Net::ParseWhois
Hello, I've created (and finally uploaded) Net::ParseWhois. It's a logical update of Net::Whois that adds support for whois referrals. For background, please see any of the following: http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=44070&lastnode_id=44898 http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=44898&lastnode_id=864 http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules/2000-11/msg00179.html Please add Net::ParseWhois to the official module list, or let me know what remains to be done before that can happen. Thanks! Abe

[RFC2410] Crypt::NULL
I'd like to upload Crypt::NULL (README appended), a module implementing NULL encryption as described in RFC 2410, to the CPAN. Please suggest an alternative name is Crypt::NULL is unsuitable. modid: Crypt::NULL DSLI:RdpO description: NULL Encryption Algorithm userid: AMS (Abhijit Menon-Sen) chapterid: 14 (Security_and_Encryption) - ams NAME Crypt::NULL - NULL Encryption Algorithm SYNOPSIS use Crypt::NULL; $null = Crypt::NULL->new($key); $ciphertext = $null->encrypt($plaintext); $plaintext = $null->decrypt($ciphertext); DESCRIPTION The NULL Encryption Algorithm is a symmetric block cipher described in RFC 2410 by Rob Glenn and Stephen Kent. This module implements NULL encryption. It supports the Crypt::CBC interface, with the following functions. Functions blocksize Returns the size (in bytes) of the block (16, in this case). keysize Returns the size (in bytes) of the key (16, in this case). new($key, $rounds) This creates a new Crypt::NULL object with the specified key. encrypt($data) Encrypts blocksize() bytes of $data and returns the corresponding ciphertext. decrypt($data) Decrypts blocksize() bytes of $data and returns the corresponding plaintext.

Set::Crontab
The Set::Crontab module is on the CPAN, but is not in the module list. Could somebody please add it? modid: Set::Crontab DSLI:bdph description: Expand crontab(5)-style integer lists userid: AMS (Abhijit Menon-Sen) - ams
new module: ExtUtils::FakeConfig
This module is meant to be used at Makefile.PL time ( so I think it belongs to ExtUtils ); it makes easy to override values in %Config; basically you create a module like this: package Foo; use ExtUtils::FakeConfig cc => 'my_cc', cflags => 'funny flags'; 1; and do perl -MFoo Makefile.PL I use it to compile ActivePerl modules with MinGW, but it has many other uses, especially if you want to compile modules with a different cc your Perl was compiled with. I don't plan to put it in CPAN ( yet ), just want comments about the name. Regards Mattia
Renaming Net::SNMP::Interfaces
Hi, I'd like to kick off a discussion of what the above module should be renamed to :) In my earlier discussion with David we had decided that it probably should be something like SNMP::NetSNMP::ifTable which naturally suggested itself because it used Net::SNMP and it was felt that leaving it under Net::SNMP interfered somewhat with David's ability to add new things in that namespace. Now however I have concluded that the next release of the module will have the capability of using either Net::SNMP or SNMP at the users request (or whichever one is available ) and that has somewhat complicated the naming in my mind as SNMP::NetSNMP would imply something that would no longer be true. Of course I could shift the proposed name up to be SNMP::IfTable but that might interfere with someone elses plans and none of the existing sub-namespaces seem to fit the bill. Any suggestions gratefully received :) /J\
