Free web perl software for linux

Web Perl module contains a set of useful routines for many webworking purposes.

This module was primarily made for UNIX/Linux-Systems. Parts of it cannot be used on other systems. E.g. the procedures for file locking demand systems that can use symlinks. If you use the modul on systems where symlinks cannot be used, fatal errors may happen.

ABSTRACT

This perl module serves users with several useful routines for many purposes, like generating webpages, processing CGI scripts, working with XML datafiles and net-connections. It also uses own variants of routines, that was invented first in the famous libraries CGI.pm and cgi-lib.pl.

INSTALLATION

If you dont have sufficient privileges to install web.pm in the Perl library directory, you can put web.pm into some convenient spot, such as your home directory, or in cgi-bin itself and prefix all Perl scripts that call it with something along the lines of the following preamble:

use lib /home/myname/perl/lib;
use web;

NLock

This routine allows to set a filelock across NFS-boundaries. The common used perl-routine flock() fails at this point, so this routine is a useable alternative for bigger file-systems. It uses the modular functions link() and unlink() to mark a file locked. In addition to this, it also gives the locked file a counter: A file that is locked for more than $web::MAX_LOCKTIME seconds will be freed by the next process that calls NLock() on this file. A calling process gets either 0 or 1 as a return value, where 1 is returned if the file-locking was successful. 0 is returned only if the process waits for more than $web::MAX_WAITLOCK seconds or if symlink() fails.

Example 1:

$filename = "data.txt";
NLock($filename);
open(f1,"$filename");
# do something
close f1;
NUnlock($filename);

Example 2:

#!/local/bin/perl5
use web;

$stat= &NLock("jump.pl");
print "Lock: stat= $statn";
$stat= &NLock("jump.pl");
print "Lock this file again: stat= $statn";
sleep 8;
$stat= &NLock("jump.pl");
print "Lock this file again: stat= $statn";
$stat= &NUnlock("jump.pl");
print "Unlock: stat= $statn";
exit;

Facebook Perl has opened up an API to get access to some of the features of their site. Facebook Perl provides a Perl library to access this.
Enhancements:
- This is the first version written. It is currently being used on a (seemingly stable) site, albeit an incredibly simple one.
- There are no known bugs, and while it offers very little of an API, it is probably currently feature-complete (compared with equivalent libraries).

LibCVS Perl simplifies the job of writing tools around CVS by providing Perl libraries that programmers can access directly in their code.
Its current focus is libraries that use the cvsclient protocol to talk to a CVS server and are targetted at the development of client applications.
Libraries that understand the RCS file format and provide fast server-side access are a future possibility.
Enhancements:
- The ability to apply tags is now included.
- A new script, lcvs-tagbase, is included to apply a base tag to existing branches.

OpenGeDB Perl module is a module to access the OpenGeoDB database and calculate all ZIP codes in a certain radius.

Perlbug is a Perl module that contains PerlBug database specification.

Bug, and problem management, tracking system, written in perl.
Currently using Mysql, probably running on Linux with Apache.
For installation instructions see the INSTALL file.

SYNOPSIS

Note that the given addresses are configurable for individual sites, treat these examples of current usage as defaults.

New bugs are created by mailing perlbug@perl.org or perlbug@perl.com

Said bug is entered in the database, and given a new bugid, the mail is then forwarded to perl5-porters with the bugid in the subject line..

perl5-porters(p5p) is continously tracked for relevant mails to attach to said bug.

There are web(http://bugs.perl.org), email(bugdb@perl.org and help@bugs.perl.org), command line(bugdb) and Tk (bugtk) frontends to query and administrate the bugs. See scripts below.

Regular overviews are emailed to p5p, and outstanding bugs are mailed to active admins for their attention.

All modules have perldocs embedded, to browse at your leisure.

perl -MPerlbug::Base -e "print

Perlbug::Interface::Cmd->new()->object(bug)->read(19870502.007)->format(A)"

Web-FTP 1.5.x introduces Crytpo Card support, and also some support for connecting to MS ftp servers.

Crypto card support allows people to connect to ftp servers that use crypto card security. Lemme know if it works for you.

Web-FTP is a fully featured ftp client designed for secure file management when used in conjunction with an SSL enabled web server.

As a secondary function it can serve as an FTP client for users whos firewalls block FTP, since all communication is through the HTTP protocol.

Once you log in to Web-FTP it retains a session, which runs locally on your server, subsequent calls to the cgi (with the proper cookie) reconnect you to your session, therefore maintaining state.

Since everything passes through a cgi, if you put that CGI on a secure web-server you will have secure ftp (as long as the ftp is the same machine as the http server, or is behind a firewall).

mod_perl project brings together the full power of the Perl programming language and the Apache HTTP server. You can use Perl to manage Apache, respond to requests for web pages and much more.

mod_perl gives you a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web server. This lets you avoid the overhead of starting an external interpreter and avoids the penalty of Perl start-up time, giving you super-fast dynamic content.

As youd expect from the Perl community, there are hundreds of modules written for mod_perl, everything from persistent database connections, to templating sytems, to complete XML content delivery systems. Web sites like Slashdot and Wired Magazine use mod_perl.

mod_perl is an Apache Software Foundation project. It is licensed under the Apache Software License.

gtk2-perl project is the collective name for a set of perl bindings for Gtk+ 2.x and various related libraries. These modules make it easy to write Gtk and Gnome applications using a natural, perlish, object-oriented syntax.

This set of extension modules gives the Perl developer full access to the gtk+ widget set and several gnome libraries in a perlish, object-oriented way.

You can create new widgets and non-gui objects, and do just about anything you can do in C. We also include POD for every object (installed as manpages), and provide tools for binding other GObject-based libraries to Perl.
