INSPEC::BibTeX is a Perl extension to convert INSPEC data from INSPEC::Retriever to BibTeX format.

SYNOPSIS

use INSPEC::BibTeX;

These routines allow you to to convert INSPEC data from INSPEC::Retriever to BibTeX format

Data::SimplePassword provides a simple random password generator.

SYNOPSIS

use Data::SimplePassword;

my $sp = Data::SimplePassword->new;
$sp->chars( 0..9, a..z, A..Z ); # optional

my $password = $sp->make_password( 8 ); # length

Its a very easy-to-use but a bit strong random password generator.

kGpsImageTag reads gps data from a text file and correlates it with the photos in the same folder.

Use Correlate data to correlate gps data with images. If an image does not have a gps entry, it is extrapolated.

Use Hide/Show to hide/show all lines that do not correspond to an image.

LindeX Retriever is a collection of Perl scripts that get LindeX Market Data from the Linden Lab (Second Life) feed.

It can filter them using XML::XPath, and store them using rrdtool.

Output example:

[root@database ~]# perl lindex.pl

Data::Serializer package contains modules that serialize data structures.

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Serializer;

$obj = Data::Serializer->new();

$obj = Data::Serializer->new(
serializer => Storable,
digester => MD5,
cipher => DES,
secret => my secret,
compress => 1,
);

$serialized = $obj->serialize({a => [1,2,3],b => 5});
$deserialized = $obj->deserialize($serialized);
print "$deserialized->{b}n";

Provides a unified interface to the various serializing modules currently available. Adds the functionality of both compression and encryption.

EXAMPLES

Please see Data::Serializer::Cookbook(3)

METHODS

new - constructor
$obj = Data::Serializer->new();


$obj = Data::Serializer->new(
serializer => Data::Dumper,
digester => SHA-256,
cipher => Blowfish,
secret => undef,
portable => 1,
compress => 0,
serializer_token => 1,
options => {},
);

new is the constructor object for Data::Serializer objects.

The default serializer is Data::Dumper
The default digester is SHA-256
The default cipher is Blowfish
The default secret is undef
The default portable is 1
The default encoding is hex
The default compress is 0
The default compressor is Compress::Zlib
The default serializer_token is 1
The default options is {} (pass nothing on to serializer)
serialize - serialize reference

$serialized = $obj->serialize({a => [1,2,3],b => 5});

Serializes the reference specified.
Will compress if compress is a true value.
Will encrypt if secret is defined.
deserialize - deserialize reference

$deserialized = $obj->deserialize($serialized);

Reverses the process of serialization and returns a copy of the original serialized reference.

freeze - synonym for serialize
$serialized = $obj->freeze({a => [1,2,3],b => 5});

thaw - synonym for deserialize
$deserialized = $obj->thaw($serialized);

raw_serialize - serialize reference in raw form
$serialized = $obj->raw_serialize({a => [1,2,3],b => 5});

This is a straight pass through to the underlying serializer, nothing else is done. (no encoding, encryption, compression, etc)

raw_deserialize - deserialize reference in raw form
$deserialized = $obj->raw_deserialize($serialized);

This is a straight pass through to the underlying serializer, nothing else is done. (no encoding, encryption, compression, etc)

secret - specify secret for use with encryption
$obj->secret(mysecret);

Changes setting of secret for the Data::Serializer object. Can also be set in the constructor. If specified than the object will utilize encryption.

portable - encodes/decodes serialized data

Uses encoding method to ascii armor serialized data

Aids in the portability of serialized data.

compress - compression of data

Compresses serialized data. Default is not to use it. Will compress if set to a true value $obj->compress(1);

serializer - change the serializer

Currently have 8 supported serializers: Storable, FreezeThaw, Data::Denter, Config::General, YAML, PHP::Serialization, XML::Dumper, and Data::Dumper.
Default is to use Data::Dumper.

Each serializer has its own caveats about usage especially when dealing with cyclical data structures or CODE references. Please see the appropriate documentation in those modules for further information.

cipher - change the cipher method

Utilizes Crypt::CBC and can support any cipher method that it supports.

digester - change digesting method

Uses Digest so can support any digesting method that it supports. Digesting function is used internally by the encryption routine as part of data verification.

compressor - changes compresing module

This method is included for possible future inclusion of alternate compression method Currently Compress::Zlib is the only supported compressor.

encoding - change encoding method

Encodes data structure in ascii friendly manner. Currently the only valid options are hex, or b64.

The b64 option uses Base64 encoding provided by MIME::Base64, but strips out newlines.

serializer_token - add usage hint to data

Data::Serializer prepends a token that identifies what was used to process its data. This is used internally to allow runtime determination of how to extract Serialized data. Disabling this feature is not recommended.

options - pass options through to underlying serializer

Currently is only supported by Config::General, and XML::Dumper.

my $obj = Data::Serializer->new(serializer => Config::General,
options => {
-LowerCaseNames => 1,
-UseApacheInclude => 1,
-MergeDuplicateBlocks => 1,
-AutoTrue => 1,
-InterPolateVars => 1
},
) or die "$!n";

or

my $obj = Data::Serializer->new(serializer => XML::Dumper,
options => { dtd => 1, }
) or die "$!n";
store - serialize data and write it to a file (or file handle)
$obj->store({a => [1,2,3],b => 5},$file, [$mode, $perm]);

or

$obj->store({a => [1,2,3],b => 5},$fh);

Serializes the reference specified using the serialize method and writes it out to the specified file or filehandle.

If a file path is specified you may specify an optional mode and permission as the next two arguments. See IO::File for examples.

Trips an exception if it is unable to write to the specified file.

retrieve - read data from file (or file handle) and return it after deserialization

my $ref = $obj->retrieve($file);

or

my $ref = $obj->retrieve($fh);

Reads first line of supplied file or filehandle and returns it deserialized.

AIPS (Astronomical Information Processing System) handles the processing and display of data from radio interferometers.
Data can be collected from any radio telescope array. Images can be exported in FITS format.
Enhancements:
- Numerous major bugfixes and updates, some of which are not backwards-compatible with previous releases.

DOG Data Organizer provides a bookmark organizer for various bookmark types.

DOG is a personal knowledge manager based on topic maps. It currently specializes in managing bookmarks.

It imports and exports Netscape, Mozilla, and KDE2 (XBEL) bookmark files, and it imports KDE1 bookmarks and Windows IE Favorites.
