mod_perlservice enables you to directly call perl methods and get return value over the internet.

mod_perlservice? What is that?

The cool new way to do remoting with Perl and Apache! But, lets start by breaking that crazy name apart. mod - perl - service

mod - Its a module for the popular and ubiquitous Apache HTTP Server.
perl - Of course, its the popular and ubiquitous programming language.
service - Ah, this is the unique part. Its the new ingredient that unifies Apache, Perl and XML into an easy to use web-services system.

With the mod_perlservice system, you can write perl subs and packages on your server and call them over the internet from client code. Clients can pass scalars, arrays and hashes to the server-side subroutines and obtain the return value ( scalar, array or hash ) back from the remote code. Some folks refer to this functionality as "remoting" or "RPC", so if you like, you can say mod_perlservice is remoting with Perl and Apache. Client programs may be written in a variety of languages; libraries for C, Perl, and Flash Action Script are all ready to go!

Now that you know what mod_perlservice is, lets look at why it is. The author (Thats me!) believes that mod_perlservice has a very clean, easy-to-use interface when compared with other RPC systems. Also, since it builds on the Apache platform, it benefits from Apaches ubiquity, security, and status as a standard. Since mod_perlservice sports an embedded perl interpreter, it offers high performance for demanding applications.

So what can I use this mod_perlservice for?

You can use it to create networked applications that require client-server communication, information processing and sharing. mod_perlservice is for applications and you will not use it to create dynamic content for your HTML pages. However, you surely can use it for Flash remoting with Perl.

Here are some usage examples:

A desktop application (written using your favorite C++ GUI library) that records the current local air temperatue and sends it to an online database every 10 minutes. The server can be queried to obtain the current and historical local air temperature of any other participating client.

A Flash-based stock portfolio management system. You can create model stock portfolios and retrieve realtime stock quote information and news.

A command-line utility in Perl that accepts English sentences on standard input and outputs the sentences in French. Translation occurs in server-side Perl code. If the sentence is idomatic and the translation is incorrect, the user has the option of sending the server a correct translation that will be stored in an online idiom database.

Pod::PlainText is a Perl module that can convert POD data to formatted ASCII text.

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::PlainText;
my $parser = Pod::PlainText->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);

# Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
$parser->parse_from_filehandle;

# Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
$parser->parse_from_file (file.pod, file.txt);

Pod::PlainText is a module that can convert documentation in the POD format (the preferred language for documenting Perl) into formatted ASCII. It uses no special formatting controls or codes whatsoever, and its output is therefore suitable for nearly any device.

As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::PlainText supports the same methods and interfaces. See Pod::Parser for all the details; briefly, one creates a new parser with Pod::PlainText->new() and then calls either parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().

PicoStorage allows you to store hierarhical information (similar to "files and directories") inside a single file. The functionality offered is largely equivalent to the one offered by any filesystem, or by the Structured Storage and Compound Files.

PicoStorage can efficiently handle huge numbers of small files, with very economical disk usage; it also allows you to keep open (in RAM) simultaneously a large number of files. Transaction support guarantees data integrity.

Learn more about the distinctive advantages of PicoStorage. or look at the benchmark.

The library is available on a dual-license basis: under GPL for free, and under a commercial license for use in closed-source applications.

Using

The library contains the classes File and Dir to represent files and directories. On a File you can read or write a number of bytes from a given offset, and set/get the file size. On a Dir you can create entries (either files or subdirectories), open entries, delete entries, and iterate over the directorys content.

The storage itself (i.e. the whole hierarchical structure, contained in a filesystem file) is represented by the class Storage. Using this class, you can create or open a storage, obtain the root directory of the storage, close the storage and do commit or rollback.

Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI is an abstract interface for objects implementing a certain policy of computing integer-valued coordinates of a Location.

SYNOPSIS

# get a location, e.g., from a SeqFeature
$location = $feature->location();
# examine its coordinate computation policy
print "Location of feature ", $feature->primary_tag(), " employs a ",
ref($location->coordinate_policy()),
" instance for coordinate computationn";
# change the policy, e.g. because the user chose to do so
$location->coordinate_policy(Bio::Location::NarrowestCoordPolicy->new());

Objects implementing this interface are used by Bio::LocationI implementing objects to determine integer-valued coordinates when asked for it. While this may seem trivial for simple locations, there are different ways to do it for fuzzy or compound (split) locations. Classes implementing this interface implement a certain policy, like always widest range, always smallest range, mean for BETWEEN locations, etc. By installing a different policy object in a Location object, the behaviour of coordinate computation can be changed on-the-fly, and with a single line of code client-side.

Forth Foundation Library, in short FFL is a Forth library. It gives you a collection of words written in (ANS) forth which are useful in areas such as data types, collections, interfaces, development support, and compound modules.
The modules in the library are grouped in five clusters:
- Data types - char
- Collections - single linked list
- Interfaces - crc-32
- Development - struct, unit test
- Compound - nothing yet.
Enhancements:
- This release adds four new features to the library, including an n-tree with an iterator, a SHA-256 module, and a regular expressions module.
- The library will now also run on MinForth.

Rose::HTML::Objects is a Perl object-oriented interfaces for HTML.

SYNOPSIS

use Rose::HTML::Form;

$form = Rose::HTML::Form->new(action => /foo,
method => post);

$form->add_fields
(
name => { type => text, size => 20, required => 1 },
height => { type => text, size => 5, maxlength => 5 },
bday => { type => datetime },
);

$form->params(name => John, height => 6ft, bday => 01/24/1984);

$form->init_fields();

$bday = $form->field(bday)->internal_value; # DateTime object

print $bday->strftime(%A); # Tuesday

print $form->field(bday)->html;

The Rose::HTML::Object::* family of classes represent HTML tags, or groups of tags. These objects allow HTML to be arbitrarily manipulated, then serialized to actual HTML (or XHTML). Currently, the process only works in one direction. Objects cannot be constructed from their serialized representations. In practice, given the purpose of these modules, this is not an important limitation.

Any HTML tag can theoretically be represented by a Rose::HTML::Object-derived class, but this family of modules was originally motivated by a desire to simplify the use of HTML forms.

The form/field object interfaces have been heavily abstracted to allow for input and output filtering, inflation/deflation of values, and compound fields (fields that contain other fields). The classes are also designed to be subclassed. The creation of custom form and field subclasses is really the "big win" for these modules.

There is also a simple image tag class which is useful for auto-populating the width and height attributes of img tags. Future releases may include object representations of other HTML tags. Contributions are welcome.

amaroKopeteBR is an amaroK plugin based on the amaroKopete plugin, except that this one is translated into Portuguese (pt_BR) and it has some aditional features like if you put a couple of # between that name patterns (#Album %m# for the album, for example), the plugin will only put that on your nickname if that song is tagged with that field.

If the field is null, it will skip the whole sentence between the #. It also can put this sentence on your status message, not on your nickname.

Another feature is when you pause or stop the music, your Kopete status will change to Away, and when you begin to play it again, it will change to online.
