We should probably start a Syndication::* namespace for OCS, RSS, ICE and CDF. Probably could do with some feedback from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] group though...

register to CPAN
Hi, I would like to register as new CPAN user to upload a module called "GPG", which is an interface to gnupg. I know there is already two other such interfaces for gnupg (GnuPG.pm and GnuPG::Interface), but they are heavy to use and extend, have a lot of bug (and I get no feedback from one author), and input/output are possible only throw filehandle (or, crazy, GnuPG work only with filename...). My own GPG work with standard $string. Actual version number is 0.01, but only because that's the first public release, it work fine for me on different systems. Name : Philippe Froidevaux email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or) [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage : none. user-ID on CPAN : MILES (or PFRO if MILES is already used) module description DSLI : RdpO -- Interface to gnupg. Category : GnuPG (like GnuPG.pm or GnuPG::Interface) PGP cryptography This module has never been discussed on newsgroup or mailing-list, but that's not my first Perl module (it uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker for installation and test, has a POD description included, and a little example). If needed, I will set a public CVS tree on sourceforge to help maintain GPG. Thanks ! Philippe.
Qtk::QuickTk uploaded. Request Module List entry
I have seen no responses to my request for comments on July 5, (see the archive message referenced above) regarding choice of the following namespace for my module: Qtk::QuickTk so I assume it is judged adequate. I hope to add other modules in this vein to the Qtk:: namespace. I've uploaded version 0.88 of this module today, and would like the following entry for it in the Module List: NameDSLI Description Info -- - Qtk:: ::QuickTk bdpO Simpler GUI building, using perl-tk (Tk.pm) JNK (John Kirk) D - Development Stage (Note: *NO IMPLIED TIMESCALES*): a/b - Alpha/Beta testing S - Support Level: d - Developer L - Language Used: p - Perl-only, no compiler needed, should be platform independent I - Interface Style O - Object oriented using blessed references and/or inheritance

PAUSE registration request
I am writing to request registration in PAUSE. name: Michael Ernst email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/mernst/ preferred user-ID: MERNST potential modules: (I'm proposing these because a user suggested they should be put in CPAN for others to find and use. I may wish to add more of my modules in the future.) C::ScanLine Rdpf Approximate parsing of unpreprocessed C code http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/mernst/software/#cline This differs from C::Scan in that it returns lines of text rather than a representation of a C file, it works on unpreprocessed C code, and is intended to be robust against non-syntactic C code. Carp::CheckNumArgs Mdpf Check number of args in function calls http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/mernst/software/#checkargs This automatically flags my most common mistake, passing the wrong number of arguments to a routine. I realize there is already a Carp::CheckArgs, but it isn't linked from CPAN and my searches for it turned up empty. Does anyone know where to find it? -Michael Ernst [EMAIL PROTECTED]

need registration for 15 libdwg modules
This message follows up on others regarding namespace registration requests. My author name is DUNCAND. I have now uploaded my first distribution to PAUSE, libdwg-1.0, and these modules are in it: Name DSLI Description -- Class::ParamParser - bdpO - complex parameter parsing for subclass methods HTML::TagMaker - bdpO - make single,groups of HTML tags, head/footers HTML::FormMaker- bdpO - predefined persistant forms, reports, validate CGI::HashOfArrays - bdpO - data (text,bin) store/parse/url-encode, subset CGI::SequentialFile- bdpO - store prefs,logs from HoAs/hash as k=v text file CGI::EventCountFile- bdpO - for storing event counts and dates (usage) CGI::WPM::Content - bdpO - store/assemble web page parts, search and replace CGI::WPM::Base - cdpO - defines API for WPM modules, stores local prefs CGI::WPM::Globals - cdpO - stores/parses web site globals, utils, user input CGI::WPM::Main - cdpO - init program, track usage, e-mail to owner CGI::WPM::Static - cdpO - wpm for displaying static html pages CGI::WPM::MailForm - cdpO - wpm for implementing private e-mail forms CGI::WPM::GuestBook- cdpO - wpm for implementing a complete guest book CGI::WPM::SegTextDoc - cdpO - wpm displays static single/multipart text pages CGI::WPM::MultiPage- cdpO - wpm resolves nav in page hierarchy, makes menus I'm not sure that the brief descriptions shown here are for the best. To make it easier for yourselves to judge, I have included the full-sentence descriptions for each module below. Having more space to work in, they sound much better. If you have ideas for more descriptive "Descriptions": Class::ParamParser 1.0b -- Perl module that provides complex parameter list parsing for subclass methods. HTML::TagMaker 1.0b -- HTML::TagMaker -- Perl module that can create any HTML tags, as well as groups of or just parts of them, and complete html headers or footers. HTML::FormMaker 1.0b -- Perl module that maintains a predefined html input form definition with which it can generate form html, complete with persistant and error-checked user input, as well as formatted reports of the user input in html or plain text. CGI::HashOfArrays 1.0b -- Perl module that implements a hash whose keys can have either single or multiple values, and which can process url-encoded data. CGI::SequentialFile 1.0b -- Perl module that interfaces to a common text file format which stores records as named and url-escaped key=value pairs. CGI::EventCountFile 1.0b -- Perl module that interfaces to a tab-delimited text file for storing date-bounded counts of occurances for multiple events, such as web page views. CGI::WPM::Content 1.0b -- Perl module that stores and assembles components of a new web page, including HTTP headers, and it is returned by all subclasses of CGI::WPM::Base. CGI::WPM::Base 0.1b -- Perl module that defines the API for subclasses, which are miniature applications called "web page makers", and provides them with a hierarchical environment that handles details for obtaining program settings, resolving file system or web site contexts, obtaining user input, and sending new web pages to the user. CGI::WPM::Globals 0.1b -- Perl module that is used by all subclasses of CGI::WPM::Base for managing global program settings, file system and web site hierarchy contexts, providing environment details, gathering and managing user input, and providing utilities like sending e-mail. CGI::WPM::Main 0.1b -- Perl module that implements a simple "main program" which will agnostically run any subclass of CGI::WPM::Base, print out its return value, initialize program globals, track site usage details, and e-mail backups of usage counts to the site owner. CGI::WPM::Static 0.1b -- Perl module that is a subclass of CGI::WPM::Base and displays a static HTML page. CGI::WPM::MailForm 0.1b -- Perl module that is a subclass of CGI::WPM::Base and implements a private e-mail form. CGI::WPM::GuestBook 0.1b -- Perl module that is a subclass of CGI::WPM::Base and implements a complete guest book. CGI::WPM::SegTextDoc 0.1b -- Perl module that is a subclass of CGI::WPM::Base and displays a static text page, which can be in multiple segments. CGI::WPM::MultiPage 0.1b -- Perl module that is a subclass of CGI::WPM::Base and resolves navigation for one level in the web site page hierarchy from a parent node to its children, encapsulates and returns its childrens' returned web page components, and can make a navigation bar to child pages. Thanks for everything, // Darren Duncan
Proposal to change maintainer of AltaVista::SearchSDK
Hi everybody, I'd like to volunteer (PAUSE id: SHARI) as maintainer of the AltaVista::SearchSDK module. I have been actively using it for the last two years and the original author, James Turner, is willing to pass the task over. I am currently updating the Makefile.PL and some of the interface code in the .xs to deal with the 3.0 version of the AltaVista Search SDK product, recently released. You won't be apparently able to contact James Turner at the old address as registered for the JTURNER id; I will gladly give you his new address but I'd much rather not do this on the public list as I've not asked him permission to redistribute it. Have a nice day, Davide Davide Migliavacca - Inferentia, Milano IT Phone +39 02599281 Fax +39 0259928221 -- My opinions cannot be attributed to - -- Inferentia without explicit permission --
