Name: David L. Leigh Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Preferred ID: DLEIGH I would like to contribute a collection of modules which provide a unified interface for accessing addressbook entries stored in various type of databases (e.g. LDAP, LDIF, BBDB, PalmOS, SQL Databases, etc...). The modules use the following namespace: AddressBook AddressBook::Entry AddressBook::Config AddressBook::DB::LDAP AddressBook::DB::LDIF AddressBook::DB::PDB AddressBook::DB::DBI AddressBook::DB::Text AddressBook::DB::HTML Another developer on this project, Mark Hershberger, previously sent a note requesting the AddressBook:: namespace (http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules/2000-08/msg00071.html), and we have heard no objections. We have contacted the owner of an "AddressBook.pm" module which is part of the PostScript-MailLabels distribution, but have heard no response. AddressBook ModuleList info: DSLI = "RmpO" (released, mailinglist support, perl only, object-oriented) Description= "Unified Address Book Interface" This project (also known as perl-abook) has a home page: http://perl-abook.sourceforge.net. On that page is a link to archives of the perl-abook-tech mailing list, where much of the design was discussed. The original idea for this project came out of discussions on the ldap-abook-tech mailing list (archived at http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=ldap-abook-tech) about the need for a unified Address Book interface. Documentation for all of the perl-abook modules is available at http://perl-abook.sourceforge.net Thank you very much, David Leigh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
