IPC::LDT ok?

[Jochen Stenzel]

Hello,

some weeks ago, I asked for the namespace IPC::LDT for an "length driven
transfer" protocol. I received no answer - is this namespace accepted?

Thanks

Module name search (suggesting IPC::LDT)

[Hr. Jochen Stenzel]

Hello,

I'm on the way to publish a module and have to choose a name. It
implements a "length driven" IPC protocol: every message is preceded by
a fix number of bytes containing a number indicating the length of the
remaining message. E.g., if you want to send "msg" and the prefix length
is set to 4, it would send "0003msg". It's stable for about a year now.
(Some weeks ago I read that S. Srinivasan uses a similar protocol in an
"Advanced Perl Programming" example, but I found no CPAN module
implementing it.)

In addition to the basic protocol feature, my module can switch transfer
objects from ASCII to object mode and vice versa to transfer Perl data
structures (serialized via Storable) if required. Connections can be
protected by SSL on request. Finally, it enables to delay the delivery
of messages.

I suggest IPC::LDT for "length driven protocol". What do you think?

Greetings

Getopt::ArgvFile not in module list?

[Hr. Jochen Stenzel]

Hello,

I just recognized that Getopt::ArgvFile is not to be found in the module

list (3.26), is anything wrong with it?

Greetings

J. Stenzel


P.S.: I tried to send this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] first - possibly this
address mentioned in the module list is wrong ...

Module name search (suggesting IPC::LDT) - fix

[Hr. Jochen Stenzel]

Hello,

sorry, a sentence in my previous message described another module.
IPC::LDT *can* be used for SSL connections, of course, but the support
is not built into the module because the already prepared handle is
passed to its constructor.
