INTRO
=====
I needed a basic text-mode GUI framework to implement some
nice-looking proggies on Linux. Didn't find any around, so necessity
became the mother of PerlVision. And this beast kept growing as I made
love to Perl, so now it's far from 'basic'. Provides 90% of the
features you'd want for a user interface, including check boxes,
radio buttons, three different styles (!) of pushbuttons, single and
multiple selection list boxes, an extensible edit box that does
auto-wrapping, a scrollable viewbox, single line text entry fields, a
menu bar with pulldown menus, and full pop-up dialog boxes with multiple
controls.
This version of PerlVision uses Will Setzer's Curses.pm dynaload
module for Perl, so you need to get and compile that first, from
ftp://ftp.ncsu.edu/pub/math/wsetzer/cursperl<whatever>.
PerlVision will only work with Perl 5+ of-course (upgrade || die()!).
GMT is a collection of public-domain Unix tools that allows you to
manipulate x,y and x,y,z data sets (filtering, trend fitting,
gridding, projecting, etc.) and produce PostScript illustrations
ranging from simple x-y plots, via contour maps, to artificially
illuminated surfaces and 3-d perspective views in black/white or
24bit color. Linear, log10, and power scaling is supported in
addition to 25 common map projections. The processing and display
routines within GMT are completely general and will handle any (x,y)
or (x,y,z) data as input.
This port installs only the GMT manpages, there is a tutorial and
documentation in .ps, .pdf and .html format on the ftp site, too.
In case you look for data to plot, there is topological data at
ftp://topex.ucsd.edu/pub/global_topo_2min/topo_8.2.img
(140MB, covers nearly the whole earth)
Some commonly used Perl modules don't have SSL support at all, even if the
protocol supports it. Others have SSL support, but most of them don't do proper
checking of the server's certificate.
The Net::SSLGlue::* modules try to add SSL support or proper certificate
checking to these modules. Currently support for the following modules is
available:
- Net::SMTP - add SSL from beginning or using STARTTLS
- Net::POP3 - add SSL from beginning or using STLS
- Net::FTP - add SSL and IPv6 support to Net::FTP
- Net::LDAP - add proper certificate checking
- LWP - add proper certificate checking
There is also a Net::SSLGlue::Socket package which combines SSL and non-SSL and
IPv6 capabilities to make it easier to enhance modules based on
IO::Socket::INET.
This is a simple GUI-based tool to help LJ user post images to his/her
LiveJournal. It merely uploads images to specified location and generates
HTML code to be inserted to LiveJournal entry. It can be used with
LiveJournal client (such as LogJam), or separately.
Features include:
- GTK2 interface
- ability to upload images via ftp or scp
- resizing image before uploading
- creating image thumbnail and a link to big-sized image
- instant image preview while resizing
This module acts as glue between IO::All and LWP, so that files can be read and
written through the network using the convenient IO:All interface. Note that
this module is not used directly: you just use IO::All, which knows when to
autoload IO::All::HTTP, IO::All::HTTPS, IO::All::FTP, or IO::All::Gopher, which
implement the specific protocols based on IO::All::LWP.
An interpreter for all Infocom games. Complies with standard
1.0 of Graham Nelson's specification. Frotz runs text adventures
which come in so-called story files: ZORK1.DAT, TRINITY.DAT,
CURSES.Z5, JIGSAW.Z8, ARTHUR.ZIP etc. It is possible to play
Atari ST, Amiga or Macintosh games on your PC once you manage
to transfer the story files. There is an increasing number
of new games available on the Internet. Check the if-archive
at ftp.ifarchive.org.
Stamp is a command-line program which will process a greyscale jpeg image,
such as one produced by a greyscale Quickcam. It can add a graphical (and
configurable) timestamp to the image. Stamp can also upload the timestamped
image via FTP, with the configuration of a stamprc file. It also features a
"quad" option which will take the latest image and composite it with up to
three previous images, while timestamping the latest one.
HITCHCOCK'S BIBLE NAMES Dictionary was produced by Mr. Brad Haugaard.
This file is converted from the original dictionary into JIS X 4081
format (that is a subset of EPWING V1) by FreePWING. So this can be
used by EPWING viewers on Unix and the other OS (e.g. Windows or
MacOS).

MLDonkey is an OCAML/GTK client for a number of
peer-to-peer networks.
It is separated into a core with telnet and web
interfaces, and a GTK GUI.
The following protocols are supported:
- eDonkey (http://www.edonkey2000.com/)
- Overnet (http://www.overnet.com/)
- Bittorrent (http://www.bittorrent.com/)
- Gnutella (http://www.gnutella.org/)
- Gnutella2 (http://www.shareaza.com/)
- Fasttrack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasttrack)
- FileTP [http/ftp/ssh] (http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/FileTP)
- Kademlia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kad_Network)
Net::INET6Glue is a collection of modules to make common modules IPv6
ready by hotpatching them.
Unfortunatly the current state of IPv6 support in perl is that no IPv6
support is in the core and that a lot of important modules (like
Net::FTP, Net::SMTP, LWP,...) do not support IPv6 even if the modules
for IPv6 sockets Socket6, IO::Socket::INET6 are available.
This module tries to mitigate this by hotpatching.
