Perl Modules by BitPoet
This is a collection of, hopefully useful, Perl modules I've written. The modules are all in standardized, CPAN-compatible archives.
If you are using ActiveState's Perl distribution for Win32, you can also install the most current versions directly from this server. Just type
ppm repo add http://www.chrwinter.de/ppms/ bitpoet
on the command line to add this source to the list of repositories.
Perl Module Date::Spoken::German »
15/09/07
Output dates as ASCII text as you would speak it.
This module provides you with functions to easily convert a date (given as either integer values for day, month and year or as a unix timestamp) to its representation as german text, like you would read it aloud. This functionality might come in handy when building barrier-free websites or applications. »
Perl module Convert::XText »
15/09/07
Convert from and to RFC 1891 xtext encoding.
The XText encoding is a simple conversion to encapsulate data with more than 7 bits in the standard US-ASCII charset. This is used e.g. in the ESMTP protocol between mail servers. Instead of having to manually code the conversion (though not particularily difficult) this module gives you the convenience functions decode_xtext() and encode_xtext(). »
Perl Module Net::SMTP::PostfixExt »
23/11/07
XCLIENT and XFORWARD support for Net::SMTP.
The XCLIENT and XFORWARD protocols are extensions to the standard SMTP verbs introduced by the Postfix mailserver to allow filtering proxies to pass on original client information to an upstream MTA. This is done by using the XCLIENT or XFORWARD verb together with a number of paramters. »
Perl Module Net::SMTP::XCLIENT »
15/09/07
XCLIENT protocol support for Net::SMTP.
[Obsoleted by Net::SMTP::PostfixExt] The XCLIENT protocol is an extension to the standard SMTP verbs introduced by the Postfix mailserver to allow filtering proxies to delegate tasks like recipient verification to an upstream MTA. This is done by using the XCLIENT verb with a number of parameters. To test the functionality of your postfix server installation, you can use the xclienttest.pl perl script installed alongside this module. After installation, simply type "perldoc xclienttest.pl" to read its documentation. »
Perl Module Net::SMTP::XFORWARD »
16/09/07
XFORWARD protocol support for Net::SMTP.
[Obsoleted by Net::SMTP::PostfixExt] The XFORWARD protocol is an extension to the standard SMTP verbs introduced by the Postfix mailserver to allow filtering proxies to pass on original client information to an upstream MTA. This is done by using the XFORWARD verb together with a number of paramters. »
