getAbsPath is a C header (getAbsPath.h) or an ANSI C tool (getAbsPath) which converts relative unix/win32 pathes to absolute ones.

getAbsPath uses current working directory (CWD) as basis. Use it e.g. for finding out the current path of a shell script.

EXAMPLE:

find out the current path of a script, using the $0 and the ` pwd` command

#!/bin/bash
PWD=`pwd`
RelPath="../../../testdir"
GAP=`./getAbsPath $PWD $0`
echo $GAP
exit 0

Bypass Proxy Client is the complete network privacy tool. It ensures absolute privacy wherever you maybe, preventing would-be snoopers from monitoring your surfing, email, or chatting activity. You can bypass blocking filters, firewalls, and proxies. Surf, chat, read news boards, and get all your email at work, on campus (or in regions/areas that may block controversial websites).
Main features:
- Surf the internet using your own virtual network across the web.
-
- Anonymously surf news groups, chat rooms, and web sites!
-
- Protect your Kazaa Identity; Guard against IP tracing -- the no. 1 method
- used by the RIAA to spy on users of file shares (Kazaa, BearShare, etc.)
-
- Prevent corporate networks from eavesdropping and viewing your personal information!
-
- Keep your email and other personal documents private.
-
- Regain access to sites that were previously blocked or filtered. Chat with friends online without concerns about eavesdropping.

Site Editor is a CGI script which allows a user to manage their web space without needing ftp access.

With only a web browser you can browse your web space, edit text files, upload files, and create and remove directories. Site Editor also has ZIP support making it easy to grab an entire directory tree.

Site Editor is completely functional but is missing some features and polish which would make it easier to use. Currently it requires access control to be handled by the web server. On top of this the code is a little raw, hence this is not a 1.0 release.

To configure for your system the "site_editor" script needs to be modified slightly. In the "Config" section edit the following variables:

$BASE_DIR Root directory for editing files.
$BASE_URL Web location for $BASE_DIR files. Can be relative or absolute.
$TITLE Title prefix to be used for each page.
$ICON_URL Location of icons. It may be relative or absolute.
$ZIP The full path to your Info-ZIP binary. Comment to disable.

I have included a simple patch to Apaches suexec which will allow the script to be root owned. With suexec and the script owned by root the user wont be able to modify the scripts configuration but will still be able to create and modify their own files.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Daizu::File is a Perl class representing files in working copies.

Each object of this class represents a particular file in a Daizu CMS working copy (a record in the wc_file table).

METHODS

Note that all the functions which return the value of a Subversion property will strip leading and trailing whitespace, and treat a value which is empty or entirely whitespace as if it wasnt set at all.

Daizu::File->new($cms, $file_id)

Return a new Daizu::File object for the file with the specified ID number.

$file->data

Return a reference to a string containing the file data (content).

$file->wc

Return a Daizu::Wc object representing the working copy in which this file lives.

$file->guid_uri

Return the GUID URI for this file.

$file->directory_path

Returns the path of a directory, either the same as the file if its a directory itself, or the path of its parent directory, or if its at the top level.

$file->permalink

Returns the first URL generated by the file, which will be the URL you want to link to most of the time. For articles this will always be the normal HTML version of the article, even if there are also other URLs available for it, and it will always be the first page of multipage articles. For non-article files there is no guarantee about what this will return, but most will only generate a single URL anyway, and for those that dont generators are likely to return the most linkable URL first.

The URL returned is an absolute URL provided as a URI object.

Returns nothing if the file doesnt generate any URLs.

There are some cases where this might not be what you want. For example, the root directory of a website using Daizu::Gen will either not generate a URL at all, or will generate one for a Google sitemap XML file, neither of which is likely to be useful for linking. To get the URL of the website you would probably need to find a file called something like _index.html. On the other hand, the Daizu::Gen::Blog generator will give you a sensible URL for the blog homepage if you call this on its root directory.

$file->urls_in_db($method, $argument)

Return a list of the URLs (plain strings, each an absolute URI) of the file which have the specified method and argument values, drawing from the url table in the database.

$file->article_urls

Return information about the URLs which the file should have, if it is an article. Fails if it isnt.

Strings edit is a library that provides I/O facilities for integer, floating-point, Roman numbers, and strings. Both input and output subroutines support string pointers for consequent stream processing. The output can be aligned in a fixed size field with padding.
Numeric input can be checked against expected values range to be either saturated or to raise an exception. For floating-point output either relative or absolute output precision can be specified. UTF-8 encoded strings are supported.
Enhancements:
- GPS project files were added for GNAT users.
- A bug was fixed in Strings_Edit.Generic_Scale in which the caclculated precision was of the minor scale tick rather than of the major tick.

Data::Region Perl module can define hierarchical areas with behaviors.

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Region;

$r = Data::Region->new( 8.5, 11, { data => PageObj->new() } );
$r->data( PageObj->new() );

foreach my $c ( $r->subdivide(2.5,3) ) {
$a = $c->area(0.25,0.25, 2.25,2.75);
$a2 = $c->area(0.25,0.25, -0.25,-0.25); # as offset from lower right

($t,$m,$b) = $a->split_vertical(2,5,1); # sequential heights
($t,$m,$b) = $a->split_vertical_abs(0,2,7); # absolute offsets
($l,$r) = $a->split_horizontal(2); # $l gets width of 2, $r gets the rest

my($x1,$y1,$x2,$y2) = $a->coords();
my $data = $a->data(); # data inherits from parent, if not set
$a->action( sub { $data->setfont("Times-Bold", 10);
$data->text($x1,$y1, "Some Text");
$data->line( $_[0]->coords() ); # the non-closure way
} );
}
$r->render(); # heirarchically perform all the actions

# Get some info about a region:
($w,$h) = ( $a->width(), $a->height() );
($x1,$y1, $x2,$y2) = $a->coords();
($x1,$y1) = $a->top_left();
($x2,$y1) = $a->top_right();
($x1,$y2) = $a->bottom_left();
($x2,$y2) = $a->bottom_right();

Data::Region allows you to easily define a set of nested (2-dimensional) areas, defined by related coordinates, and to associate actions with them. The actions can then be performed hierarchically from any root of the tree.

Data::Region was written to provide an easy way to do simple page layout, but has, perhaps, more general uses.

Module::Starter::PBP is a Perl module to create a module as recommended in "Perl Best Practices".

SYNOPSIS

# In your ~/.module-starter/config file...

author: < Your Name >
email: < your@email.addr >
plugins: Module::Starter::PBP
template_dir: < /some/absolute/path/name >

# Then on the command-line...

> module-starter --module=Your::New::Module

# Or, if youre lazy and happy to go with
# the recommendations in "Perl Best Practices"...

> perl -MModule::Starter::PBP=setup

This module implements a simple approach to creating modules and their support files, based on the Module::Starter approach. Module::Starter needs to be installed before this module can be used.

When used as a Module::Starter plugin, this module allows you to specify a simple directory of templates which are filled in with module-specific information, and thereafter form the basis of your new module.

The default templates that this module initially provides are based on the recommendations in the book "Perl Best Practices".
