a description of what you're planning to contribute

dbfileutil.pl Ver 1.0


Export/Import between DB_File and SDBM_File
from Windows and Unix platforms

SDBM_Files can be ftp'ed across Unix/Windows
platforms and work without a hitch. (.pag and
.dir files).  DB_Files CANT be ftp'ed across
platform.  (something to do with edian)
I like to use DB_File instead of SDBM_File
This util will export a DB_File to SDBM_Files
for you to ftp.  Then you can import the
files (after ftping) to autoconvert to DB_File
at destination workstation using this same
util.  You can also clean up the SDBM_Files
after you are done ftping (source side) and
done importing (destination side)
This same code will work on the unix or win
side.  NOTE: be sure DB_File has less than
1024 bytes per entry, or it wont fit into a
SDBM_File (unless you recompile the SDBM_File
to support bigger buckets.

I have tons of perl stuff.  I'll try to contribute
soon as I get an id.  check this out...

OpenGL module

2000-07-31 Thread James P. Edwards

Hi,

About two weeks ago I sent the following e-mail, I should have included
this address but didn't.  Please note that Kenneth Albanowski (KJALB)
who is the apparent owner of the OpenGL module has not thus far
responded, and that I have been pursuing option 2 outlined below.  I
will soon (in the next week or two) have a new OpenGL module which will
be part of the PDL module distribution,  I would like to have a README
placed in the OpenGL directory on CPAN pointing interested parties to
the proper location for newer OpenGL development, (ie the PDL
module).

Thanks,
Jim

Vital Stats:

name: Sean Dague
email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
www: http://dague.net/sean

prefered cpan uid: sdague

I am reworking a newmail script that runs against procmail generated mail
files to list out vital stats about the mail files.  (i.e. Read, Seen,
Answered).  Most of the current mail parser modules are a little too heavy
weight to run in .login file and still finish quickly.  So I am making a
module optimized for speed, with just enough functionality to get the job
done.

I think the module name Mail::Stats works well, and does not seem to be
used.  

The current nonmodule script is being passed arround ammoung coworkers and
friends at the moment, and hopefully with the more configurable Module
version I am working on, even more people will find it useful.

Thanks for your time,

-Sean

developer application

2000-07-31 Thread Andrew Maltsev

Hi!

As per FAQ recommendation :) - "is there anybody who reads this
list?"

Seriously:

name: Andrew Maltsev
email:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
url:  http://amsoft.ru/
user id:  AMALTSEV
plans:I'm planning to put perl interface to APPGEN database to
  CPAN. Probably I'll also make some kind of OO wrapper for this
  interface later.
  Time permitting I'm also planning to add some modules
  for e-commerce from time to time - we're working on open
  source e-commerce suite here :)
dsli: bdcf

I would also like your opinion on DB::Appgen as a module name. It
seems that it fits well into current namespace, but if you have
better ideas I'm all ears.

Thanx for your quick response! :)

Andrew.
