ABSTRACT
Getopt::Mixed::Help is a simplified interface to Getopt::Mixed adding usage (help) functionality. It automatically adds the options -?, -h and --help (the last two configurable) to print the usage text. It allows to get option values from the environment (if the operating system it runs on supports environment variables). It can also add different flavours of support for multiple options. Finally it supports debugging output of the options used.
The module uses a direct import mechanism called with a hash as parameter. The structure of the hash is as follows:
The key is a combined (SHORT > LONG [ARGUMENT SPECIFIER [VALUE IDENTIFIER]]) option description for Getopt::Mixed, except for the VALUE IDENTIFIER which is simply included into the help text. The value following the key is simply the help text for this option.
If the second character of the first key is not >, the first key is taken as descriptive identifiers for additional parameters and the help for them.
Any key starting with ( and ending with ) will be interpreted as a footnote (additional help text) to the real options. They should be used at the end of the list only.
A key equal to ENV is used to get default values for the remaining options from the environment. For any option not initialised on the command line an environment variable with the prefix of the value following ENV and a rest of the name identical to the uppercase long option name (e.g. SCRIPT_OPT_DEBUG) will be checked. If this environment variable exists, it will be used to set the option. Note that in the name of the rest of the environment variable uppercase is used and hyphens are relaced with underlines.
A key equal to ENV_ is used in the same way as the key ENV. In addition it allows for a special environment variable with the prefix of the value following ENV followed by a single underline (_) as combined initialiser (for more than one option, e.g. export SCRIPT_OPT__=debug verbose=2). Note that no whitespaces are allowed in the values of the options initialised this way as the string in the environment variable is parsed in a simple way.
The module defines the variable $optUsage containing the complete help text.
If an option debug exists and is choosen on the command line, this module will print all option values and all remaining parameters to standard error. The name of this option may be changed, see "changing the debug option" below in the "CHANGING DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR" section.
Free Help Desk 1.08a
Help desk software is vital to the success of your help desk and customer support staff. more>>
The design of this software comes from many years of help desk experience working in a help desk environment. All the basic tools for running a successful help desk are included in this help desk software package.
Help desk software should be used in any organization whether its a large corporation or a small startup company. Why should my company implement a helpdesk software solution? Some of the benefits of helpdesk software are improved customer service, faster response times and lower information technology costs. Lets outline these three areas in greater detail.
When a user contacts the computer support professional in your organization, what steps are taken? Does it depend on who answered the phone? Do the immediately drop any task and visit your desk? Do they jot your information down on a note pad? Do they attempt to resolve the issue on the phone at great length? What criteria merits the call be moved to another member of the IT staff, or merits a call the software vendor?
All these questions can be answered in some way within the use of help desk software. Helpdesk software forces your IT staff to handle help desk calls in a structured manner that can be counted on each time. When a helpdesk call is received, it should be immediately be entered into the help desk software database, even if it is easily answered.
At this point there is now a record of the call, and this allows other IT staff to view the contents of the problem and makes it a simple task for other IT staff members to offer solutions. This also prevents the call from being lost in the shuffle if staff is busy when the call is received. Your general staff will have much more confidence that when they place that call to your help desk staff, their call will be handled in a structured method to ensure their satisfaction.
If they can continue to work, they will not feel the need to keep calling or checking with IT staff on the progress, or worry that their call will not be answered in a reasonable amount of time. This allows them to focus on their tasks, and not be concerned with the status of their call.
Many help desk software solutions offer a self-help method, allowing the staff members in your company to submit a helpdesk request directly into the help desk system. (granted their computer is functioning enough for this) This feature greatly streamlines the process, and can increase response time for all users. Help desk support staff will not be interrupted by the phone call and have to stop working on another issue to record the call information.
In fact, it should be encouraged by the IT staff to submit all request possible with this method. When a request is entered into the system, it allows any available support personnel to respond to the request. It also allows support personnel to diversify calls, so if a calls is shown to be about a particular problem that a staff member has greater expertise with, that staff member will likely be able to solve the problem much quicker. Once each calls is resolved, the solution will then become available for future reference.
This is one of the greatest benefits an organization will receive from using a help desk system. This allows newer support staff to be able to answer many questions by simply searching the database for other calls. Also prevent 2 support staff from having to research for the same solution, this benefits in much faster response time for the end user.
Everything mentioned above will contribute to the overall quality of service in your organization, happier staff and faster response time will mean lower costs and higher productivity for your organization.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a bug found in the main form that caused some performance problems in certain system configurations.
PHD Help Desk 1.3
PHD Help Desk provides help desk registry and follow-up software. more>>
PHD Help Desk is software conceived for the registry and follow-up of help desks incidents. Registry of incidents allows classification in two levels (type and subtype), the state of the incident, a description, ticket assignment and priority, historical registry, and an audit.
Information can be reported in consultation format, to give reports or export the information for later processing in a database or spreadsheet.
Enhancements:
- Now the operators belong to a sector, in the same way that the users belong an area.
- The database update proccess will insert the sector table with the areas that belong to the operators in version 1.21.
- The ticket is now initialized as "private" by default.
- Only the operators can change this state.
- Two bugs in the support request that prevented the input of the request into the ticket database were corrected.
Tk::Help 0.2
Tk::Help is simple widget for creating a help system for Perl/Tk applications. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use Tk::Help;
my $help = $main->Help(-variable => @array);
This is an answer to a personal need to be able to create help systems for my Perl/Tk applications. Originally, I just created a really big dialog and formatted all the text, which was tedious and clumsy.
I wanted to create something that looked similar to the Windows help. This is by no means as featured or fluid as the Windows help, but it should provide a (somewhat) simple means to create a help dialog where all someone should need to do is create the array with their help content.
IRC::Bot::Help 0.07
IRC::Bot::Help is a module to dispatch help for IRC::Bot. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use IRC::Bot::Help;
my $seen = IRC::Bot::Help->new();

# User asks for help in DCC CHAT
sub on_dcc_chat {
my ( $kernel, $id, $who, $msg ) = @_[ KERNEL, ARG0, ARG1, ARG3 ];
my $nick = ( split /!/, $who )[0];
# Do Stuff...
if ( $msg =~ m/^.help/i ) {
my $topic = $help->ask_help(all);
$kernel->post( NICK, dcc_chat, $id, $topic );
}
}
Basically holds a list of help topics and dispatches them on demand.

pt-helper 0.1.1
pt-helper is a program designed to help people perform physical therapy exercises. more>>
pt-helper 0.1.1 with its excellent features will surely help you in daily life. It is actually a program designed to help you perform physical therapy exercises. It reads in exercise information from a file, and then it uses this information to generate a random physical therapy routine. The program can either:
- Read the names of the exercises to you as you perform them
- Generate the routine as text (which you can copy into a file and print out)
When combined with a wireless mouse or other input device, pt-helper becomes a powerful tool for conducting a physical therapy routine.
Installation Instructions:
- pt-helper is written in Python, so you'll need a Python interpreter to get anything working. It also depends on several Python modules;
- If you do have all the dependencies, you should be able to run the program just by running the pt-helper script with a Python interpreter. From a shell, the following command should do the trick: $ python pt-helper.py
- Users of graphical file managers can probably double-click the pt-helper script to achieve the same effect.
Requirements:
- Python
- PyGame
- Festival Speech Synthesis System

Normal/Displacement Map Generator 1.5
Normal/Displacement Map Generator is a tool designed to help you create Geometry Normal Maps. more>>
Those kind of Normal Maps are best generated using a High Resolution Mesh from which the Normal Informations is extracted and projected onto the Low Resolution Mesh. This tool provides exactly this functionality. A known tool to do the same is ORB but it is windows only and impracticable to use for developing a game on a Linux system.
Besides generating a Geometry Normal Map this tool can also apply a Detail Normal Map onto of the generated Geometry Normal Map. Such Normal Maps are easily created using Normal-Plugins for 2D Graphic Applications like The GIMP. Those Normal Informations are then used to enhance the generated Normal Map. This process can be repeated many times.
Also generated is a Displacement or Height Map. Those maps can be used for Offset Mapping or with never Pixel Shader version to render a Low Resolution Mesh with much more detail by creating Vertices and Faces on the fly during rendering displacing them using such a Displacement Map. This map can also be used as a pure Height Map for Terrain Generators.

Cubehub Tunnel 1.0
Cubehub is a simple UDP over TCP tunnel application written in Java. more>>
SOCKS 4 and 5 are protocols that are supposed to allow users to send data through a firewall. However, they only work like this if the SOCKS server is on the firewall itself. Whilst TCP/IP traffic is frequently permitted through firewalls, UDP/IP (required by most online games) is often blocked. When a SOCKS 5 server relays UDP data (SOCKS 4 does not support UDP), the packets are simply relayed, there is no tunnelling involved.
This application provides a solution, tunnelling the data being relayed by a SOCKS server over one or (for better gaming performance) multiple TCP connections to help applications and games to work from behind a restrictive firewall.
Main features:
- Socks 4/5 server
- TCP and UDP tunnelling over single or multiple TCP connections
- Resilience against individual connection dropping
