Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. This port contains a standalone runtime environment of Erlang R15 to be used during the development of OTP applications.

Mail::Procmailrc is a pure Perl module that can read and write procmail(1) compatible rc files. The intent behind its creation was to provide an abstracted interface for web clients wishing to edit procmailrc files, but it could be used in any number of useful ways (e.g., a procmail rc pretty printer--how useful is that!?). Mail::Procmailrc does not process mail in any form; it only reads and writes procmail(1) rc files.

Class to handle mail queue managment. Wrapper for PEAR::Mail and PEAR::DB (or PEAR::MDB/MDB2). It can load, save and send saved mails in background and also backup some mails. The Mail_Queue class puts mails in a temporary container, waiting to be fed to the MTA (Mail Transport Agent), and sends them later (e.g. a certain amount of mails every few minutes) by crontab or in other way.

This program is a filter which shall improve the readability for messages (emails and posts) by *hiding* some annoying parts, including: - mailing list footers - excessive quoting - overlong signatures - Outlook-style "TOFU" (text above - full quote below) - squeeze sequences of blank lines or punctuation Its primary mode of operation is a display filter in MUA (it has special support for Mutt), but it can also be used in MTA/MDA - e.g. for immediately bouncing "improper" messages.

The octave-forge package is the result of The GNU Octave Repositry project, which is intended to be a central location for custom scripts, functions and extensions for GNU Octave. contains the source for all the functions plus build and install scripts. This is parallel. Parallel execution package for cluster computers. For parallel execution on a single machine see e.g. function parcellfun (author: Jaroslav Hajek) in package general.

This is a port of The Internet Junkbuster Proxy(TM). An excelent way to enhance your privacy while browsing the web. And it also happens to do a great job of filtering out all those annoying banner ads! This modified version allows one to specify appearance of blocked GIFs. It can automatically compress text/html and text/plain documents for clients which support Accept-Encoding: gzip (e.g. Netscape 4.7, Internet Explorer 5, Lynx 2.8.3) to save downstream modem/network bandwidth. It uses the zlib compression library to perform on-the-fly compression of HTML documents. Please note that this software does not support IPv6. See www/privoxy for a worth followup of this software.

The Snack Sound Toolkit is designed to be used with a scripting language such as Tcl/Tk or Python. Using Snack you can create powerful multi-platform audio applications with just a few lines of code. Snack has commands for basic sound handling, e.g. sound card and disk I/O. Snack also has primitives for sound visualization, e.g. waveforms and spectrograms. It was developed mainly to handle digital recordings of speech, but is just as useful for general audio. Snack has also successfully been applied to other one- dimensional signals. The combination of Snack and a scripting language makes it possible to create sound tools and applications with a minimum of effort. This is due to the rapid development nature of scripting languages. As a bonus you get an application that is cross-platform from start. It is also easy to integrate Snack based applications with existing sound analysis software.

FC++ is a library for functional programming in C++. Functional programming is a programming paradigm in which functions are treated as regular values. Thus, we can have functions that take other functions as parameters. The former functions are called "higher-order" functions. A common feature of functions is that they can be polymorphic. "Polymorphic" means that the same function can be used with arguments of many types. FC++ is distinguished from other libraries (including the C++ Standard Library) by its complete support for polymorphism: FC++ polymorphic higher-order functions can take other polymorphic functions as arguments and return polymorphic functions as results. This is particularly useful (i.e., simplifies code) in C++ where type inference is limited and we often need to pass polymorphic functions around and determine their type later. With FC++ you can define your own higher-order polymorphic functions, but the library also contains a large amount of functionality that can be re-used as-is in C++ programs. This includes infinite ("lazy") lists, useful higher-order functions (like map, compose, etc.), a reference-counting facility that can be used to replace C++ pointers, many common logical and arithmetic operators in a form that can be used with higher-order functions, and more.

This plugin allows you to write e.g. shopping cart code which should behave well for guests as well as permanent users. The basic idea is both logged in and not logged in users can get the same benefits from sessions where it doesn't matter, but that logged in users can keep their sessions accross logins, and will even get the data they added/changed assimilated to their permanent account if they made the changes as guests and then logged in. This is probably most useful for e-commerce sites, where the shopping cart is typically used before login, and should be equally accessible to both guests and logged in users.

Module Getopt::ArgvFile is a simple supplement to other option handling modules. It allows script options and parameters to be read from files instead of from the command line by interpolating file contents into @ARGV. This way it PREPARES the final option handling. Getopt::ArgvFile does NOT perform any option processing itself, and should work fine together with any other option handling module (e.g. Getopt::Long) or even self coded option handling. -Anton <tobez@FreeBSD.org>
