This is a snapshot release of the NIS interface to Perl 5. There are
three parts to the interface: the raw component (Net::NIS), the
object-oriented component (Net::NIS::Table), and the tied interface
(Net::NIS).
Unless someone provides strong reason to support the raw or OO
components, they will be marked as deprecated and not documented or
enhanced (but still supported for backward compatibility).
Various modules for use Sockets with a TIESCALAR interface
for really simple socket communications.
Net::Gen - generic sockets interface handling
Net::Inet - Internet socket interface module
Net::TCP - TCP sockets interface module
Net::TCP::Server - TCP sockets interface module for listeners and servers
Net::UDP - UDP sockets interface module
Net::UNIX - UNIX-domain sockets interface module
Net::UNIX::Server - UNIX-domain sockets interface module for listeners
This module provides a perl interface to the Twitter APIs. It uses the
same API definitions as Net::Twitter, but without the extra bells and
whistles and without the additional dependencies. Same great taste,
less filling.
This module is related to, but is not part of the "Net::Twitter"
distribution. It's API methods and API method documentation are
generated from "Net::Twitter"'s internals. It exists for those who
cannot, or prefer not to install Moose and its dependencies.
Yadis is a service discovery system allowing relying parties
(aka identity consumers or membersites) to determine automatically,
without end-user intervention, the most appropriate protocol to use.
Examples of such services are:
* Single sign-on across web sites
* Profile exchange and form filling
* Blog anti-spam
Yadis provides the first step for any service that uses identifiers for
authentication, accountability, privacy controlled data exchange and more.
POE::Component::Client::Whois provides a lightweight one shot non-blocking
RFC 812 WHOIS query to other POE sessions and components. The component will
attempt to guess the appropriate whois server to connect to based on the
query string passed.
If no guess can be made it will connect to whois.internic.net for domains,
whois.arin.net for IPv4 addresses and whois.6bone.net for IPv6 addresses.
POEx::Role::TCPServer bundles up the lower level
SocketFactory/ReadWrite combination of wheels into a simple
Moose::Role. It builds upon other POEx modules such as
POEx::Role::SessionInstantiation and POEx::Types.
The events for SocketFactory for and for each ReadWrite instantiated
are methods that can be advised in any way deemed fit. Advising these
methods is actually encouraged and can simplify code for the consumer.
The only method that must be provided by the consuming class is
handle_inbound_data.
URI::Query provides simple URI query string manipulation, allowing you to create
and manipulate URI query strings from GET and POST requests in web applications.
This is primarily useful for creating links where you wish to preserve some
subset of the parameters to the current request, and potentially add or replace
others. Given a query string this is doable with regexes, of course, but making
sure you get the anchoring and escaping right is tedious and error-prone - this
module is simpler.
Panoptis is a project started some time ago,
with the aim to stop the Denial of Service
and Distributed Denial of Service attacks that
have been torturing the Internet for the last
few years.
It is based on real-time processing of Cisco (R)
NetFlow (TM) data, since this seems to be the
most efficient approach as it is router-centric,
allowing for automated central response without
intervention from the affected organizations'
network administrators.
The Net_UserAgent object does a number of tests on an HTTP user
agent string. The results of these tests are available via methods of
the object.
This module is based upon the JavaScript browser detection code available
at http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/sniffer/browser_type.html.
This module had many influences from the lib/Browser.php code in
version 1.3 of Horde.
This code was originally forked from Leah Culver and Andy Smith's
oauth.py code (see net/py-oauth).
A number of notable differences exist between this code and its
forefathers:
* 100% unit test coverage.
* The DataStore object has been completely ripped out.
* Classes are no longer prefixed with OAuth.
* The Request class now extends from dict.
* The library is likely no longer compatible with Python 2.3.
* The Client class works and extends from httplib2.
