Programming

Perl

• My directory on CPAN ;
• Test reports from the kind CPAN smokers (and the corresponding Perl/platform matrix ) ;
• CPANTS ratings ;
• Code coverage reports generated by running Devel::Cover on the test suite ;
• Some scripts for X-Chat 2.0.8 and higher. The user is expected to be able to guess how to install/use them by h{im,er}self :
  • Xchat::XPI is the base plugin class (required by all the other scripts) ;
  • Xchat::XPI::Events provides more events handlers (may disappear in the future) ;
  • Xchat::XPI::Net implements some asynchronous networking utilities (requires Net::DNS ) ;
  • Xchat::XPI::Utils gathers other miscellanous utilities ;
  • clones scans for clones (requires Xchat::XPI::Events) ;
  • hl currently simply highlights on private messages ;
  • mpd gives you a Music Player Daemon "now playing" announcer (requires Audio::MPD ) ;
  • net provides asynchronous DNS and Whois clients (requires Xchat::XPI::Net) ;
  • opers scans for network operators ;
  • services extends the ghost/identify commands ;
  • tools contains miscellanous tools (especially a perl interpreter) ;
  or everything into one archive (put the *.pl files and the Xchat directory into your X-Chat data directory (~/.xchat2 on Unices or %APPDATA%/X-Chat 2 on Windows)).
• A C macro expander , useful for preprocessing your code before running it through gcov (usage : ./mxp.pl [-i|-n|-o outfile] infile) ;
• A set of patches to fix perl integration into Gentoo :
  • /usr/portage/eclass/perl-{app,module}.eclass : if PREFER_BUILDPL isn't set to "yes", the installation process never falls back to Build.PL when no Makefile.PL is present ;
  • /usr/bin/g-cpan : fix the creation of wrong ebuilds (without version) for top level modules ;
  • /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.x.x/Gentoo/CPAN.pm : modules extracted by CPAN have a random extension and Gentoo can't see them ;
  • /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.x.x/Gentoo/Portage.pm : badly designed strip_env() generates a few warnings.
• A patch that fixes some building errors of perl 1 .
• An improved XS syntax highlighting file for Vim generated from blead's perlapi. Download this file to ~/.vim/syntax/xs.vim to install it.

C

• Alchemy , a little block game in C (needs some curses library). Updated 2007-09-15 to 0.03.
