343 __DATA__
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 vt102 list(perl) cvs-co(vt102)
408 <code>vt102</code> is a vt100/102/131 hardware simulator, implementing
409 practical and 100% compatible DEC VT terminal "emulation".
410
411 Most terminal emulators nowadays strive to emulate a DEC VT102
412 terminal (even those claiming to emulate a VT100 usually mean
413 VT102). Unfortunately, even though there are some VT100 simulators,
414 there haven't been any DEC VT102 ones, so it was very hard to test
415 compatibility with the real device.
416
417 Thanks to this simulator, one can now test how the "real" VT102 behaves,
418 and as free extra, it also simulates DEC VT100 and DEC VT131 terminals.
419
420 ROMs are included - a standard Perl 5.10+ installation, the
421 <code>stty</code> utility and the <code>IO::Pty</code> module are
422 required to run the script, and rxvt-unicode, xterm or a similar terminal
423 emulation is required to have display/keyboard support.
424
425 gtkbfc cvs-pod(README)
426 Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement.
427
428 <b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+
429 file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use
430 readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
431
432 Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work
433 for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
434
435 Async-Interrupt cpan cvs-pod(Interrupt.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
436 Allow C/XS libraries to interrupt perl asynchronously.
437
438 This is a module implementing a rarely-needed, very advanced technique
439 to interrupt a running perl interpreter from another thread, or similar,
440 context, at very low overhead.
441
442 CV cpan cvs-pod(bin/cv,) cvs-co(Changes)
443 Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer.
444
445 It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely
446 modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much
447 faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN.
448
449 kgsueme cpan list(kgsueme) cvs-co(Changes)
450 This perl module is about reverse engineering the
451 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html">protocol</a>
452 (<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>)
453 of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>.
454
455 It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a
456 href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp
457 and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and
458 delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write
459 your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for
460 KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to
461 the game of go, look <a href="http://playgo.to/interactive/">here</a>.
462
463 App-Staticperl cpan cvs-pod(bin/staticperl,) cvs-co(Changes)
464 Perl, libc, 100 modules - all in one self-contained 500kb executable.
465
466 App::Staticperl installs a helper script that allows you to install a
467 statically linked (or linkable) perl distribution, install additional
468 modules, and create new perl interpreters with just the selection of
469 modules you need. It is also possible to just create the C source files
470 needed to embed this custom interpreter into your own programs.<p />
471
472 Two pre-built perl binaries (for Linux on x86 or amd64) which
473 include some highly subjective package selections are available as
474 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/smallperl.html">smallperl</a>
475 and
476 <a href="http://staticperl.schmorp.de/bigperl.html">bigperl</a>.
477
478 Net-Knuddels cvs-pod(Net/Knuddels.pm,)
479 This perl module provides an API for group communications using the
480 <a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated
481 and only provided as reference.
482
483 This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
484 the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
485 provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
486 so one can learn about the protocol.
487 It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers
488 (although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather
489 ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use
490 IRC instead).
491
492 AnyEvent-ReadLine-Gnu cpan cvs-pod(Gnu.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
493 This is a small interface to Term::ReadLine::Gnu for event-based programs.
494
495 This module has event-based readline, as well as asynchronous message printing
496 with readline figured out for you.
497
498 IO-FDPass cpan cvs-pod(FDPass.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
499 Pass a file descriptor over a socket.
500
501 This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor
502 to another process, using a (streaming) unix domain socket (on POSIX
503 systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems).
504
505 Proc-FastSpawn cpan cvs-pod(FastSpawn.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
506 fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
507
508 The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple:
509 spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as
510 possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but
511 hopefully faster than those two syscalls.
512
513 Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec
514 programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX
515 threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call
516 fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external
517 processes.
518
519 AnyEvent-Fork cpan cvs-pod(Fork.pm,) cvs-pod(Fork/Early.pm) cvs-pod(Fork/Template.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
520 Everything you wanted to use fork() for, but couldn't.
521
522 This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
523 them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
524 preserving most of the advantages of fork.
525
526 It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
527 subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for
528 use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such
529 as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well
530 behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes.
531
532 AnyEvent-Fork-Remote cpan cvs-pod(Remote.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
533 Remote processes with AnyEvent::Fork interface
534
535 Despite what the name of this module might suggest, it doesn't actually
536 create remote processes for you. But it does make it easy to use them,
537 once you have started them.
538
539 This module implements a very similar API as AnyEvent::Fork. In fact,
540 similar enough to require at most minor modifications to support both
541 at the same time. For example, it works with AnyEvent::Fork::RPC and
542 AnyEvent::Fork::Pool.
543
544 AnyEvent-Fork-RPC cpan cvs-pod(RPC.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
545 Simple RPC extension for AnyEvent::Fork
546
547 This module implements a simple RPC protocol and backend for processes
548 created via AnyEvent::Fork, allowing you to call a function in the
549 child process and receive its return values (up to 4GB serialised).
550
551 It implements two different backends: a synchronous one that works like a
552 normal function call, and an asynchronous one that can run multiple jobs
553 concurrently in the child, using AnyEvent.
554
555 It also implements an asynchronous event mechanism from the child to the
556 parent, that could be used for progress indications or other information.
557
558 AnyEvent-Fork-Pool cpan cvs-pod(Pool.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
559 Simple process pool manager on top of AnyEvent::Fork and AnyEvent::Fork::RPC.
560
561 This module uses processes created via AnyEvent::Fork and the RPC
562 protocol implement in AnyEvent::Fork::RPC to create a load-balanced pool
563 of processes that handles jobs.
564
565 Understanding of AnyEvent::Fork is helpful but not critical to be able
566 to use this module, but a thorough understanding of AnyEvent::Fork::RPC
567 is, as it defines the actual API that needs to be implemented in the
568 children.
569
570 Guard cpan cvs-pod(Guard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
571 This small module implements scope and object guards, that is, code blocks
572 that are executed when a scope is being exited (or an object is destroyed).
573
574 Much effort was invested into these guards behaving "sensibly" in the
575 presence of thrown exceptions, errors and other adverse conditions, as
576 well as into good performance.
577
578 OpenCL cpan cvs-pod(OpenCL.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
579 An interface to OpenCL (the Open Computing Language) for Perl.
580
581 Perlized (not C-ish) OpenCL interface.
582
583 common-sense cpan cvs-pod(sense.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
584 This module implements some sane defaults for Perl programs, as defined
585 by two typical (or not so typical - use your common sense) specimens of
586 Perl coders.
587
588 Net-IRC-Server cvs-pod(Net/IRC/Server.pm,)
589 This module provides a simple API for handling the IRC Protocol
590 aiming at implementing lightweight IRC-Servers.
591
592 PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
593 Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
594
595 This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
596 complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
597 of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
598
599 Example:
600
601 <pre>
602 my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
603 "select id, name from db where name like %",
604 "pfx%";
605 while ($st->fetch) {
606 print "$id $name\n";
607 }
608 </pre>
609
610 libcoro cvs-co(README) cvs-co(coro.h)
611 This C-library implements coroutines (cooperative multitasking) in a
612 portable fashion.
613
614 As long as your system implements the <tt>ucontext</tt> (Unix) or the
615 older <tt>sigaltstack</tt> interfaces it should work out of the box,
616 with minimal configuration (it consists of only a single <tt>.h</tt> and
617 a single <tt>.c</tt> file). For the broken systems, it also supports
618 a slow pthreads-based system and (optional) assembly backends for
619 higher speed on some systems. It is known to run on a wide variety of
620 unix systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)
621 and also on Windows, does not require any assembly language and is
622 architecture-independent.

675 Faster cpan cvs-pod(Faster.pm,)
676 A perl module that makes perl run, well, faster, using a very primitive just in time compiler.
677
678 As the name implies, using this module makes your perl program run
679 faster. Actually, much slower initially, as it compiles every function
680 to C and later to a shared object, but then you can expect a performance
681 increase by 10-50%, depending on what your program does.
682
683 liblzf cvs-co(README) cvs-co(lzf.h) dist
684 LibLZF is a very small data compression library.

706 Algorithm-FEC cpan cvs-pod(FEC.pm,) cvs-co(README.fec) cvs-co(Changes)
707 Perl module implementing forward error correction using Vandermonde matrices
708
709 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)
710 This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process
711 and completion events, independent of a specific event loop.
712
713 <p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally
714 without forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without
715 adding noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event,
716 Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib, Irssi, IO::Async and POE (and thus also
717 WxWidgets and Prima). It also comes with a very fast (see benchmarks in
718 the main manual page) Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which
719 ensures that your program will always run even when no C-based event loop
720 is available.</p>
721
722 <p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent
723 comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver
724 library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to
725 "just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object
726 (and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p>
727
728 <p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP
729 connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4
730 and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6
731 completely transparent.</p>
732
733 <p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and
734 buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers
735 to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and
736 fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p>
737
738 AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
739 This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible
740 ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
741
742 This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined
743 rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block
744 the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of
745 pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or
746 more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a
747 least-load principle.
748
749 A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included.
750
751 AnyEvent-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
752 A perl module providing transparent integration of IO::AIO into AnyEvent.
753
754 AnyEvent-BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
755 A perl module providing transparent integration of BDB into AnyEvent.
756
757 AnyEvent-DBus cpan cvs-pod(DBus.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
758 A perl module providing mostly transparent integration of Net::DBus into AnyEvent.
759
760 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
761 A perl module providing an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent.
762
763 This module provides an asynchronous DBI interface for AnyEvent by
764 starting one or more proxy processes that handle trhe actual sql
765 commands.
766
767 AnyEvent-FCP cpan cvs-pod(FCP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
768 A perl module implementing a Freenet Client Protocol 2.0 client.
769
770 AnyEvent-GPSD cpan cvs-pod(GPSD.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
771 A perl module implementing an AnyEvent client for the (pre-xml) GPSD protocol.
772
773 AnyEvent-Porttracker cpan cvs-pod(Porttracker.pm,) cvs-pod(Porttracker/protocol.pod,api-protocol) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
774 A perl module implementing a client for the Porttracker/PortIQ API protocol.
775
776 AnyEvent-SNMP cpan cvs-pod(SNMP.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
777 A perl module that transparently integrates Net::SNMP into AnyEvent.
778
779 In addition to making Net::SNMP AnyEvent-aware, this module also
780 implements advanced rate-limiting that enables you to query many devices
781 in parallel without running into timeouts due to high CPU usage.
782
783 AnyEvent-Watchdog cpan cvs-pod(Watchdog.pm,) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
784 A perl module implementing a watchdog for Perl processes.
785
786 This module forks your Perl process early during it's startup. It can
787 automatically restart the program on crashes, provide clean restarts
788 requested by the watched program and a number of other small feats.
789
790 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
791 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
792
793 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
794 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
795 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
796 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
797 the RFC.
798
799 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
800 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
801 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
802
803 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
804 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
805 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
806 limited support.
807
808 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)
809 This Perl module (-family) implements a simple message passing framework for Perl.
810
811 Despite its simplicity, you can securely message other processes running
812 on the same or other hosts.
813
814 For an introduction to this module family, see the Intro manual page.
815
816 Coro-MP cpan cvs-pod(MP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
817 This Perl module extends the AnyEvent::MP API with a thread-like/erlang-style API.
818
819 This module implements a thread-like API to AnyEvent::MP that is closer
820 to Erlang than the event-based AnyEvent::MP API. It integrates well into
821 AnyEvent::MP.
822
823 See the AnyEvent::MP module and tutorial for info about the concepts used
824 in AnyEvent::MP.
825
826 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
827 A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous
828 SQL requests.
829
830 This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing
831 separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests.
832
833 It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks.
834
835 Array-Heap cpan cvs-pod(Heap.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
836 A Perl module that implements C++ STL-like binary heap operations.

844
845 Compress-LZF cpan cvs-pod(LZF.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
846 A Perl module implementing the LZF compression algorithm, and simple
847 to use data structure serialising.
848
849 Convert-CD cvs-pod(lib/Convert/CD.pm,) cvs-pod(bin/cvtiso,cvtiso) cvs-co(doc/) cvs-co(Changes)
850 Unfinished Perl project implementing CD image formats. Extracting ISO images
851 already works.
852
853 Convert-Scalar cpan cvs-pod(Scalar.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
854 Perl module to convert between different representations of Perl scalars.
855
856 Convert-UUlib cpan cvs-pod(UUlib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
857 Perl interface to the uulib library (a.k.a. uudeview/uuenview), which
858 allows easy decoding of multipart mime, uuencode and a whole lot of
859 differently encoded messages. You basically throw files at it, and
860 it extracts the files in them. This module is used by the popular <a

864 A large Perl module family that implements cooperative multitasking in
865 Perl. It supports filehandle and event abstraction and also implements
866 continuations as well as the necessary directives to implement a slightly
867 limited call/cc in Perl.
868
869 Coro-Mysql cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Mysql.pm,)
870 Lets other threads run while doing mysql requests via DBD::mysql.
871
872 This perl module patches libmysqlclient/DBD::mysql at runtime to allow
873 multiple Coro-based threads to make database accesses concurrently,
874 instead of blocking the whole process.
875
876 Crypt-Ed25519 cpan cvs-pod(Ed25519.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
877 A Perl module implementing Ed25519 public key signing and verification.
878
879 Crypt-Spritz cpan cvs-pod(Spritz.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
880 A Perl module implementing the Spritz family of cryptographic algorithms,
881 giving you a stream cipher, a hash, a mac, authenticated encryption
882 with associated data (AEAD) and a cryptographically secure random
883 number generator, at reasonable speed and with very small code size, making
884 Spritz an attractive algorithm for resource-constrained environments
885 such as javascript in your browser, or microcontrollers.
886
887 Crypt-Twofish2 cpan cvs-pod(Twofish2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
888 A Perl module implementing the twofish encryption algorithm in Perl. It has
889 mostly been superceded by the Crypt::Twofish module. However, it supports
890 an easy and fast CBC mode natively.
891
892 Digest-Hashcash cpan cvs-pod(Hashcash.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
893 Perl module to generate and parse <a href="http://www.hashcash.org">hashcashes</a>.

897 EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-pod(../libev/ev.pod,libev-documentation) cvs-pod(EV/MakeMaker.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
898 A thin wrapper around <a href="/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>, a
899 high-performance event loop. Intended as a faster and less buggy
900 replacement for the Event perl module. Efficiently supports very high
901 number of timers, scalable operating system APIs such as epoll, kqueue,
902 solaris's ports, inotify, eventfd, signalfd, child/pid watchers and much
903 more.
904
905 A <a href="http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/libev">mailing

907
908 EV-ADNS cpan cvs-pod(ADNS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
909 An asynchronous stub resolver that integrates efficiently into
910 the EV event loop. Uses adns/libadns as backend.
911
912 EV-Loop-Async cpan cvs-pod(Async.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
913 Small module that runs an EV event loop in another thread
914 and uses an Async-Interrupt object to signal new events
915 to perl.
916
917 Net-SNMP-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
918 An adaptor that integrates the Net-SNMP Perl module into the EV event loop.
919 Loading it suffices to make background requests in EV programs.
920
921 libev cvs-co(README) cvs-pod(ev.pod) dist list(libev)
922 A full-featured and high-performance (<a
923 href="http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html">see benchmark</a>)
924 event loop that is loosely modelled after libevent, but without
925 its limitations and bugs. It is used in
926 <a href="/pkg/gvpe.html">GNU Virtual Private Ethernet</a>,
927 <a href="/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html">rxvt-unicode</a>, <a
928 href="http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit/">auditd</a>, the
929 <a href="http://www.deliantra.net">Deliantra MORPG</a> Server and Client,
930 and many other programs.
931
932 Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock
933 (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well
934 as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, fast timer
935 management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use.
936 <p />
937
938 It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API or
939 directly embedded into your programs without the need for complex
940 configuration support. A full-featured and well-documented
941 <a href="EV.html">perl interface</a> is also available.

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

978 libeio dist cvs-pod(eio.pod,) cvs-co(eio.h) cvs-co(demo.c) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
979 Event-based fully asynchronous I/O library for C (used by IO::AIO).
980 Currently in BETA!
981
982 <p>Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library
983 for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as <a
984 href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>. Features
985 include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync,
986 mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on
987 solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead
988 (emulated where not available).</p>
989
990 <p>It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any
991 event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very
992 portable and relies only on POSIX threads.</p>
993
994 <p>Its code, documentation, integration and portability quality is
995 currently below that of libev, but should soon be ready for use in
996 production environments.</p>

998 libspf cvs-co(README)
999 Libspf is a C library that implements the <a
1000 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework"> Sender
1001 Policy Framework</a>. It allows software to identify and reject forged
1002 envelope-from addresses, a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is
1003 defined in Experimental RFC 4408.
1004
1005 This is not the original home of libspf, but its author (apparently)
1006 has vanished for a few years now, and this place took over as a central
1007 place to collect patches and possibly make releases.
1008 <p />
1009 James Couzens, if you read this and want to take over, feel free to
1010 contact <a href="mailto:libspf@schmorp.de">me</a>, I'd be thrilled :)
1011
1012 File-Rdiff cpan cvs-pod(Rdiff.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1013 A Perl module that generates remote signatures and patches files using
1014 librsync: basically your interface to librsync.
1015
1016 EV-Glib cpan cvs-pod(Glib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1017 This perl module embeds the default Glib mainloop into the EV event loop. This makes it
1018 possible to use callbacks or modules using the Glib module (e.g. Gtk2 programs) within EV programs. Just
1019 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/Glib-EV.html">Glib::EV</a> module for the reverse approach.
1020
1021 Glib-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1022 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the EV module. This makes
1023 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the EV module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1024 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/EV-Glib.html">EV::Glib</a> module for the reverse approach.
1025
1026 Glib-Event cpan cvs-pod(Event.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
1027 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the Event module. This makes
1028 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the Event module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
1029 loading it suffices.

1031 GPS
1032 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-working interface to some GPS
1033 devices in Perl.
1034
1035 Linux-DVB cpan cvs-pod(DVB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1036 A perl module that implements a very direct interface to the Linux DVB
1037 API. Also contains utility functions to decode SI data.
1038
1039 Devel-FindRef cpan cvs-pod(FindRef.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1040 A Perl module that tries to track down references to perl values. Can
1041 be a great aid in debugging leak problems by showing where a value
1042 is still being referenced.
1043
1044 BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1045 A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
1046 Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
1047 C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library
1048 and also executes all database changes asynchronously using a thread pool.
1049
1050 IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1051 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
1052 from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
1053 <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
1054 which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
1055 brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
1056
1057 JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1058 JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
1059 modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
1060 flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
1061 datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
1062 JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
1063 such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
1064 speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
1065 usage and implementation details.
1066
1067 CBOR-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1068 CBOR::XS implements the Concise Binary Object Representation (RFC 7049),
1069 which is a kind of "binary JSON" that also has the ability to cleanly
1070 serialise objects. Unlike other binary formats, CBOR is actually capable
1071 of representing all JSON texts, not just a subset of them.
1072
1073 Types-Serialiser cpan cvs-pod(Serialiser.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1074 This module is an utility module that provides a few simple datatypes,
1075 constants and a serialisation protocol for CBOR::XS. It could be used
1076 for other, similar, serialisation modules (such as JSON::XS), and would
1077 improve interoperability between those modules.
1078
1079 Games-Go-SimpleBoard cpan cvs-pod(SimpleBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1080 A Perl module representing a go board.
1081
1082 This Perl module represents a Go game. It can check for valid moves,
1083 capture stones, stores move history and can represent a variety of
1084 additional annotations (circles, labels, grayed-out stones etc.).
1085
1086 Games-Sokoban cpan cvs-pod(Sokoban.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1087 A perl module to load/transform/save sokoban levels in various formats.
1088
1089 Supports xsb (text), rle, sokevo and a small "binpack" format for input and
1090 output and can normalise levels as well as calculate unique IDs.
1091
1092 Gtk2-GoBoard cpan cvs-pod(GoBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1093 A Perl module implementing a go board widget.
1094
1095 This Perl module implements a beautiful go board (see <a
1096 href="http://data.plan9.de/kgsuemel.jpg">example</a>), implemented as a
1097 Gtk2 widget.
1098
1099 Linux-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1100 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using <tt>clone</tt>
1101 on Linux. Apart from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows
1102 asynchronous <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt> and <tt>close</tt> (and more)
1103 calls, which often are a substantial problem. See also its (newer) brother
1104 <tt>IO-AIO</tt>.
1105
1106 Linux-Inotify2 cpan cvs-pod(Inotify2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1107 A better/less buggy/more portable interface to the Linux Inotify
1108 subsystem then what Linux::Inotify has to offer. Inotify lets you receive
1109 file change, create, move etc. events for directories in files in a more
1110 scalable fashion than dnotify, the older mechanism.
1111
1112 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)
1113 A Perl module that helps implementing netblock block device servers and
1114 set up NBD instances. A sample application allowing you to mount most CD
1115 images is included.
1116
1117 Linux-Clone cpan cvs-pod(Clone.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1118 A Perl interface to the clone(2) and unshare(2) syscalls.
1119
1120 Urlader cpan cvs-pod(Urlader.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1121 A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
1122
1123 Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting
1124 executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not
1125 restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache
1126 unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold
1127 on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.
1128
1129 Mozilla-Plugin
1130 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-somewhat-working Perl plug-in
1131 for Mozilla (Netscape, Opera, IE...), that allows embedding Tk, Gtk etc.

1158 facilitate automatica sender search and detection, EPG decoding and
1159 viewing and video grabbing.
1160
1161 XML-DB
1162 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished Perl module implementing an "XML
1163 database", i.e. a tree-based database, on top of a conventional SQL
1164 database.
1165
1166 basex
1167 Very old, very portable ANSI-C program that implements something
1168 that is similar to yencode. yencode is more "standard", so don't use this.
1169
1170 dinfo
1171 Undocumented and working tools to extract the data from the D-Info CD.
1172
1173 syncmail
1174 Unfinished, undocumented and not working.

1178 transfers (normal thttpd has problems with this).
1179
1180 wvsniff
1181 Undocumented but nicely working wavelan sniffer that I wrote for use
1182 with my cisco aironet card. If you get it working, praise yourself.
1183
1184 dhcpping cvs-pod(dhcping.pod,)
1185 A version of dhcpping enhanced by <a href="mailto:marco@nethype.de">Marco Maisenhelder</a>
1186 to support passing dhcp options. Intended to test dhcp server implementations.
1187
1188 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1189 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1190
1191 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1192
1193 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1194 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1195 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1196 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1197 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1198 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1199 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1200
1201 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1202
1203 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1204 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1205 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1206 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1207
1208 <ul><li>
1209 <p>FREE</p>
1210
1211 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1212 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1213 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1214 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1215
1216 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1217 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1218 further, in an open developement style.</p>
1219
1220 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1221 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1222 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1223 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1224 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1225 common, behaviour)</p>
1226
1227 </li><li>
1228 <p>FAST</p>
1229
1230 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1231 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1232 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1233 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1234 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1235 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1236 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1237 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1238
1239 </li><li>
1240 <p>PORTABLE</p>
1241
1242 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1243 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1244 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1245
1246 </li><li>
1247 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1248
1249 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1250 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1251 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1252 only a few hours old!</p>
1253
1254 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1255 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1256 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1257 don't have.</p>
1258
1259 <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1260
1261 </li></ul>
1262
1263 <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1264
1265 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1266 is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1267 features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1268 fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1269 always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1270 clear now ;)</p>
