CPAN Registration
Howdy! Have written a couple of perl modules I'd like to contribute to the archive. Here's my registration info: Name: Chris Fuhrman E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.pobox.com/~cfuhrman User-ID: cfuhrman I am planning on contributing two modules. One is a module for interfacing with printer daemons that use BSD-style lpd daemon. The second is module that communicates to HylaFAX servers using the new FTP-based client/server protocol. DLSI LinePrinter- bdpO Hylafax- adpO LinePrinter is a module that allows the perlmonger to submit print jobs to a BSD-style line printer as well as request status information from the remote print server. Hylafax is a module that allows the perlmonger to submit fax requests using HylaFAX's FTP-based client/server protocol. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide. -- Chris Fuhrman [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key -> http://www.pobox.com/~cfuhrman/pgpkey.html
Naming suggestions?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Howdy, Recently I uploaded a module called LinePrinter (LinePrinter-0.10.tar.gz) under the name CFUHRMAN. Unfortunately, I was not aware of the naming conventions at the time and realized that having one's module in a top-level area is probably not a Good Idea. The purpose of this module is to provide a method for perl programmers to talk to remote print servers without having to create a pipe to lp or lpr. I'm willing to rename the module (at least to give it more exposure *G*) and I believe that having it under the Net:: hierarchy would be the most logical choice (e.g. Net::LinePrinter or Net::RemotePrinter). Other suggestions and comments would be appreciated! - -- Chris Fuhrman | Twenty First Century Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Software Engineer (W) 614-442-1215 x271 | (F) 614-442-5662| PGP/GPG Public Key Available on Request -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: PGPEnvelope - http://www.bigfoot.com/~ftobin/resources.html iD8DBQE5IFJNtZTBgtmnGNERAhGWAKDR9yX8csYrSH/Nbe1JAwza842iuQCfc/9t GilaA6xFx2rLM5hqTWlORi0= =yH1H -END PGP SIGNATURE-

The > `Remote' part is also implicit in `Net'. Funny you should mention 'zzt zzt' noises. The original purpose of this module was to print to an old OkiData line printer whose main purpose was to make a loud racket when we printed alarms to it. > > How about Net::LPR or Net::Printer? I don't have any problems with Net::Printer.
