Inline-Support is a Perl module created to support information for Inline.pm and related modules.
This document contains all of the latest support information for Inline.pm and the recognized Inline Language Support Modules (ILSMs) available on CPAN.
SUPPORTED LANGUAGES
The most important language that Inline supports is C. That is because Perl itself is written in C. By giving a your Perl scripts access to C, you in effect give them access to the entire glorious internals of Perl.
As of this writing, Inline also supports:
- C++
- Java
- Python
- Tcl
- Assembly
- CPR
- And even Inline::Foo!
Projects that I would most like to see happen in the year 2001 are:
- Fortran
- Ruby
- Lisp
- Guile
- Bash
- Perl4
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
Inline::C should work anywhere that CPAN extension modules (those that use XS) can be installed, using the typical install format of:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
It has been tested on many Unix and Windows variants.
Enhancements:
- Perl

Archie project is a complete live Arch linux system (v0.7) to be run from a cd/usb, built with the KISS philosophy in mind. No packages have been stripped to provide a full Arch linux system, yet deliver fastest performance with no extensive bloating.
Archie uses its own hw-detection tool (lshwd) ideally to support a wide range of hardware with low detection time. Archie also provides extended features like multi-lingual, nesting capabilities and hd-install.
Main features:
- KISS
- Performance, performance, performance
- Unique hw-detection tool (lshwd)
- Automatic desktop/optional startup dialogs
- nesting root (/) or home (/home) directories
- hd-install

ArchLog is a log-oriented GUI for the Arch revision control system. ArchLog allows you to take notes as you hack, structuring the changes by categories. At commit time, ArchLog will generate a consistently and nicely-formatted log file.

It features assigning new versions to a project tree, adding/removing files for a project, packing a project into archives (tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar, zip), a todo manager with categorized tasks, global or per-project preferences, TODO file generation, and full customization from the GUI.

Af-Arch is being developed to give GNU/Linux a new middle-ware for building enterprise managing applications, typically database oriented.
Af-Arch is a complete set of libraries and tools which allows to develop distribuited system especially designed to face problems about bussiness applications.
Actually, Af-Arch is really robust and stable, having systems installed on many environments. Af-Arch, at this moment, runs on GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows.
AF Architectures license schema is based on GPL and LGPL, allowing you to develop not only open source applications but also comercial applications without any royalty or fee.
Af-Arch is a strongly documented project, which is proved to work. Af-Arch keeps on evolving and growing its feature list allways keeping in mind productivity.
Enhancements:
- A new major stable release have come with many interesting features, library dependencies news, new API to make life easy and a bunch of work to make the library to be memory efficient.
- Af-Arch no longer depends on GDA library (http://www.gnome-db.org). Now AfGs, server side support for Af-Arch, includes built-in database abstraction support, implemented to fit better with the Af-Arch framework. For more details check the "libafgs" log below.
- Af-Arch platform now support three new return types: AfDalNodeData, AfDalStringData and AfDalDecimalData, which allows services to return a module node, a plain string and a decimal value as a result for the invocation.
- Af-Arch now support a new formal parameter service AfDalSetOf which implements set of items to be sent while the service is invoked.
- af-gen tool now support defining string literals that are separated by "+" sign, making it easy to write long SQL sentences.
- af-gen tool now allow to generate type definitions that could extend, making it possible to create a class hierarchy for types to be returned by services.
- libafdal core library now implements a better error reporting mechanism which allows to receive all errors generated while performing invocation at the reply process code.
- New reserved services have been added: element_peek_reference which allows to get the node associated to a module which is relationed through the 0..1 link.

PacKommander is a GUI wrapper for the pacman package manager of Arch Linux.
It is my very first Kommander script; but it does the job pretty well. Use it to install, upgrade, search, remove, query packages (local or repository) as well as synchronize database, upgrade system and clear file cache.
Main features:
- Quite light-weight and fast.
- Can perform almost all the tasks that CLI pacman can do. This includes install /upgrade /remove /query /view details /search packages both from server repositories as well as local packages in hard disk.
- Can be (in fact, must be) started as normal user to perform non-admin tasks like search/query pacakges. Root privilege is sought for automatically (using gksudo) as and when required (e.g. to install/remove packages).
- Can handle multiple packages at a time using a Package Queue system. Essentially, a list of queued packages is shown (packages can be added/removed from queue), from where you can select and manipulate multiple packages.
- Certain tasks like Upgrading entire system, syncing database with server, clearing cache, optimizing pacman, etc can be done by a click of a button.
- Hand-editing of certain configuration files is also supported using nano editor in xterm.
- Every task is actually carried out by pacman. The progress can be seen in the external xterm window and the user has to interact with it limitedly (for confirmations, etc.)
- The UI is fully configurable using Kommander-editor.

Slax Tools project are graphical applications that simplify process of generating custom version of live distribution Slax.
Slax Konfigurator is QT application that guides user through downloading Slax ISO image, management of modules, management of custom documents and bootloader configuration. Modified ISO can be installed on USB pen drive or recorded on CD. Slax Konfigurator requires QT, kdesu, sudo, cdrecord or wodim
Slax Module Kreator converts RPM (Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva), DEB (Debian, Ubuntu), TAR.GZ (Arch Linux) and TGZ (Slackware, KateOS) binary packages into Slax modules. Slax Module Kreator depends on KDE 3.5, mksquashfs and rpm2cpio (RPM only), dpkg (DEB only) and tar (TAR.GZ and TGZ only).
Enhancements:
- Slax Konfigurator - now you can test generated ISO image in QEmu before burning (obviously, QEmu is required for that)
- Slax Module Kreator - it is possible to output modules into selected shared directory instead of creating them in source directory
- various bug fixes

Crossfire TRT project is an advancement of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability, but also adds modern technology such as map scripting, Perl server extensions, asynchronous I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better client support.
Main features:
- Death is not permanent, and you can get back all lost stats and experience by playing a game in a special place named Nimbus. You are teleported there when you die and you have to play a game (currently minesweeper) to get out.
- Friendly fire is disabled and playerkilling is also modified. You can only kill another player when you and the other player are hostile. To become hostile, you have to visit the church of Gorokh in Scorn and talk to the priest. To become peaceful again, visit the curch of Valriel and talk to its priest.
- Invitation of other players to where you are is possible with the invite command. You have to solve the invitor quest (see below in maps) to be able to use the command.
- You can follow other players with the follow command when you stand next to the player you want to follow.
- Pet monsters and summoned creatures will not stand in the way of other party members, making it bearable to play with summoning skills in a party.
- Map and graphics artists are working on improved graphics and new maps and quests.
- A new currency: the Royalty. Its worth 100 Platinum and is made of paper. (The bank script was completly rewritten in Perl)
- The communication commands have been rewritten in Perl and an ignore command was added.
- Trade shops have been implemented in Perl, which allows the player to trade items when they are offline.
- Big 64x64 faces and tiles have been introduced, which have a higher detail level than the old 32x32 tiles, and can be used with the CFPlus client.
Enhancements:
- optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions).
- complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes one of the remaining syncpoints in the server).
- complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged attacks.
- introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as needed.
- rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill so its damage increases with level.
- rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts.
- implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map installation, replacing the old collect scripts and simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required.
- simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely.
- implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from other archetypes.
- rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously.
- make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) reloadable at runtime.
- implement 64x64 faceset support.
- implement fxixsx protocol that saves a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background transfers.
- implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis.
- the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full freedom of movement.
- implement new ex command to request item descriptions.
- implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta information (using xml).
- enforce utf-8 for all text messages.
- added micropather (not used yet).
- many, many bugfixes.
