The net-ping library provides a ping interface for Ruby. It includes separate
TCP, HTTP, LDAP, ICMP, UDP, WMI (for Windows) and external ping classes.
Net::Server is an extensible, generic Perl server engine. Net::Server combines
the good properties from Net::Daemon (0.34), NetServer::Generic (1.03), and
Net::FTPServer (1.0), and also from various concepts in the Apache Webserver.
Net::Server attempts to be a generic server as in Net::Daemon and
NetServer::Generic. It includes with it the ability to run as an inetd process
(Net::Server::INET), a single connection server (Net::Server or
Net::Server::Single), a forking server (Net::Server::Fork), or as a preforking
server (Net::Server::PreFork). In all but the inetd type, the server provides
the ability to connect to one or to multiple server ports.
Net_Sieve is a PEAR class which handles talking to timsieved.
Provides an API to talk to the timsieved server that comes with Cyrus
IMAPd. Can be used to install, remove, mark active, etc. SIEVE scripts.
Growl is a MACOSX application that listen to notifications sent by
applications and displays them on the desktop using different display
styles. Net_Growl offers the possibility to send notifications to Growl
from your PHP application through network communication using UDP.
The PEAR::Net_Ident implements Identification Protocol according
to RFC 1413.
The Identification Protocol (a.k.a., "ident", a.k.a., "the Ident
Protocol") provides a means to determine the identity of a user
of a particular TCP connection. Given a TCP port number pair, it
returns a character string which identifies the owner of that
connection on the server's system.
This package validates and cleanly formats Media Access Control (MAC)
addresses. The Net_MAC class can also import a list of MAC address
vendors and store them in a database which the class can then use to
identify vendors of any MAC address.
The modules included here provide an interface to the RADIUS
protocol. It consists of the following modules:
Net::Radius::Packet - Deals with RADIUS packets
Net::Radius::Dictionary - Deals with RADIUS dictionaries
This module is essentially the original RADIUS-1.0 distribution by
Christopher Masto plus a number of changes and fixes by Luis Munoz and
Ian Smith.
twitter.com provides a web 2.0 type of ubiquitous presence.
This module allows you to set your status, as well as the statuses of
your friends.
You can view the latest status of Net::Twitter on it's own twitter
timeline at http://twitter.com/net_twitter
Net::SMTP::SSL implements the same API as Net::SMTP, but uses IO::Socket::SSL
for its network operations. Due to the nature of Net::SMTP's new method, it is
not overridden to make use of a default port for the SMTPS service. Perhaps
future versions will be smart like that. Port 465 is usually what you want, and
it's not a pain to specify that.
Net::NBName is a class that allows you to perform simple NetBIOS Name
Service Requests in your Perl code. It performs these NetBIOS operations over
TCP/IP using Perl's built-in socket support.
