240 root 1.121 stableperl list(perl) modules()
241 root 1.120 Stableperl is a fork, or a branch, of the official perl with the goal
242     of providing stability and compatibility. See <a
243     href="http://stableperl.schmorp.de/">stableperl.schmorp.de</a> for
244     details.

255 root 1.73 rxvt-unicode is a fork of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
256 elmex 1.1
257     <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
258     <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
259     <em>first</em>.</p>
260    
261     Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
262    
263     <ul>
264     <li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li>
265     <li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale,
266     rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li>
267     <li>Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which
268     improves memory usage and startup time considerably.</li>
269     <li>Embedded perl, for endless customization and improvement opportunities, such as:
270     <ul>
271     <li>Tabbed terminal support.</li>
272     <li>Regex-driven customisable selection that can properly select shell arguments, urls etc.</li>
273     <li>Selection-transformation and option popup menus.</li>
274     <li>Automatically transforming the selection once made.</li>
275     <li>Incremental scrollback buffer search.</li>
276     <li>Automatic URL-underlining and launching.</li>
277     <li>Remote pastebin, digital clock, block graphics to ascii filter and
278     whatever you like to implement for yourself.</li>
279     </ul>
280     </li>
281     <li>Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than
282 root 1.73 rxvt and its many forks, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.</li>
283 elmex 1.1 <li>Completely flicker-free.</li>
284     <li>Re-wraps long lines instead of splitting or cutting them on resizes.</li>
285     <li>Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).</li>
286     <li>Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between
287     nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).</li>
288     <li>Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.</li>
289     <li>Can easily be embedded into other applications.</li>
290     <li>All documentation accessible through manpages.</li>
291     <li>Locale-independent XIM support.</li>
292     <li>Many small improvements, such as improved and corrected terminfo, improved secondary screen modes,
293     italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.</li>
294     <li>Encapsulation of privileged operations in a separate process (improves security).</li>
295     <li>Optimised for local <i>and</i> remote connections.</li>
296     </ul>
297    
298     <br />
299     And its main <em>missing</em> features (which users request but are not (yet?) implemented) are:
300    
301     <ul>
302     <li>Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
303 root 1.115 <li>Right-to-Left rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
304 elmex 1.1 <li>IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)</li>
305     </ul>
306

309 root 1.47 libptytty dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/libptytty.3.pod) cvs-co(Changes)
310 elmex 1.1 libptytty is an offspring of rxvt-unicode that handles pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling
311     in mostly OS-independent ways, so it's less of a hassle for you :)
312    
313 root 1.115 vt102 list(perl) cvs-co(vt102)
314 root 1.116 <code>vt102</code> is a vt100/102/131 hardware simulator, implementing
315 root 1.115 practical and 100% compatible DEC VT terminal "emulation".
316    
317     Most terminal emulators nowadays strive to emulate a DEC VT102
318     terminal (even those claiming to emulate a VT100 usually mean
319     VT102). Unfortunately, even though there are some VT100 simulators,
320     there haven't been any DEC VT102 ones, so it was very hard to test
321     compatibility with the real device.
322    
323     Thanks to this simulator, one can now test how the "real" VT102 behaves,
324     and as free extra, it also simulates DEC VT100 and DEC VT131 terminals.
325    
326 root 1.117 ROMs are included - a standard Perl 5.10+ installation, the
327     <code>stty</code> utility and the <code>IO::Pty</code> module are
328     required to run the script, and rxvt-unicode, xterm or a similar terminal
329     emulation is required to have display/keyboard support.
330 root 1.115
331 root 1.36 gtkbfc cvs-pod(README)
332 elmex 1.1 Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement.
333    
334     <b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+
335     file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use
336     readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
337    
338     Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work
339     for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
340    
341 root 1.69 Async-Interrupt cpan cvs-pod(Interrupt.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)

349     Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer.
350    
351     It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely
352     modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much
353     faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN.

358     (<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>)
359     of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>.
360    
361     It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a
362     href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp
363     and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and
364     delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write
365     your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for
366     KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to

385 elmex 1.1 This perl module provides an API for group communications using the
386     <a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated
387     and only provided as reference.
388    
389     This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
390     the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
391     provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
392     so one can learn about the protocol.
393     It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers
394     (although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather
395     ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use

406    
407     This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor
408     to another process, using a (streaming) unix domain socket (on POSIX
409     systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems).
410    
411 root 1.101 Proc-FastSpawn cpan cvs-pod(FastSpawn.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
412     fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
413    
414     The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple:
415     spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as
416     possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but
417     hopefully faster than those two syscalls.
418    
419     Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec
420     programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX
421     threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call
422     fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external
423     processes.

427    
428     This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
429     them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
430     preserving most of the advantages of fork.
431    
432     It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
433     subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for
434     use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such
435     as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well
436     behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes.

440 root 1.105
441     Despite what the name of this module might suggest, it doesn't actually
442     create remote processes for you. But it does make it easy to use them,
443     once you have started them.
444    
445     This module implements a very similar API as AnyEvent::Fork. In fact,
446     similar enough to require at most minor modifications to support both
447     at the same time. For example, it works with AnyEvent::Fork::RPC and
448     AnyEvent::Fork::Pool.
449    
450 root 1.104 AnyEvent-Fork-RPC cpan cvs-pod(RPC.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
451     Simple RPC extension for AnyEvent::Fork
452    
453     This module implements a simple RPC protocol and backend for processes
454 root 1.105 created via AnyEvent::Fork, allowing you to call a function in the
455 root 1.104 child process and receive its return values (up to 4GB serialised).
456    
457     It implements two different backends: a synchronous one that works like a
458     normal function call, and an asynchronous one that can run multiple jobs
459     concurrently in the child, using AnyEvent.
460    
461     It also implements an asynchronous event mechanism from the child to the
462     parent, that could be used for progress indications or other information.
463    
464     AnyEvent-Fork-Pool cpan cvs-pod(Pool.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
465     Simple process pool manager on top of AnyEvent::Fork and AnyEvent::Fork::RPC.
466    
467     This module uses processes created via AnyEvent::Fork and the RPC
468     protocol implement in AnyEvent::Fork::RPC to create a load-balanced pool
469     of processes that handles jobs.
470    
471     Understanding of AnyEvent::Fork is helpful but not critical to be able
472     to use this module, but a thorough understanding of AnyEvent::Fork::RPC
473     is, as it defines the actual API that needs to be implemented in the
474     children.

479    
480     Much effort was invested into these guards behaving "sensibly" in the
481     presence of thrown exceptions, errors and other adverse conditions, as

498     PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
499     Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
500    
501     This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
502     complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
503     of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
504    
505     Example:
506    
507     <pre>
508     my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
509     "select id, name from db where name like %",
510     "pfx%";

524     a slow pthreads-based system and (optional) assembly backends for

526     unix systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD)
527     and also on Windows, does not require any assembly language and is

711 root 1.69 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
712 root 1.31 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
713    
714     This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
715     client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
716     all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
717     automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
718     the RFC.
719    
720     It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
721     tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
722     possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
723    
724     The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
725     the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
726     and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
727     limited support.

739     An asynchronous Perl implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP),
740     including useful ready-made servers and an API for writing your own.
741    
742     AnyEvent::MCP provides MCP clients and servers over HTTP and stdio, and a
743     simple framework for implementing MCP tools in Perl. The multibroker
744     combines local and remote MCP servers behind a single connection, including
745     servers written in other languages.
746    
747     Bundled servers provide filesystem access (with optional sandboxing),
748     live Vim buffer editing, access to explicitly approved browser tabs and
749     interactive questions to the human user. Permission checking and sandbox
750     grants help control operations with side effects.
751

1073 elmex 1.1 Linux-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1074     A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using <tt>clone</tt>
1075     on Linux. Apart from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows
1076     asynchronous <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt> and <tt>close</tt> (and more)
1077     calls, which often are a substantial problem. See also its (newer) brother
1078     <tt>IO-AIO</tt>.
1079    
1080     Linux-Inotify2 cpan cvs-pod(Inotify2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
1081     A better/less buggy/more portable interface to the Linux Inotify
1082     subsystem then what Linux::Inotify has to offer. Inotify lets you receive
1083     file change, create, move etc. events for directories in files in a more
1084     scalable fashion than dnotify, the older mechanism.
1085    
1086     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)

1094 root 1.92 Urlader cpan cvs-pod(Urlader.pm) cvs-co(Changes)
1095     A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
1096    
1097     Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting
1098     executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not
1099     restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache
1100     unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold
1101     on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.
1102    
1103 elmex 1.1 Mozilla-Plugin
1104     Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-somewhat-working Perl plug-in

1145 root 1.134 This is "a small hack grown properly out of proportion" that implements
1146 root 1.132 a portable version of the Microsoft Windows BCDEDIT program. It is pretty
1147     unique in that it does run on non-windows platforms, can create BCD hives
1148     from scratch and parses and edits BCD device elements. it is also
1149 root 1.134 self-contained and only needs a perl 5.16 (or above) installation.
1150 root 1.132
1151     <p>It doesn't implement the same syntax as BCDEDIT, but in turn
1152     can do a lot more complex modifications. Check out its <a

1160 root 1.136 Geo-LatLon2Place cvs-pod(LatLon2Place.pm) cvs-pod(bin/geo-latlon2place-makedb)
1161     This is a single-purpose module that tries to do one job: find the nearest
1162     placename for a point on earth. It doesn't claim to do a perfect job, but
1163     it tries to be simple to set up, simple to use and be fast. It doesn't
1164     attempt to provide many features or nifty algorithms, and is meant to be
1165     used in situations where you simply need a name for a coordinate without
1166     becoming a GIS expert first.
1167    
1168     <pre>
1169     my $lookup = Geo::LatLon2Place->new ("allCountries.ll2p");
1170    
1171     # and then do as many queries as you wish:
1172     my $res = $lookup->(49, 8.4);

1196 root 1.32 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1197     <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1198    
1199     <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1200    
1201     Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1202     fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1203     I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1204     them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1205     none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1206     they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1207     brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1208    
1209     <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1210    
1211     [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1212     people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1213     provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1214     Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1215    
1216     <ul><li>
1217     <p>FREE</p>
1218    
1219     <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1220     the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1221     needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1222     and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1223    
1224     <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1225     zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1226     further, in an open developement style.</p>
1227    
1228     <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1229     executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1230     difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1231     want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1232     knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1233     common, behaviour)</p>
1234    
1235     </li><li>
1236     <p>FAST</p>
1237    
1238     <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1239     slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1240     fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1241     faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1242     is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1243     that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1244     well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1245     almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1246    
1247     </li><li>
1248     <p>PORTABLE</p>
1249    
1250     <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1251     even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1252     about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1253    
1254     </li><li>
1255     <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1256    
1257     <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1258     useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1259     multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1260     only a few hours old!</p>
1261    
1262     <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1263     brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1264     know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1265     don't have.</p>
1266    
1267     <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1268    
1269     </li></ul>
1270    
1271     <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1272    
1273     <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1274     is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1275     features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1276     fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1277     always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1278     clear now ;)</p>
