module provides an API for group communications using the
477 <a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated
478 and only provided as reference.
479
480 This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
481 the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
482 provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
483 so one can learn about the protocol.
484 It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers
485 (although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather
486 ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use
487 IRC instead).
488
489 AnyEvent-ReadLine-Gnu cpan cvs-pod(Gnu.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
490 This is a small interface to Term::ReadLine::Gnu for event-based programs.
491
492 This module has event-based readline, as well as asynchronous message printing
493 with readline figured out for you.
494
495 IO-FDPass cpan cvs-pod(FDPass.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
496 Pass a file descriptor over a socket.
497
498 This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor
499 to another process, using a (streaming) unix domain socket (on POSIX
500 systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems).
501
502 Proc-FastSpawn cpan cvs-pod(FastSpawn.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
503 fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
504
505 The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple:
506 spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as
507 possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but
508 hopefully faster than those two syscalls.
509
510 Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec
511 programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX
512 threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call
513 fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external
514 processes.
515
516 AnyEvent-Fork cpan cvs-pod(Fork.pm,) cvs-pod(Fork/Early.pm) cvs-pod(Fork/Template.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
517 Everything you wanted to use fork() for, but couldn't.
518
519 This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
520 them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
521 preserving most of the advantages of fork.
522
523 It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
524 subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for
525 use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such
526 as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well
527 behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes.
528
529 AnyEvent-Fork-Remote cpan cvs-pod(Remote.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
530 Remote processes with AnyEvent::Fork interface
531
532 Despite what the name of this module might suggest, it doesn't actually
533 create remote processes for you. But it does make it easy to use them,
534 once you have started them.
535
536 This module implements a very similar API as AnyEvent::Fork. In fact,
537 similar enough to require at most minor modifications to support both
538 at the same time. For example, it works with AnyEvent::Fork::RPC and
539 AnyEvent::Fork::Pool.
540
541 AnyEvent-Fork-RPC cpan cvs-pod(RPC.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
542 Simple RPC extension for AnyEvent::Fork
543
544 This module implements a simple RPC protocol and backend for processes
545 created via AnyEvent::Fork, allowing you to call a function in the
546 child process and receive its return values (up to 4GB serialised).
547
548 It implements two different backends: a synchronous one that works like a
549 normal function call, and an asynchronous one that can run multiple jobs
550 concurrently in the child, using AnyEvent.
551
552 It also implements an asynchronous event mechanism from the child to the
553 parent, that could be used for progress indications or other information.
554
555 AnyEvent-Fork-Pool cpan cvs-pod(Pool.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
556 Simple process pool manager on top of AnyEvent::Fork and AnyEvent::Fork::RPC.
557
558 This module uses processes created via AnyEvent::Fork and the RPC
559 protocol implement in AnyEvent::Fork::RPC to create a load-balanced pool
560 of processes that handles jobs.
561
562 Understanding of AnyEvent::Fork is helpful but not critical to be able
563 to use this module, but a thorough understanding of AnyEvent::Fork::RPC
564 is, as it defines the actual API that needs to be implemented in the
565 children.
566
567 Guard cpan cvs-pod(Guard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
568 This small module implements scope and object guards, that is, code blocks
569 that are executed when a scope is being exited (or an object is destroyed).
570
571 Much effort was invested into these guards behaving "sensibly" in the
572 presence of thrown exceptions, errors and other adverse conditions, as
573 well as into good performance.
574
575 OpenCL cpan cvs-pod(OpenCL.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
576 An interface to OpenCL (the Open Computing Language) for Perl.
577
578 Perlized (not C-ish) OpenCL interface.
579
580 common-sense cpan cvs-pod(sense.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
581 This module implements some sane defaults for Perl programs, as defined
582 by two typical (or not so typical - use your common sense) specimens of
583 Perl coders.
584
585 Net-IRC-Server cvs-pod(Net/IRC/Server.pm,)
586 This module provides a simple API for handling the IRC Protocol
587 aiming at implementing lightweight IRC-Servers.
588
589 PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
590 Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
591
592 This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
593 complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
594 of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
595
596 Example:
597
598 <pre>
599 my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
600 "select id, name from db where name like %",
601 "pfx%";
602 while ($st->fetch) {
603 print "$id $name\n";
604 }
605 </pre>
606
607 libcoro cvs-co(README) cvs-co(coro.h)
608 This C-library implements coroutines (cooperative multitasking) in a
609 portable fashion.
610
611 As long as your system implements the <tt>ucontext</tt> (Unix) or the
612 older <tt>sigaltstack</tt> interfaces it should work out of the box,
613 with minimal configuration (it consists of only a single <tt>.h</tt> and
614 a single <tt>.c</tt> file). For the broken systems, it also supports
615 a slow pthreads-based system and (optional) assembly backends for
616 higher speed on some systems. It is known to run on a wide variety of
617 unix systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)
618 and also on Windows, does not require any assembly language and is
619 architecture-independent.

672 Faster cpan cvs-pod(Faster.pm,)
673 A perl module that makes perl run, well, faster, using a very primitive just in time compiler.
674
675 As the name implies, using this module makes your perl program run
676 faster. Actually, much slower initially, as it compiles every function
677 to C and later to a shared object, but then you can expect a performance
678 increase by 10-50%, depending on what your program does.
679

703 Algorithm-FEC cpan cvs-pod(FEC.pm,) cvs-co(README.fec) cvs-co(Changes)
704 Perl module implementing forward error correction using Vandermonde matrices
705
706 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)
707 This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process
708 and completion events, independent of a specific event loop.
709
710 <p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally
711 without forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without
712 adding noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event,
713 Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib, Irssi, IO::Async and POE (and thus also
714 WxWidgets and Prima). It also comes with a very fast (see benchmarks in
715 the main manual page) Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which
716 ensures that your program will always run even when no C-based event loop
717 is available.</p>
718
719 <p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent
720 comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver
721 library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to
722 "just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object
723 (and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p>
724
725 <p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP
726 connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4
727 and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6
728 completely transparent.</p>
729
730 <p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and
731 buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers
732 to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and
733 fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p>
734
735 AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
736 This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible
737 ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
738
739 This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined
740 rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block
741 the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of
742 pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or
743 more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a
744 least-load principle.
745
746 A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included.
747
748 AnyEvent-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
749 A perl module providing transparent integration of IO::AIO into AnyEvent.
750
751 AnyEvent-BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
752 A perl module providing transparent integration of BDB into AnyEvent.
753
754 AnyEvent-DBus cpan cvs-pod(DBus.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)

756
757 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
758 A perl module providing an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent.
759
760 This module provides an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent by
761 starting one or more proxy processes that handle trhe actual sql
762 commands.
763
764 AnyEvent-FCP cpan cvs-pod(FCP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
765 A perl module implementing a Freenet Client Protocol 2.0 client.
766
767 AnyEvent-GPSD cpan cvs-pod(GPSD.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
768 A perl module implementing an AnyEvent client for the (pre-xml) GPSD protocol.
769
770 AnyEvent-Porttracker cpan cvs-pod(Porttracker.pm,) cvs-pod(Porttracker/protocol.pod,api-protocol) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
771 A perl module implementing a client for the Porttracker/PortIQ API protocol.
772
773 AnyEvent-ZabbixSender cpan cvs-pod(ZabbixSender.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
774 A perl module implementing an AnyEvent client for the zabbix_sender protocol, used to submit
775 monitoring data items to a zabbix server or proxy.
776
777 AnyEvent-SNMP cpan cvs-pod(SNMP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
778 A perl module that transparently integrates Net::SNMP into AnyEvent.
779
780 In addition to making Net::SNMP AnyEvent-aware, this module also
781 implements advanced rate-limiting that enables you to query many devices
782 in parallel without running into timeouts due to high CPU usage.
783
784 AnyEvent-Watchdog cpan cvs-pod(Watchdog.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
785 A perl module implementing a watchdog for Perl processes.
786
787 This module forks your Perl process early during it's startup. It can
788 automatically restart the program on crashes, provide clean restarts
789 requested by the watched program and a number of other small feats.
790
791 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
792 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
793
794 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
795 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
796 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
797 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
798 the RFC.
799
800 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
801 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
802 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
803
804 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
805 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
806 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
807 limited support.
808
809 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)
810 This Perl module (-family) implements a simple message passing framework for Perl.
811
812 Despite its simplicity, you can securely message other processes running
813 on the same or other hosts.
814
815 For an introduction to this module family, see the Intro manual page.
816
817 Coro-MP cpan cvs-pod(MP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
818 This Perl module extends the AnyEvent::MP API with a thread-like/erlang-style API.
819
820 This module implements a thread-like API to AnyEvent::MP that is closer
821 to Erlang than the event-based AnyEvent::MP API. It integrates well into
822 AnyEvent::MP.
823
824 See the AnyEvent::MP module and tutorial for info about the concepts used
825 in AnyEvent::MP.
826
827 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
828 A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous
829 SQL requests.
830
831 This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing
832 separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests.
833
834 It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks.
835

847 A Perl module implementing the LZF compression algorithm, and simple
848 to use data structure serialising.
849
850 Convert-CD cvs-pod(lib/Convert/CD.pm,) cvs-pod(bin/cvtiso,cvtiso) cvs-co(doc/) cvs-co(Changes)
851 Unfinished Perl project implementing CD image formats. Extracting ISO images
852 already works.
853
854 Convert-Scalar cpan cvs-pod(Scalar.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
855 Perl module to convert between different representations of Perl scalars.
856
857 Convert-UUlib cpan cvs-pod(UUlib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
858 Perl interface to the uulib library (a.k.a. uudeview/uuenview), which
859 allows easy decoding of multipart mime, uuencode and a whole lot of
860 differently encoded messages. You basically throw files at it, and
861 it extracts the files in them. This module is used by the popular <a
862 href="www.amavis.org">amavis virus scanner</a>.

864 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)
865 A large Perl module family that implements cooperative multitasking in
866 Perl. It supports filehandle and event abstraction and also implements
867 continuations as well as the necessary directives to implement a slightly
868 limited call/cc in Perl.
869
870 Coro-Mysql cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Mysql.pm,)
871 Lets other threads run while doing mysql requests via DBD::mysql.
872
873 This perl module patches libmysqlclient/DBD::mysql at runtime to allow
874 multiple Coro-based threads to make database accesses concurrently,
875 instead of blocking the whole process.
876
877 Coro-Multicore cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Multicore.pm,) cvs-pod(perlmulticore.h) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
878 Runs XS functions transparently in their own XS level thread,
879 running other Coro threads in parallel.
880
881 This perl module allows XS functions that have been properly prepared
882 (see the <a href="http://perlmulticore.schmorp.de">Perl Multicore
883 Specification</a>) to run in parallel to other Coro threads, in their own
884 OS level thread.
885
886 Crypt-Ed25519 cpan cvs-pod(Ed25519.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
887 A Perl module implementing Ed25519 public key signing and verification.
888
889 Crypt-Spritz cpan cvs-pod(Spritz.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
890 A Perl module implementing the Spritz family of cryptographic algorithms,
891 giving you a stream cipher, a hash, a mac, authenticated encryption
892 with associated data (AEAD) and a cryptographically secure random
893 number generator, at reasonable speed and with very small code size, making
894 Spritz an attractive algorithm for resource-constrained environments
895 such as javascript in your browser, or microcontrollers.
896
897 Crypt-Twofish2 cpan cvs-pod(Twofish2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
898 A Perl module implementing the twofish encryption algorithm in Perl. It has
899 mostly been superceded by the Crypt::Twofish module. However, it supports
900 an easy and fast CBC mode natively.
901
902 Digest-Hashcash cpan cvs-pod(Hashcash.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
903 Perl module to generate and parse <a href="http://www.hashcash.org">hashcashes</a>.
904 Follow the link to learn more. This module is currently faster than
905 the hashcash reference library.
906
907 Digest-FNV-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
908 Perl module to generate FNV hashes (FNV-0, FNV-1, FNV-1a in 32 and 64 bit)
909 plus utiilities for xor folding and retry mapping. The main selling
910 point over Digest::FNV is that it works with binary data.
911
912 EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-pod(../libev/ev.pod,libev-documentation) cvs-pod(EV/MakeMaker.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
913 A thin wrapper around <a href="/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>, a
914 high-performance event loop. Intended as a faster and less buggy
915 replacement for the Event perl module. Efficiently supports very high
916 number of timers, scalable operating system APIs such as epoll, kqueue,
917 solaris's ports, inotify, eventfd, signalfd, child/pid watchers and much
918 more.
919
920 A <a href="http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/libev">mailing
921 list</a> for discussion and support is now available.
922
923 EV-ADNS cpan cvs-pod(ADNS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
924 An asynchronous stub resolver that integrates efficiently into
925 the EV event loop. Uses adns/libadns as backend.
926
927 EV-Loop-Async cpan cvs-pod(Async.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
928 Small module that runs an EV event loop in another thread
929 and uses an Async-Interrupt object to signal new events
930 to perl.
931
932 Net-SNMP-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
933 An adaptor that integrates the Net-SNMP Perl module into the EV event loop.
934 Loading it suffices to make background requests in EV programs.
935
936 libev cvs-co(README) cvs-pod(ev.pod) dist list(libev)
937 A full-featured and high-performance (<a
938 href="http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html">see benchmark</a>)
939 event loop that is loosely modelled after libevent, but without
940 its limitations and bugs. It is used in
941 <a href="/pkg/gvpe.html">GNU Virtual Private Ethernet</a>,
942 <a href="/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html">rxvt-unicode</a>, <a
943 href="http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit/">auditd</a>, the
944 <a href="http://www.deliantra.net">Deliantra MORPG</a> Server and Client,
945 and many other programs.
946
947 Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock
948 (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well
949 as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, fast timer
950 management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use.
951 <p />
952
953 It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API or
954 directly embedded into your programs without the need for complex
955 configuration support. A full-featured and well-documented
956 <a href="EV.html">perl interface</a> is also available.

961 libecb cvs-co(README) cvs-pod(ecb.pod) cvs-co(ecb.h) dist list(libev)
962 The e compiler builtins header/library.
963
964 This project delivers you many gcc builtins, attributes and a number of
965 generally useful low-level functions, such as popcount, expect, prefetch,
966 noinline, assume, unreachable and so on.

968 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)
969 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet network with multiple nodes using a
970 variety of transport protocols. Participating nodes do not need to trust
971 each other.
972
973 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet (broadcasts supported, any protocol that
974 works with a normal ethernet should work with GVPE) by creating encrypted
975 host-to-host tunnels between multiple endpoints.
976 <p />
977 Unlike other virtual private "network" solutions which merely create a
978 single tunnel, GVPE creates a real network with multiple endpoints.
979 <p />
980 It is designed to be very simple and robust (cipher selection done at
981 compiletime etc.), and easy to setup (only a single config file shared
982 unmodified between all hosts).
983 <p />
984 VPN hosts can neither sniff nor fake packets, that is, you can use
985 MAC-based filtering to ensure authenticity of packets even from member
986 nodes.
987 <p />
988 GVPE can also be used to tunnel into some vpn network using a variety of
989 protocols (raw IP, UDP, TCP, HTTPS-proxy-connect, ICMP and DNS). It is,
990 however, primarily designed to sit on the gateway machines of company
991 branches to connect them together.
992
993 libeio dist cvs-pod(eio.pod,) cvs-co(eio.h) cvs-co(demo.c) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
994 Event-based fully asynchronous I/O library for C (used by IO::AIO).
995 Currently in BETA!
996
997 <p>Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library
998 for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as <a
999 href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>. Features
1000 include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync,
1001 mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on
1002 solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead
1003 (emulated where not available).</p>
1004
1005 <p>It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any
1006 event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very
1007 portable and relies only on POSIX threads.</p>
1008
1009 <p>Its code, documentation, integration and portability quality is
1010 currently below that of libev, but should soon be ready for use in
1011 production environments.</p>
1012
1013 libspf cvs-co(README)
1014 Libspf is a C library that implements the <a
1015 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework"> Sender
1016 Policy Framework</a>. It allows software to identify and reject forged
1017 envelope-from addresses, a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is
1018 defined in Experimental RFC 4408.
1019
1020 This is not the original home of libspf, but its author (apparently)
1021 has vanished for a few years now, and this place took over as a central
1022 place to collect patches and possibly make releases.
1023 <p />
1024 James Couzens, if you read this and want to take over, feel free to
1025 contact <a href="mailto:libspf@schmorp.de">me</a>, I'd be thrilled :)
1026
1027 File-Rdiff cpan cvs-pod(Rdiff.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1028 A Perl module that generates remote signatures and patches files using
1029 librsync: basically your interface to librsync.
1030
1031 EV-Glib cpan cvs-pod(Glib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1032 This perl module embeds the default Glib mainloop into the EV event loop. This makes it
1033 possible to use callbacks or modules using the Glib module (e.g. Gtk2 programs) within EV programs. Just
1034 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/Glib-EV.html">Glib::EV</a> module for the reverse approach.
1035
1036 Glib-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1037 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the EV module. This makes
1038 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the EV module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1039 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/EV-Glib.html">EV::Glib</a> module for the reverse approach.
1040
1041 Glib-Event cpan cvs-pod(Event.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1042 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the Event module. This makes
1043 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the Event module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1044 loading it suffices.
1045
1046 GPS
1047 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-working interface to some GPS
1048 devices in Perl.
1049
1050 Linux-DVB cpan cvs-pod(DVB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1051 A perl module that implements a very direct interface to the Linux DVB
1052 API. Also contains utility functions to decode SI data.
1053
1054 Devel-FindRef cpan cvs-pod(FindRef.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1055 A Perl module that tries to track down references to perl values. Can
1056 be a great aid in debugging leak problems by showing where a value
1057 is still being referenced.
1058
1059 BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1060 A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
1061 Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
1062 C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library
1063 and also executes all database changes asynchronously using a thread pool.
1064
1065 IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1066 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
1067 from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
1068 <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
1069 which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
1070 brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
1071
1072 JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1073 JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
1074 modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
1075 flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
1076 datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
1077 JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
1078 such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
1079 speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
1080 usage and implementation details.
1081
1082 CBOR-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1083 CBOR::XS implements the Concise Binary Object Representation (RFC 7049),
1084 which is a kind of "binary JSON" that also has the ability to cleanly
1085 serialise objects. Unlike other binary formats, CBOR is actually capable
1086 of representing all JSON texts, not just a subset of them.
1087
1088 Types-Serialiser cpan cvs-pod(Serialiser.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1089 This module is an utility module that provides a few simple datatypes,
1090 constants and a serialisation protocol for CBOR::XS. It could be used
1091 for other, similar, serialisation modules (such as JSON::XS), and would
1092 improve interoperability between those modules.
1093
1094 Games-Go-SimpleBoard cpan cvs-pod(SimpleBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1095 A Perl module representing a go board.
1096
1097 This Perl module represents a Go game. It can check for valid moves,
1098 capture stones, stores move history and can represent a variety of
1099 additional annotations (circles, labels, grayed-out stones etc.).
1100
1101 Games-Sokoban cpan cvs-pod(Sokoban.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1102 A perl module to load/transform/save sokoban levels in various formats.
1103
1104 Supports xsb (text), rle, sokevo and a small "binpack" format for input and
1105 output and can normalise levels as well as calculate unique IDs.
1106
1107 Gtk2-GoBoard cpan cvs-pod(GoBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1108 A Perl module implementing a go board widget.
1109
1110 This Perl module implements a beautiful go board (see <a
1111 href="http://data.plan9.de/kgsuemel.jpg">example</a>), implemented as a
1112 Gtk2 widget.
1113
1114 Linux-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1115 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using <tt>clone</tt>
1116 on Linux. Apart from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows
1117 asynchronous <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt> and <tt>close</tt> (and more)
1118 calls, which often are a substantial problem. See also its (newer) brother
1119 <tt>IO-AIO</tt>.
1120
1121 Linux-Inotify2 cpan cvs-pod(Inotify2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1122 A better/less buggy/more portable interface to the Linux Inotify
1123 subsystem then what Linux::Inotify has to offer. Inotify lets you receive
1124 file change, create, move etc. events for directories in files in a more
1125 scalable fashion than dnotify, the older mechanism.
1126
1127 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)
1128 A Perl module that helps implementing netblock block device servers and
1129 set up NBD instances. A sample application allowing you to mount most CD
1130 images is included.
1131
1132 Linux-Clone cpan cvs-pod(Clone.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1133 A Perl interface to the clone(2) and unshare(2) syscalls.
1134
1135 Urlader cpan cvs-pod(Urlader.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1136 A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
1137
1138 Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting
1139 executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not
1140 restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache
1141 unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold
1142 on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.
1143
1144 Mozilla-Plugin
1145 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-somewhat-working Perl plug-in
1146 for Mozilla (Netscape, Opera, IE...), that allows embedding Tk, Gtk etc.

1174 viewing and video grabbing.
1175
1176 XML-DB
1177 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished Perl module implementing an "XML
1178 database", i.e. a tree-based database, on top of a conventional SQL
1179 database.
1180
1181 basex
1182 Very old, very portable ANSI-C program that implements something
1183 that is similar to yencode. yencode is more "standard", so don't use this.
1184
1185 dinfo
1186 Undocumented and working tools to extract the data from the D-Info CD.
1187
1188 syncmail
1189 Unfinished, undocumented and not working.

1191 thttpd
1192 A personally hacked version of thttpd, suitable for lots of file
1193 transfers (normal thttpd has problems with this).
1194
1195 wvsniff
1196 Undocumented but nicely working wavelan sniffer that I wrote for use
1197 with my cisco aironet card. If you get it working, praise yourself.
1198
1199 dhcpping cvs-pod(dhcping.pod,)
1200 A version of dhcpping enhanced by <a href="mailto:marco@nethype.de">Marco Maisenhelder</a>
1201 to support passing dhcp options. Intended to test dhcp server implementations.
1202
1203 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1204 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1205
1206 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1207
1208 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1209 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1210 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1211 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1212 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1213 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1214 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1215
1216 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1217
1218 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1219 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1220 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1221 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1222
1223 <ul><li>
1224 <p>FREE</p>
1225
1226 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1227 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1228 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1229 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1230
1231 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1232 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1233 further, in an open developement style.</p>
1234
1235 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1236 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1237 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1238 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1239 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1240 common, behaviour)</p>
1241
1242 </li><li>
1243 <p>FAST</p>
1244
1245 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1246 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1247 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1248 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1249 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1250 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1251 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1252 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1253
1254 </li><li>
1255 <p>PORTABLE</p>
1256
1257 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1258 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1259 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1260
1261 </li><li>
1262 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1263
1264 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1265 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1266 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1267 only a few hours old!</p>
1268
1269 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1270 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1271 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1272 don't have.</p>
1273
1274 <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1275

1278 <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1279
1280 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1281 is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1282 features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1283 fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1284 always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1285 clear now ;)</p>

1307 Try to treat .xs files as C++ rather than C in your module.
1308
1309 This module can be used to compile C++ XS files. It might not be perfect,
1310 but is meant aa single point that needs patching, so other modules who rely on
1311 it do not have to be pqatched every single time.
