Module submission PDFREP

2001-07-02 Thread Perl Authors Upload Server


The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

  modid:   PDFREP
  DSLIP:   Rdpfp
  description: PDF Report Writer / Creator
  userid:  TWIBBLER (Trevor Ward)
  chapterid:   23 (Miscellaneous_Modules)
  communities:
egroup PDFREP

  similar:

  rationale:

This module is named PDFREP for the reason it is designed to allow
the creation of business reports directly into a PDF file.

It allows for the creation of the PDF from any platform without
having to use any Adobe software and allows for text and images
(graphs etc) to be output. It works very much like a business report
where the columns are set by using a fixed font and outputting text
with fixed spaces.

It was developed for a large company who's business software is
developed using Intranet technologies and they wanted a reporting
tool which allowed for PDF files to be output from within another
perl program grabbing the data from Oracle.

PDFREP was born to run on Unix and NT.

2001-07-02 Thread Ward, Trevor (T.R.)

Hi

I have uploaded a file to my account TWIBBLER.

file id PDFREP-1.00.tar.gz.

This is a PDF report writer. I have also asked for a module namespace.

This email is to inform you of this and ask if there is anything else I have to do to 
have this module included in cpan.
(First module).

I believe that this module will be tested by various people. ? Will you let me know if 
there are problems or suggestions please.

Thank you.

developer account on CPAN

2001-07-02 Thread Sandor W. Sklar

Hello,

I would like to have a developer account created on CPAN, so I may 
make my recently-created module available to the public.

Name:  Sandor W. Sklar
E-mail:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Homepage:  http://whippet.stanford.edu/~ssklar/
CPAN User ID:  SSKLAR

My contributions to CPAN at this point will be modules relating to 
the AIX operating system; specifically, I have developed (and will be 
developing) modules that will be of use to AIX sysadmins.  The first 
module that I will be submitting is "AIX::SysInfo", which provides a 
perl interface to retrieving various bits of info about an AIX system.

Thanks, -s-

A few random things related to searching and scoring, about which

Fwd: Fwd: Log::Loglite requires Devel::DumpStack?

Hello,

Can someone please help me with this? The email of Jack Shirazi is no 
longer valid. Can someone update his modules? I attached the "fixes" that 
are needed (namely - a usual package with Makefile.PL, test.pl etc...). 

Thanks,

Missing Modules

Hi there. My CPAN id is SARGIE...

Two things:
1) Neither URI::Sequin or URI::Describe show up in the "Edit Module

2) I'm now the maintainer of Net::IRC

Sincerely.

Module submission Coro

2001-07-02 Thread Perl Authors Upload Server


The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

  modid:   Coro
  DSLIP:   adchp
  description: create an manage coroutines
  userid:  MLEHMANN (Marc Lehmann)
  chapterid:   20 (Control_Flow_Utilities)
  communities:

  similar:
Thread

  rationale:

This module implements very simple coroutines (very similar to the
modula-2 NEWPROCESS/TRANSFER model). Additional modules
(Coro::Process, Coro::Signal, Coro::Semaphore) provide more useful
abstractions and server as example implementations of process
synchroinzation techniques.

Unlike the thread module this module does not require a special
perl executable, not even -DMULTIPLICITY. It is very simple (as you
can tell by it's size) and can, due to it's low-level API, be used
to build very different things. Maybe someday it works together with
Event to get rid of Event's callbacks.

It's still in an early stage of development (just 4 hours old) but
is already used in a complex program where it linearizes the
aio-callbacks.

  enteredby:   MLEHMANN (Marc Lehmann)
  enteredon:   Tue Jul  3 04:02:04 2001 GMT

The resulting entry would be:

Coro  adchp create an manage coroutines  MLEHMANN

Something freudian tells me that (a) this will be much more doable in 
P6 and (b) 5.8 (i.e., stable) will have more capacity for it.  You might 
want to check the apocolypse or Damian's explinations -- if nothing
else you can try to design something likely to be compatable.

RFC: Logging used Perl Modules (was Re: API Design Question)

2001-07-02 Thread James G Smith

How would something like this do:

NAME

Apache::Use

SYNOPSIS

use Apache::Use (Logger => DB, File => "/www/apache/logs/modules");

DESCRIPTION

Apache::Use will record the modules used over the course of the 
Perl interpreter's lifetime.  If the logging module is able, the 
old logs are read and frequently used modules are automatically 
loaded.  Note that no symbols are imported into packages.

---

I really wish we had `use' as a function instead of a keyword and 
had an `immediate' property for subs (kindof a Forth thing).  
Then we could do reference counting of `use' and `require'.

If the above seems reasonable, I'll try to get a 0.01 out asap.  
Passing this by the modules list for comment also.  The current 
code I have does not actually depend on Apache and mod_perl.
