'edit modules' only knows about modules that have been registered
(i.e., stored in the database). Apparently, SlideShow and
Class::MethodMapper have not yet been entered in the database. 
If you send a DSLI entry for these modules, we can register them.
It's probably best to register WWW::SlideShow after it's renamed.

Tie::AliasHash

2001-03-16 Thread Aldo Calpini

Hello,

I haven't received any comment about my proposal for the
Tie::AliasHash module. I'm optimistic and assuming that
nobody have objections to it (instead of being pessimistic
and assuming that nobody actually read it :-).

the module is on its way to CPAN (version 1.00), these are
the relevant informations for the Module List, should someone
update it sooner or later:

Section: 6) Data Types and Data Type Utilities
Name:Tie::AliasHash
DSLI:Rdpr
Description: Hash with aliases key (multiple keys, one value)
Info:ACALPINI

cheers,
Aldo

Then you get incorrect data. Which is, perhaps, not the best way of doing
things, at least all the time. In certain circumstances, though--where both
users of the buffer have agreed upon a certain protocol--it's exactly what
you want. An example is Net::SSH::Perl, which is where this module
originally came from; I just thought it could have general purpose use, so I
broke it out. The idea with Net::SSH::Perl is that the client and server
both *know*--based on the type of the packet sent--what every buffer
contains, and in what order. That's part of the protocol.

So in that case, there's really no need for additional information. But I
can see that it might be nice, at certain times, for the buffer to "know"
what's inside of it.

I could introduce an optional feature that would fill the first couple of
bytes with information about the data contained in the rest of the buffer,
and in what order the data must be retrieved. And then perhaps a 'get_all'
method, which would read the buffer information bytes, then extract
*everything* out of the buffer and return it. Something like this, maybe:

my $buffer = Data::Buffer->new(info_header => 1);
$buffer->put_int32(39299);
$buffer->put_str("foo");

... later ...

my($int32, $str) = $buffer->get_all;

Thoughts?

Ben

I plan to contribute, initially, a module called ExceptionHandling.pm

This module has been available for over a year on my personal web site, and

Description of contribution : Date convert module

Extended descrption :

I created Date::MMDDYY to be able to do quick conversions of a epoch
time stamp into a MM-DD-YY format. Just feed the function datecon(); a
epoch time stamp, and it returns the date string. Examples for use would
be to create a list of dates from today, to 5 days ago .. Just keep on
subtracting 86400 from the current time(); and then just run datecon();
on the time .. Not sure if it is usefull for anyone else, but I have had
to use it all the time, as our developers love putting s MM-DD-YY
timestamp on alot of logs files ..
