Authen::Ticket provides the framework for implementing a ticketing system
for web authentication. Both the client website and ticket server code
can be constructed from Authen::Ticket. The framework allows for customization
at all phases in the process. This includes not only the login screens, but
the cookie creation and optional digital signature algorithm as well. Consult
the README for more details on this module.
Spot The Difference is a file integrity checker. Its goal is to detect signs of
intrusion by looking for suspicious changes in system files. Crackers, in fact,
to do their evil or just to make sure they can work their way back into the
system, often change some configuration files, executables and/or log files
(usually with rootkits); thus leaving signs of the break-in.
The Excel::Writer::XLSX module can be used to create an Excel file in the 2007+
XLSX format. The XLSX format is the Office Open XML (OOXML) format used by Excel
2007 and later. Multiple worksheets can be added to a workbook and formatting
can be applied to cells. Text, numbers, and formulas can be written to the
cells. This module cannot, as yet, be used to write to an existing Excel XLSX
file.
DBIx::Admin::DSNManager manages a file of DSNs, for both testing and production.
The INI-style format was selected, rather than, say, using an SQLite database,
so that casual users could edit the file without needing to know SQL and without
having to install the command line program sqlite3.
Each DSN is normally for something requiring manual preparation, such as
creating the database named in the DSN.
In the case of SQLite, etc, where manual intervention is not required, you can
still put the DSN in dsn.ini.
One major use of this module is to avoid environment variable overload, since it
is common to test Perl modules by setting the env vars $DBI_DSN, $DBI_USER and
$DBI_PASS.
But then the problem becomes: What do you do when you want to run tests against
a set of databases servers? Some modules define sets of env vars, one set per
database server, with awkward and hard-to-guess names. This is messy and
obscure.
DBIx::Admin::DSNManager is a solution to this problem.
Pike is an interpreted, object-oriented programming language.
It looks a bit like C and C++, but it is much easier to learn and use.
It can be used for small scripts as well as for large programs.
Pike is :
- High-level and powerful, which means that even very complex
things are easy to do.
- Object-oriented, which means that you can use modern programming
techniques to divide a large program into small pieces, which are much
easier to write than it would be to write the entire program at once.
- Interpreted, which means that you don't have to wait for a program to
compile and link when you want to run it.
- One of the fastest "scripting" languages available.
- Garbage-collected, which makes programming much simpler, and removes
the risk for memory leaks and other memory-related bugs.
- Easy to extend, which means that you can create plug-ins, written in
Pike as well as in C or C++, and integrate them with the rest of Pike.
Normally version control systems don't allow fine grained commits.
commit-patch allows the user to control exactly what gets committed by
letting the user supply a patch to be committed rather than using the
files in the current working directory.
commit-patch supports Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion,
Monotone or CVS repositories.
Also included is an Emacs interface to commit-patch. It allows you to
just hit C-c C-c in any patch buffer to apply and commit only the
changes indicated by the patch, regardless of the changes in your
working directory.
LAPACK++ (Linear Algebra PACKage in C++) is a software library for numerical
linear algebra that solves systems of linear equations and eigenvalue
problems on high performance computer architectures.
Computational support is provided for supports various matrix classes for
vectors, non-symmetric matrices, SPD matrices, symmetric matrices, banded,
triangular, and tridiagonal matrices; however, it does not include all
of the capabilities of original f77 LAPACK. Emphasis is given to routines
for solving linear systems consisting of non-symmetric matrices,
symmetric positive definite systems, and solving linear least-square systems.
PidgiMPD is a Pidgin plugin for monitoring/controlling MPD.
PidgiMPD can do both automatic and manual tasks.
The manual tasks are handled via the command /mpc in conversation windows.
Help about that command can be found using the parameter help.
The automatic tasks are:
* Automatically set away message to user defined string OR set Pidgin TUNE
status, if available. (TUNE status is supported in MSNP14 and Jabber)
* Automatically send currently playing song information to users in
active conversations.
The syntax of the messages can be user configured.
Belle-sip is a SIP (RFC3261) implementation written in C, with an object
oriented API.
* RFC3261 compliant implementation of SIP parser, writer, transactions and
dialog layers
* http client api
* support of client TLS certificate
* fully asynchronous transport layer (UDP, TCP, TLS)
* fully asynchronous DNS resolution with SRV
* full dual-stack IPv6 support
* SIP transaction state machines with lastest corrections (RFC6026)
* automatic management of request refreshes with network disconnection
resiliency thanks to the "refresher" object
* supported platforms: Linux, Mac OSX, Windows XP+, iOS, Android,
Blackberry 10
mod_perl brings together the full power of the Perl programming language
and the Apache HTTP server. You can use Perl to manage Apache, respond to
requests for web pages and much more.
mod_perl gives you a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web
server. This lets you avoid the overhead of starting an external interpreter
and avoids the penalty of Perl start-up time, giving you super-fast
dynamic content.
As you'd expect from the Perl community, there are hundreds of modules
written for mod_perl, everything from persistent database connections, to
templating sytems, to complete XML content delivery systems. Web sites like
Slashdot and Wired Magazine use mod_perl.
