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

657 Faster cpan cvs-pod(Faster.pm,)
658 A perl module that makes perl run, well, faster, using a very primitive just in time compiler.
659
660 As the name implies, using this module makes your perl program run
661 faster. Actually, much slower initially, as it compiles every function
662 to C and later to a shared object, but then you can expect a performance
663 increase by 10-50%, depending on what your program does.
664
665 liblzf cvs-co(README) cvs-co(lzf.h) dist

689 Perl module implementing forward error correction using Vandermonde matrices
690
691 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)
692 This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process
693 and completion events, independent of a specific event loop.
694
695 <p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally
696 without forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without
697 adding noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event,
698 Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib, Irssi, IO::Async and POE (and thus also
699 WxWidgets and Prima). It also comes with a very fast (see benchmarks in
700 the main manual page) Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which
701 ensures that your program will always run even when no C-based event loop
702 is available.</p>
703
704 <p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent
705 comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver
706 library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to
707 "just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object
708 (and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p>
709
710 <p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP
711 connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4
712 and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6
713 completely transparent.</p>
714
715 <p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and
716 buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers
717 to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and
718 fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p>
719
720 AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
721 This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible
722 ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
723
724 This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined
725 rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block
726 the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of
727 pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or
728 more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a
729 least-load principle.
730
731 A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included.
732
733 AnyEvent-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
734 A perl module providing transparent integration of IO::AIO into AnyEvent.
735
736 AnyEvent-BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
737 A perl module providing transparent integration of BDB into AnyEvent.
738
739 AnyEvent-DBus cpan cvs-pod(DBus.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)

741
742 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
743 A perl module providing an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent.
744
745 This module provides an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent by
746 starting one or more proxy processes that handle trhe actual sql
747 commands.
748
749 AnyEvent-FCP cpan cvs-pod(FCP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
750 A perl module implementing a Freenet Client Protocol 2.0 client.
751
752 AnyEvent-GPSD cpan cvs-pod(GPSD.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
753 A perl module implementing an AnyEvent client for the (pre-xml) GPSD protocol.
754
755 AnyEvent-Porttracker cpan cvs-pod(Porttracker.pm,) cvs-pod(Porttracker/protocol.pod,api-protocol) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
756 A perl module implementing a client for the Porttracker/PortIQ API protocol.
757
758 AnyEvent-SNMP cpan cvs-pod(SNMP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
759 A perl module that transparently integrates Net::SNMP into AnyEvent.
760
761 In addition to making Net::SNMP AnyEvent-aware, this module also
762 implements advanced rate-limiting that enables you to query many devices
763 in parallel without running into timeouts due to high CPU usage.
764
765 AnyEvent-Watchdog cpan cvs-pod(Watchdog.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
766 A perl module implementing a watchdog for Perl processes.
767
768 This module forks your Perl process early during it's startup. It can
769 automatically restart the program on crashes, provide clean restarts
770 requested by the watched program and a number of other small feats.
771
772 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
773 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
774
775 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
776 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
777 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
778 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
779 the RFC.
780
781 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
782 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
783 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
784
785 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
786 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
787 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
788 limited support.
789
790 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)
791 This Perl module (-family) implements a simple message passing framework for Perl.
792
793 Despite its simplicity, you can securely message other processes running
794 on the same or other hosts.
795
796 For an introduction to this module family, see the Intro manual page.
797
798 Coro-MP cpan cvs-pod(MP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
799 This Perl module extends the AnyEvent::MP API with a thread-like/erlang-style API.
800
801 This module implements a thread-like API to AnyEvent::MP that is closer
802 to Erlang than the event-based AnyEvent::MP API. It integrates well into
803 AnyEvent::MP.
804
805 See the AnyEvent::MP module and tutorial for info about the concepts used
806 in AnyEvent::MP.
807
808 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
809 A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous
810 SQL requests.
811
812 This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing
813 separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests.
814
815 It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks.
816

832 Unfinished Perl project implementing CD image formats. Extracting ISO images
833 already works.
834
835 Convert-Scalar cpan cvs-pod(Scalar.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
836 Perl module to convert between different representations of Perl scalars.
837
838 Convert-UUlib cpan cvs-pod(UUlib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
839 Perl interface to the uulib library (a.k.a. uudeview/uuenview), which
840 allows easy decoding of multipart mime, uuencode and a whole lot of
841 differently encoded messages. You basically throw files at it, and
842 it extracts the files in them. This module is used by the popular <a
843 href="www.amavis.org">amavis virus scanner</a>.

846 A large Perl module family that implements cooperative multitasking in
847 Perl. It supports filehandle and event abstraction and also implements
848 continuations as well as the necessary directives to implement a slightly
849 limited call/cc in Perl.
850
851 Coro-Mysql cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Mysql.pm,)
852 Lets other threads run while doing mysql requests via DBD::mysql.
853
854 This perl module patches libmysqlclient/DBD::mysql at runtime to allow
855 multiple Coro-based threads to make database accesses concurrently,
856 instead of blocking the whole process.
857
858 Crypt-Twofish2 cpan cvs-pod(Twofish2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
859 A Perl module implementing the twofish encryption algorithm in Perl. It has
860 mostly been superceded by the Crypt::Twofish module. However, it supports
861 an easy and fast CBC mode natively.
862
863 Digest-Hashcash cpan cvs-pod(Hashcash.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
864 Perl module to generate and parse <a href="http://www.hashcash.org">hashcashes</a>.

868 EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-pod(../libev/ev.pod,libev-documentation) cvs-pod(EV/MakeMaker.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
869 A thin wrapper around <a href="/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>, a
870 high-performance event loop. Intended as a faster and less buggy
871 replacement for the Event perl module. Efficiently supports very high
872 number of timers, scalable operating system APIs such as epoll, kqueue,
873 solaris's ports, inotify, eventfd, signalfd, child/pid watchers and much
874 more.
875
876 A <a href="http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/libev">mailing
877 list</a> for discussion and support is now available.
878
879 EV-ADNS cpan cvs-pod(ADNS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
880 An asynchronous stub resolver that integrates efficiently into
881 the EV event loop. Uses adns/libadns as backend.
882
883 EV-Loop-Async cpan cvs-pod(Async.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
884 Small module that runs an EV event loop in another thread
885 and uses an Async-Interrupt object to signal new events
886 to perl.
887
888 Net-SNMP-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
889 An adaptor that integrates the Net-SNMP Perl module into the EV event loop.
890 Loading it suffices to make background requests in EV programs.
891
892 libev cvs-co(README) cvs-pod(ev.pod) dist list(libev)
893 A full-featured and high-performance (<a
894 href="http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html">see benchmark</a>)
895 event loop that is loosely modelled after libevent, but without
896 its limitations and bugs. It is used in
897 <a href="/pkg/gvpe.html">GNU Virtual Private Ethernet</a>,
898 <a href="/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html">rxvt-unicode</a>, <a
899 href="http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit/">auditd</a>, the
900 <a href="http://www.deliantra.net">Deliantra MORPG</a> Server and Client,
901 and many other programs.
902
903 Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock
904 (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well
905 as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, fast timer
906 management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use.
907 <p />
908
909 It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API or
910 directly embedded into your programs without the need for complex
911 configuration support. A full-featured and well-documented
912 <a href="EV.html">perl interface</a> is also available.

925 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet network with multiple nodes using a
926 variety of transport protocols. Participating nodes do not need to trust
927 each other.
928
929 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet (broadcasts supported, any protocol that
930 works with a normal ethernet should work with GVPE) by creating encrypted
931 host-to-host tunnels between multiple endpoints.
932 <p />
933 Unlike other virtual private "network" solutions which merely create a
934 single tunnel, GVPE creates a real network with multiple endpoints.
935 <p />
936 It is designed to be very simple and robust (cipher selection done at
937 compiletime etc.), and easy to setup (only a single config file shared
938 unmodified between all hosts).
939 <p />
940 VPN hosts can neither sniff nor fake packets, that is, you can use
941 MAC-based filtering to ensure authenticity of packets even from member
942 nodes.
943 <p />
944 GVPE can also be used to tunnel into some vpn network using a variety of
945 protocols (raw IP, UDP, TCP, HTTPS-proxy-connect, ICMP and DNS). It is,
946 however, primarily designed to sit on the gateway machines of company
947 branches to connect them together.

949 libeio dist cvs-pod(eio.pod,) cvs-co(eio.h) cvs-co(demo.c) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
950 Event-based fully asynchronous I/O library for C (used by IO::AIO).
951 Currently in BETA!
952
953 <p>Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library
954 for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as <a
955 href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>. Features
956 include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync,
957 mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on
958 solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead
959 (emulated where not available).</p>
960
961 <p>It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any
962 event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very
963 portable and relies only on POSIX threads.</p>
964
965 <p>Its code, documentation, integration and portability quality is
966 currently below that of libev, but should soon be ready for use in
967 production environments.</p>
968
969 libspf cvs-co(README)
970 Libspf is a C library that implements the <a
971 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework"> Sender
972 Policy Framework</a>. It allows software to identify and reject forged
973 envelope-from addresses, a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is
974 defined in Experimental RFC 4408.
975
976 This is not the original home of libspf, but its author (apparently)
977 has vanished for a few years now, and this place took over as a central
978 place to collect patches and possibly make releases.
979 <p />
980 James Couzens, if you read this and want to take over, feel free to
981 contact <a href="mailto:libspf@schmorp.de">me</a>, I'd be thrilled :)
982
983 File-Rdiff cpan cvs-pod(Rdiff.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
984 A Perl module that generates remote signatures and patches files using
985 librsync: basically your interface to librsync.
986
987 EV-Glib cpan cvs-pod(Glib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
988 This perl module embeds the default Glib mainloop into the EV event loop. This makes it
989 possible to use callbacks or modules using the Glib module (e.g. Gtk2 programs) within EV programs. Just
990 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/Glib-EV.html">Glib::EV</a> module for the reverse approach.
991
992 Glib-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
993 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the EV module. This makes
994 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the EV module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
995 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/EV-Glib.html">EV::Glib</a> module for the reverse approach.
996
997 Glib-Event cpan cvs-pod(Event.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
998 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the Event module. This makes
999 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the Event module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1000 loading it suffices.
1001
1002 GPS
1003 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-working interface to some GPS
1004 devices in Perl.
1005
1006 Linux-DVB cpan cvs-pod(DVB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1007 A perl module that implements a very direct interface to the Linux DVB
1008 API. Also contains utility functions to decode SI data.
1009
1010 Devel-FindRef cpan cvs-pod(FindRef.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1011 A Perl module that tries to track down references to perl values. Can
1012 be a great aid in debugging leak problems by showing where a value
1013 is still being referenced.
1014
1015 BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1016 A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
1017 Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
1018 C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library
1019 and also executes all database changes asynchronously using a thread pool.
1020
1021 IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1022 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
1023 from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
1024 <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
1025 which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
1026 brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
1027
1028 JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1029 JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
1030 modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
1031 flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
1032 datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
1033 JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
1034 such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
1035 speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
1036 usage and implementation details.
1037
1038 CBOR-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1039 CBOR::XS implements the Concise Binary Object Representation (RFC 7049),
1040 which is a kind of "binary JSON" that also has the ability to cleanly
1041 serialise objects. Unlike other binary formats, CBOR is actually capable
1042 of representing all JSON texts, not just a subset of them.
1043
1044 Types-Serialiser cpan cvs-pod(Serialiser.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1045 This module is an utility module that provides a few simple datatypes,
1046 constants and a serialisation protocol for CBOR::XS. It could be used
1047 for other, similar, serialisation modules (such as JSON::XS), and would
1048 improve interoperability between those modules.
1049
1050 Games-Go-SimpleBoard cpan cvs-pod(SimpleBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1051 A Perl module representing a go board.
1052
1053 This Perl module represents a Go game. It can check for valid moves,
1054 capture stones, stores move history and can represent a variety of
1055 additional annotations (circles, labels, grayed-out stones etc.).
1056
1057 Games-Sokoban cpan cvs-pod(Sokoban.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1058 A perl module to load/transform/save sokoban levels in various formats.
1059
1060 Supports xsb (text), rle, sokevo and a small "binpack" format for input and
1061 output and can normalise levels as well as calculate unique IDs.
1062
1063 Gtk2-GoBoard cpan cvs-pod(GoBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1064 A Perl module implementing a go board widget.
1065
1066 This Perl module implements a beautiful go board (see <a
1067 href="http://data.plan9.de/kgsuemel.jpg">example</a>), implemented as a
1068 Gtk2 widget.
1069
1070 Linux-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1071 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using <tt>clone</tt>
1072 on Linux. Apart from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows
1073 asynchronous <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt> and <tt>close</tt> (and more)
1074 calls, which often are a substantial problem. See also its (newer) brother
1075 <tt>IO-AIO</tt>.
1076
1077 Linux-Inotify2 cpan cvs-pod(Inotify2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1078 A better/less buggy/more portable interface to the Linux Inotify
1079 subsystem then what Linux::Inotify has to offer. Inotify lets you receive
1080 file change, create, move etc. events for directories in files in a more
1081 scalable fashion than dnotify, the older mechanism.
1082
1083 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)
1084 A Perl module that helps implementing netblock block device servers and
1085 set up NBD instances. A sample application allowing you to mount most CD
1086 images is included.
1087
1088 Linux-Clone cpan cvs-pod(Clone.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1089 A Perl interface to the clone(2) and unshare(2) syscalls.
1090
1091 Urlader cpan cvs-pod(Urlader.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1092 A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
1093
1094 Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting
1095 executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not
1096 restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache
1097 unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold
1098 on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.
1099
1100 Mozilla-Plugin
1101 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-somewhat-working Perl plug-in
1102 for Mozilla (Netscape, Opera, IE...), that allows embedding Tk, Gtk etc.

1127 Full-featured interface to Video for Linux, including real-time grabbing
1128 and jpeg compression, VPS etc. decoding and many sample scripts that
1129 facilitate automatica sender search and detection, EPG decoding and
1130 viewing and video grabbing.
1131
1132 XML-DB
1133 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished Perl module implementing an "XML
1134 database", i.e. a tree-based database, on top of a conventional SQL
1135 database.
1136
1137 basex
1138 Very old, very portable ANSI-C program that implements something
1139 that is similar to yencode. yencode is more "standard", so don't use this.
1140
1141 dinfo
1142 Undocumented and working tools to extract the data from the D-Info CD.
1143
1144 syncmail
1145 Unfinished, undocumented and not working.

1147 thttpd
1148 A personally hacked version of thttpd, suitable for lots of file
1149 transfers (normal thttpd has problems with this).
1150
1151 wvsniff
1152 Undocumented but nicely working wavelan sniffer that I wrote for use
1153 with my cisco aironet card. If you get it working, praise yourself.
1154
1155 dhcpping cvs-pod(dhcping.pod,)
1156 A version of dhcpping enhanced by <a href="mailto:marco@nethype.de">Marco Maisenhelder</a>
1157 to support passing dhcp options. Intended to test dhcp server implementations.
1158
1159 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1160 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1161
1162 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1163
1164 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1165 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1166 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1167 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1168 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1169 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1170 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1171
1172 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1173
1174 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1175 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1176 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1177 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1178
1179 <ul><li>
1180 <p>FREE</p>
1181
1182 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1183 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1184 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1185 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1186
1187 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1188 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1189 further, in an open developement style.</p>
1190
1191 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1192 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1193 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1194 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1195 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1196 common, behaviour)</p>
1197
1198 </li><li>
1199 <p>FAST</p>
1200
1201 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1202 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1203 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1204 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1205 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1206 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1207 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1208 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1209
1210 </li><li>
1211 <p>PORTABLE</p>
1212
1213 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1214 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1215 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1216
1217 </li><li>
1218 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1219
1220 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1221 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1222 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1223 only a few hours old!</p>
1224
1225 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1226 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1227 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1228 don't have.</p>
1229
1230 <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1231
1232 </li></ul>
1233
1234 <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1235
1236 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1237 is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1238 features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1239 fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1240 always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1241 clear now ;)</p>
