Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2002-11-24 Severity: wishlist * Package name : libnet-easytcp-perl Version : 0.17 Upstream Author : Mina Naguib, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/author/MNAGUIB/EasyTCP-0.16/ * License : Perl license Description : Easily create secure, bandwidth-friendly TCP/IP clients and servers
- One easy module to create both clients and servers - Object Oriented interface - Event-based callbacks in server mode - Internal protocol to take care of all the common transport problems - Transparent encryption - Transparent compression This class allows you to easily create TCP/IP clients and servers and provides an OO interface to manage the connection(s). This allows you to concentrate on the application rather than on the transport. You still have to engineer your high-level protocol. For example, if you're writing an SMTP client-server pair, you will have to teach your client to send "HELO" when it connects, and you will have to teach your server what to do once it receives the "HELO" command, and so forth. What you won't have to do is worry about how the command will get there, about line termination, about binary data, complex-structure serialization, encryption, compression, or about fragmented packets on the received end. All of these will be taken care of by this class. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
