Answer 1: This module is useful for cross-platform coding, and in environments like shared hosting where you actually didnt install the database yourself and are curious.
Test::Version 0.02
Test::Version is a Perl module that has the role to check for VERSION information in modules. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Version;
plan tests => $num_tests;
version_ok( $file );
FUNCTIONS
version_ok( FILENAME, [EXPECTED, [NAME] ] )
version_ok requires a filename and returns one of the three values:
NO_FILE Could not find the file
NO_VERSION File had no VERSION information
VERSION_OK VERSION information exists
version_ok okays a test without an expected result if it finds VERSION information, or if an expected result is specified and it finds that condition. For instance, if you know there is no VERSION information,
version_ok( $file, NO_VERSION );
When it fails, version_ok will show error information.
The optional third argument NAME is the name of the test which version_ok passes through to Test::Builder. Otherwise, it choose a default test name "VERSION test for FILENAME".
Sort::Versions 1.5
Sort::Versions is a Perl 5 module for sorting of revision-like numbers. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use Sort::Versions;
@l = sort { versioncmp($a, $b) } qw( 1.2 1.2.0 1.2a.0 1.2.a 1.a 02.a );
...
use Sort::Versions;
print lower if versioncmp(1.2, 1.2a) == -1;
...
use Sort::Versions;
%h = (1 => d, 2 => c, 3 => b, 4 => a);
@h = sort { versioncmp($h{$a}, $h{$b}) } keys %h;
Sort::Versions allows easy sorting of mixed non-numeric and numeric strings, like the version numbers that many shared library systems and revision control packages use. This is quite useful if you are trying to deal with shared libraries. It can also be applied to applications that intersperse variable-width numeric fields within text. Other applications can undoubtedly be found.
For an explanation of the algorithm, its simplest to look at these examples:
1.1 < 1.2
1.1a < 1.2
1.1 < 1.1.1
1.1 < 1.1a
1.1.a < 1.1a
1 < a
a < b
1 < 2
1.1-3 < 1.1-4
1.1-5 < 1.1.6
More precisely (but less comprehensibly), the two strings are treated as subunits delimited by periods or hyphens. Each subunit can contain any number of groups of digits or non-digits. If digit groups are being compared on both sides, a numeric comparison is used, otherwise a ASCII ordering is used. A group or subgroup with more units will win if all comparisons are equal. A period binds digit groups together more tightly than a hyphen.
Some packages use a different style of version numbering: a simple real number written as a decimal. Sort::Versions has limited support for this style: when comparing two subunits which are both digit groups, if either subunit has a leading zero, then both are treated like digits after a decimal point. So for example:
0002 < 1
1.06 < 1.5
This wont always work, because there wont always be a leading zero in real-number style version numbers. There is no way for Sort::Versions to know which style was intended. But a lot of the time it will do the right thing. If you are making up version numbers, the style with (possibly) more than one dot is the style to use.
USAGE
The function versioncmp() takes two arguments and compares them like cmp. With perl 5.6 or later, you can also use this function directly in sorting:
@l = sort versioncmp qw(1.1 1.2 1.0.3);
The function versions() can be used directly as a sort function even on perl 5.005 and earlier, but its use is deprecated.

list Module::Versions(*DBIMPORT, %s|%s|%s);
# prints individually formatted
# results to Database Import file
list Module::Versions(*FD, SCALAR);# prints text list results to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, CSV); # prints csv list results to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, XML); # prints xml struct results to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, XSD); # prints xml schema to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, DTD); # prints DTD to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, ARRAY); # prints serialized results to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, HASH); # prints serialized results to file
Module::Versions->list(*LOG); # prints formatted results to LOG
# Pretty Compact
Module::Versions->list # prints formatted results on STDOUT
->list(*XML,XML); # prints xml struct results to XML file
Module::Versions->list # prints formatted results on STDOUT
->list(*XSD,XSD) # prints xml schema to XSD file

Module::Versions->list # prints formatted results on STDOUT
->list(*DTD,DTD) # prints DTD to DTD file
->list(*XML,XML); # prints xml struct results to XML file
Module::Versions handles versions of loaded modules with a flexible result interface. The main goal is to get as much version informations as possible about a module or module list with a simple call interface and an absolutely flexible result interface. Module::Versions handles *loaded* and *loadable* modules.
The motivation for writing this module was the need for better support facilities to get informations about the used modules and versions in the productivity environment. Module::Versions allows shipping applications basically with something like a -version option (See Getopt::Long) but with expanded functions.
Module::Versions tries to read the loaded/loadable modules $VERSION. For extended purposes any private project version variables can be fetched ($_VERSION, $version, $REV, etc.).
Module::Versions has a flexible result interface to satisfy different needs: results can be lists and data structures with different formats - pre-formed ARRAY, HASH, SCALAR, CSV, XML/XSD/DTD and a full flexible user callback interface.
It is for example very simple to print a good formatted version list to the console and save a version.xml file (in conjunction with an xsd-schema) at the same time with an absolutely minimum of coding (SYNOPSIS, Pretty Compact) .
Module::Versions tries to load version.pm to support Perl 5.10.0s $VERSION formatting.

Program Version Switch 1.03
Program Version Switch is a program to easily switch between different interpreter versions. more>>
Its flexibility is intended for people who need to run programs against different interpreter versions.
But it can also be used for different purposes like switching the version of a compiler, text editor, mail reader, browser, whatever.
It is most useful for developers of interpreter based programs which are started via a hash-bang line (#!).
The following example explains the usage for perl programs, but the very same is true for all other interpreter languages.
If you install two or more different perl versions on your machine, you could just call the respective perl binary you want to use..
perl myscript.pl
/path/to/another/perl myscript.pl
This works fine, although it isnt very convenient. However if you are starting your program using the hash-bang line like
#! /usr/bin/perl
and then just start it by
./myscript.pl
you would need to change the file itself to use another perl version. Again it is possible, but not very convenient.
And here comes pvswitch: its purpose is to make such situations convenient. Further it solve some problems which come up if multiple people want to use different perl versions. pvswitch allows even to run one program in two shells with different perl versions.
This is possible because pvswitch uses a environment variable to select the interpreter version to use. This environment variable can be set in different sessions independently.
pvswitch is installed as new program binary (e.g. perl) the old one will be renamed to program.pvswitch.
Now every time you execute a this program (e.g. perl), pvswitch is executed. It doesnt matter how you start the program...
perl myscript.pl
./myscript.pl # if it has a hash-bang #! /usr/bin/perl
for both cases the pvswitch binary will be executed, pvswitch will than check for the environment variable PVSWITCH_PERL_BINARY (if you are running perl), if it is found it tries to find this key in the configuration file pvswitch.conf and execute the program which is configured for the version configured set in the environment variable (e.g. perl.pvswitch).
So it just executes the real program (e.g. perl interpreter). Depending on the environment a different version might be selected.
There are some convenient tools (e.g. perlver, pvconfig) to configure this.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug which could cause segmentation violation.
Raw Print Server 1.0
Raw Print Server is a raw print server. more>>
This software would not exist without Sam Rushings excellent asyncore module, nor would it exist without Steve Holdens excellent explanation of that module (in his book "Python Web Programming" from New Riders, a truly outstanding book that I cant recommend enough) from which I learned enough to write this server. Im also indebted to Guido van Rossum for Python itself, which has made my life SO much easier, and to Mark Hammond for the win32all modules which are essential parts of the Windows version of the print server.
This is version 0.1 of the Raw Print Server. There are no installation instructions to speak of; I plan to write an install script to assist with getting the software up and running, but for now its all manual.
You will need a working Python 2.x system to run the print server itself, and if you are installing on Windows youll need a working set of the win32all modules from Mark Hammond (which you really ought to have anyway). To run the GUI properties program, youll need a working PyGTK module set, and on Windows that means finding a compatible GTK+ runtime also.
Finding all of the above is left as an exercise for the reader.
Okay. If you are on a recent Linux system, or any of the BSD family, you should be able to install all of the above from your original installation media, or download them from the appropriate website for your distribution.
If you are running Windows, start by getting a recent Python build from www.python.org; follow the links from that site to the win32all downloads (currently somewhere on Sourceforge).
After that, go to www.pygtk.org and follow their links to the downloads you need for Windows. Note that as of this time (October 2005), the GTK libraries normally used for the Gimp dont work with PyGTK (despite notes on the PyGTK for Windows site saying that they do), at least, not on Win9x.
Get the runtime or development libraries referenced from the PyGTK for Windows site. If you already have the Gimp installed, uninstall the GTK+ libraries you got with it before installing the alternate runtime. My Gimp still works, so it must be okay, right?
Enhancements:
- close printer when done

A Simple Version Control System 0.9.6
A Simple Version Control System is an easy to install and easy to to use version/revision control system. more>>
ASVCS differs from most other version control systems in that ASVCS is designed to keep track of files in place. ASVCS does not allow any changes to be made to files, all changes require the users to change files externally with FTP or SSH access.
ASVCS is very easy to setup and use. Users do not need to work with repository, branches, commit and check-out files. All a user needs to do is upload the changes files and click Update or if enabled just wait for it to be updated automatically.
ASVCS is ideal for small projects or personal use, though it can also be used by large project how do not need or want the complexity of most version control systems.
Main features:
- asy to install and use
- Written in PHP
- Can track binary or text files
- Automatic file tracking (requires cron support)
- Diffs of revisions
- Easy user access management
- Entirely Web based
- Skinable
- Open source (MIT/expat license)

If there is a mine, the game ends (lose).
If all empty squares are uncovered, the game ends (win).
Otherwise the game continues. Set the square to FLAGGED.
UNCOVERED
Nothing if the number of flags in adjacent squares equals the number in the uncovered square
UNCOVER adjacent covered squares
else
temporarily highlight adjacent covered squares
FLAGGED
Nothing Set the square to QUESTIONED.
QUESTIONED
Nothing Set the square to COVERED.
settevion 1.4.1
settevion is a program that allows you to edit the channels in your Skymaster DXL 9400 Satellite Receiver. more>>
This receiver was sold under the name Tevion FTA 203 by Aldi. Note that the current version does not allow writing radio channels into the receiver. Also note: This program makes use of undocumented behaviour. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. There is no guarantee, even not against possible damage to your equipment. The program is free for personal, non-commercial use. Commercial use and copying (even at no cost) requires written permission. There are only german instructions provided, but Id not expect many problems for non-german speaking users since the programs dialog language is english.
Download settevion-x.x.x.tar.gz for Linux or settevion-win-x.x.x.zip for Windows. See the "Download" section below. For Linux, you must have Python installed (at least version 2.2) and Tkinter, which might be in a separate package. They are part of your distribution. Unpack the .tar.gz and do a "make install". The Windows version comes with its Python interpreter integrated into settevion.exe. Just unpack the zip file. For both versions, connect the receiver with a null modem cable and start settevion. Choose "Edit->Preferences" to select your serial device. Then choose "Receiver->Read data from receiver". This should be enough to make this run.
Enhancements:
- settevion.py: getDBPRINT: added code to read in SER data entry by entry since firmware version 2.12 doesnt dump the SER data base any more. satIO.read() changed to ignore asynchronous error messages ("trashlog") if they are one a line of their own. Warning message added if Python is called with -O and one of the debugging (-v) command line options is set. Version 1.4.1.
FindIt NIX 1.0.2
FindIt NIX project is a clone of a great find-the-difference game. more>>
FindItNIX is a clone of the Windows game FindItXP. The goal is to spot the 5 differences between 2 images within a certain amount of time. The quicker you find them, the higher the bonus will be.
FindItNIX features high scores compatible with those of the Windows version and over 1200 levels available on the Internet.
Enhancements:
- Implemented hack in Makefile so the program links to the libqt-2.x.x.so in stead of the 3.x libraries which cause an unknown problem. Until I fixed this, and qt-2.x.x is
- still on your system you wont have any problems compiling nymore.
- Some minor documentation updates.
