I am interested in submitting some of my work to CPAN; at this time I have one module packaged and documented for submission. Thus, my request/information is provided herein.
Name: Ralph Padron Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Preferred user ID for CPAN: WHOELSE Reasons: Initially, I've documented an old routine I wrote to find the "longitudinal redundancy check" (LRC) of a string. LRC is a one byte character commonly used as a check-byte-field in data transmissions that are line-by-line and enclosed in STX-ETX characters. I've used this in transmitting analog modem data as well as sometimes TCP socket transmission for financial protocols that are currently in use (credit card, debit card, check and other electronic payments: list of current users undisclosed). I've found no module on CPAN that would provide the LRC of a string and although the routine is a fairly simple loop mechanism, a pre-existing module may help other authors not have to research the algorithm in any books. I expect that I will be able to document some of my existing code and package this in subsequent modules related to error-detection for data transmission, financial protocols, or whatever else I manage to find on my old hard drives.
