IO::Interactive is a Perl module with utilities for interactive I/O.

SYNOPSIS

use IO::Interactive qw(is_interactive interactive busy);

if ( is_interactive() ) {
print "Running interactivelyn";
}

# or...

print {interactive} "Running interactivelyn";


$fh = busy {
do_noninteractive_stuff();
}

This module provides three utility subroutines that make it easier to develop interactive applications...

is_interactive()

This subroutine returns true if *ARGV and *STDOUT are connected to the terminal. The test is considerably more sophisticated than:

-t *ARGV && -t *STDOUT

as it takes into account the magic behaviour of *ARGV.

You can also pass is_interactive a writable filehandle, in which case it requires that filehandle be connected to a terminal (instead of *STDOUT). The usual suspect here is *STDERR:

if ( is_interactive(*STDERR) ) {
carp $warning;
}
interactive()

This subroutine returns *STDOUT if is_interactive is true. If is_interactive() is false, interactive returns a filehandle that does not print.

This makes it easy to create applications that print out only when the application is interactive:

print {interactive} "Please enter a value: ";
my $value = ;

You can also pass interactive a writable filehandle, in which case it writes to that filehandle if it is connected to a terminal (instead of writinbg to *STDOUT). Once again, the usual suspect is *STDERR:

print {interactive(*STDERR)} $warning;

busy {...}

This subroutine takes a block as its single argument and executes that block. Whilst the block is executed, *ARGV is temporarily replaced by a closed filehandle. That is, no input from *ARGV is possible in a busy block. Furthermore, any attempts to send input into the busy block through *ARGV is intercepted and a warning message is printed to *STDERR. The busy call returns a filehandle that contains the intercepted input.

A busy block is therefore useful to prevent attempts at input when the program is busy at some non-interactive task.

Orca Interactive Forum Script is an interactive Web-based forum script that is based on AJAX technology,
In the world of accelerating technologies you dont want archaic forum software. You want something new, fresh, classy, stylish and sexy - just like Orca.
Orca introduces a new approach to building online discussion boards. The main focus in Orca is given to self-moderation - it provides tools to build a community without -moderators or administrators. It gives true freedom.
Main features:
AJAXy
- AJAX is cool and trendy, but whats more important - it makes web apps work better. Orca is an AJAX forums script, using AJAX exactly where it should be used. This brings unique user experiences and considerable server load savings.
Self-ruling
- Forums need close attention to run smoothly. Orca doesnt. We built Orca as a self-moderated community script, which can work effectively without any moderators whatsoever. This is the main difference, and Orca will be getting better at it.
Integratable
- You might already have a website, and it might already have a good database of users. Orca is remarkably easy to integrate with your existing user database. You just add it to your site, and it accepts existing members with their photos and passwords.
GPL-licensed
- Free community needs a free forum script. Orca is completely free, open-source and free in terms of licensing. It is distributed under GPL license, which should uncover its potential and make it #1 forum software on the net.
Enhancements:
- This release added a live post tracker, "Sticky" topics, an advanced WYSIWYG post editor, a "Reply with quote" option, and wider support for hosting setups.

Interactive BDD Environment project is a shell like utility for working with ROBDDs.

IBEN is a tool used for teaching Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams.

It allows the student to work with ROBDDs without learning a complex C or C++ interface to an ROBDD package.

One can enter the expressions interactively, and view the result as a graph or ask questions about the ROBDD, such as the number of nodes in the ROBDD.

Ibmonitor is an interactive Linux console application which shows bandwidth consumed on all interfaces. This project is different from existing similar utilities in that it can show the values in Kbits/sec (Kbps) and Kbytes/sec (KBps) simultaneously. It also displays the total data transferred in KB/MB/GB dynamically shifting the unit to adjust available field width.Also there are command line switches which allow to choose whether to display maximum and average bandwidth.
ibmonitor responds to certain key presses while running and can dynamically change its output display format.
Main features:
- Shows received, transmitted and total bandwidth of each interface
- Calculates and displays the combined value of all interfaces
- Diplays total data transferred per interface in KB/MB/GB
- Values can be displayed in Kbits/sec(Kbps) and/or KBytes/sec(KBps)
- Can show maximum bandwidth consumed on each interface since start of utility
- Can show average bandwidth consumption on each interface since start of utility
- The output with all features (max, avg and display in Kbps and KBps) easily fits on a 80x24 console or xterm
- Can interactively change its output display format depending on key pressed by user.
Enhancements:
- The header text is now displayed immediately after starting

Fraqtive is a program for drawing Mandelbrot and Julia fractals. It uses a very fast algorithm and generates high quality, smooth images.

It is fully interactive, allowing for real-time mouse navigation and dynamic generation of the Julia fractal preview. OpenGL-rendered 3D view of the fractals is also supported.

madlibs engine project is a MadLibs clone.

The madlibs engine is a tiny engine for MadLibs-like interactive stories. Basically, you enter different words of a certain part of speech.

The program pastes them into a story text, creating weird, funny, or stupid results.

It runs on anything from a line printer to an xterm.

FieryFilter is an interactive desktop firewall for Linux. FieryFilter will ask you everytime a new network connection is made if you want to allow or deny it.

Fieryfilter is far from being usable. Currently the rule generation is incomplete. Please join development if you want to have it working faster.

ShellTer is an iptables-based firewall. What sets it apart from the rest is that it has built-in SSH brute force protection.
ShellTer project is easy to configure and has an interactive CLI installer.
To install ShellTer, simply execute the "installer" file in this directory.

Enhancements:
- Simple bugfix
