PCX Firewall is an IPTables firewalling solution that uses Perl to generate static shell scripts based upon the users configuration settings.
This allows the firewall to startup quickly, as it does not have to parse config files every time it starts.
Enhancements:
- All known bugs have been fixed. Support has been added for Debian Sarge and Red Hat FC[1-3] as "official" distributions to work with when generating init scripts. The ability has been added to just install the generated firewall script into /etc/init.d or /etc/pcx-firewall without starting it.

Original Disk Mount Applet is the original disk mount panel applet.

This is the same as the disk mounter included through GNOME 2.8. For GNOME 2.10 the official applet was rewritten, the new version adds the ability to autodetect mountable devices, but drops a significant (all) configurability.

It no longer allows you to choose which devices are displayed on the panel, their order, or icon representation.

Install this applet if you want to restore the old disk mounter behavior for GNOME 2.10.

Zoogle provides a Z39.50 gateway to the Google Web index.

Zoogle is a Z39.50 gateway to the Google web index. With this gateway you can search the Google index with any Z39.50 client.

It is based upon Googles official search API, the popular YAZ toolkit, and the Perl module Net::Z3950::SimpleServer.

Locale::Object::Language Perl module contains language information objects.

Locale::Object::Language allows you to create objects containing information about languages such as their ISO codes, the countries theyre used in and so on.

SYNOPSIS

use Locale::Object::Language;

my $eng = Locale::Object::Language->new( code_alpha3 => eng );

my $name = $eng->name;
my $code_alpha2 = $eng->code_alpha2;
my $code_alpha3 = $eng->code_alpha3;

my @countries = $eng->countries;

my $gb = Locale::Object::Country->new( code_alpha2 => gb );

print $eng->official($gb);

METHODS

new()

my $eng = Locale::Object::Language->new( code_alpha3 => eng );

The new method creates an object. It takes a single-item hash as an argument - valid options to pass are ISO 3166 values - code_alpha2, code_alpha3 and name (see Locale::Object::DB::Schemata for details on these).
The objects created are singletons; if you try and create a currency object when one matching your specification already exists, new() will return the original one.

name(), code_alpha2(), code_alpha3()

my $name = $country->name;

These methods retrieve the values of the attributes in the object whose name they share.

countries()

my @countries = $eng->countries;

Returns an array (in array context, otherwise a reference) of Locale::Object::Country objects with their ISO 3166 alpha2 codes as keys (see Locale::Object::DB::Schemata for more details on those) for all countries using this currency in array context, or a reference in scalar context. The objects have their own attribute methods, so you can do things like this for example:

foreach my $place (@countries)
{
print $place->name, "n";
}

Which will list you all the countries that use in that currency. See the documentation for Locale::Object::Country for a listing of country attributes. Note that you can chain methods as well.

foreach my $place (@countries)
{
print $place->continent->name, "n";
}
official()
my $gb = Locale::Object::Country->new( code_alpha2 => gb );

print $eng->official($gb); # prints true

Give this method a Locale::Object::Country object, and it will return a true or false value for whether the country the object represents has the language represented by your Locale::Object::Language object as an official language. See database.pod for a note about languages in the database.

Automated Linux From Scratch or ALFS, is a project that aims to create a generic framework of an extendable system builder and package installer using XML to describe the process.

Its goal is to automate the process of creating an LFS system. It seeks to make the process of building LFS easier and more efficient while still providing flexibility, granting the user total control and insight into the compilation and management of his LFS build.

The LFS and BLFS projects have selected the nALFS implementation as the "official" ALFS implementation. See below for more info.

Its been in production use for over a year now and is under active development. Take a look at the news page for status of the current stable version.

The LFS and BLFS projects official implementation is Neven Hass nALFS. Mark Ellis also has a perl implementation. Next to the official ALFS implementation, there are a number of more or less tested automated LFS build systems available in the section menu.

Locale files for South Africa project are scripts to aid in localization of software. Deals with conversion between different translation formats (such as gettext-based .po formats, OpenOffice.org formats, and Mozilla formats). Also tools to help process localizations etc.
Translate.org.za is a non-profit organisation producing Free and Open Source software that enables and empowers South Africans.
The Translate Project started in 2001 with the vision of providing Free Software translated into the 11 official languages of South Africa. Free Software in your language is true empowerment.
Enhancements:
- The international dialing code has been changed from 09 to 00.
