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 Decompiler project is an interactive decompiler, where the user starts with an almost literal translation of Assembly code in C language, which he progressively decompiles by the successive application of low-level refactorings, ultimately leading to high-level C code.
Main features:
- Import Intel IA32 Assembly code, in the AT&T syntax -- the syntax normally generated by the gcc compiler for the Intel IA32 architecture.
- Visualize and export quasi-C language code.
- Provides a context-sensitive refactoring browser to a set of low-level refactorings.
- Visualize and manipulate the Control Flow Graph (CFG) and the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
- For developers:
- It has an extensible data type for program representation.
- It has an easily extensible architecture (new program metadata, new processors, new refactorings, or new visualizations can easily be added).
- It has an embedded language for describing refactorings and other transformation.
- It is possible to modify the refactorings while running the program.
Version restrictions:
- The IA32 instruction set is not yet fully supported, namely the floating-point and SIMD instructions are not yet translated.
- Not all refactoring are implemented, and some are only have a partial implementation.
- The data flow analysis performed in the refactorings focus only on register variables.
- The implementation of several of many necessary the refactorings is still missing due to lack of time.

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

makeutil is a set of portable public domain programs designed to support C/C++ projects. It provides tools for build operations outside of the normal compile/link pipeline.
It is designed to be unobtrusively included directly in your own software development project.
Here is a brief description of each tool:
- config: choose file based on platform
- ccinfo: name compiler used to compile program
- mksystype: determine operating system
- mkarray: convert input file to C array
- mkstring: convert input line to C string
- armor: convert binary file to ascii
- dearmor: convert encoded ascii file to binary
- textpack: compress files with precompiled frequency table
- textpand: uncompress files with precompiled frequency table
- ckey: create frequency table from input
- extract: extract files from an extract format text archive
- retract: create an extract format text archive
- addcr: add a t before every n
- delcr: delete the r from every rn
- unmake: process include directives in a Makefile
