- books-gen (modified 2018-08-19, RCS)
- This Perl program generates the web pages of books I've
read from the text file in which I actually store the information.
- ftp-upload-1.6.tar.gz (modified 2018-01-22, sig)
- ftp-upload transfers local files to another machine using FTP. It's
meant to be used by scripts and such rather than interactively. There's
no user interface, the program is controlled strictly via the command
line. It is disciplined with its exit status.
- sircrc.pl (modified 2018-01-18, RCS)
- This is my ~/.sircrc.pl file (used by sirc, a
Perl IRC client).
- mail-output (modified 2013-05-08, RCS)
- mail-output runs a command you specify and mails you any output it
generates. Normally if there isn't any output no mail is sent, but you
can override this. If the command exits with a non-zero status mail is
always generated. Here's the mail-output man
page. This script requires RS::Handy.
- TerminalCopyOnSelect-299.zip (modified 2011-11-03)
- This is compiled copy of the current version of the SIMBL plugin
TerminalCopyOnSelect found on github
(http://github.com/genki/terminalcopyonselect/tree/master) on
2011-11-03. This allows it to work with Lion's version of Terminal (299).
(With the compiled version at http://blog.s21g.com/articles/1077 you get
"Error Terminal [...] has not been tested with the plugin
TerminalCopyOnSelect [...]".)
- TerminalCopyOnSelect-273.zip (modified 2010-08-24)
- This is compiled copy of the current version of the SIMBL plugin
TerminalCopyOnSelect found on github
(http://github.com/genki/terminalcopyonselect/tree/master) on
2010-08-24. This allows it to work with current versions of Terminal.
(With the compiled version at http://blog.s21g.com/articles/1077 you get
"Error Terminal [...] has not been tested with the plugin
TerminalCopyOnSelect [...]".)
- mime-construct-1.11.tar.gz (modified 2010-06-23, sig)
- mime-construct constructs and (by default) mails MIME messages. It is
entirely driven from the command line, it is designed to be used by
other programs, or people who act like programs.
- String-ShellQuote-1.04.tar.gz (modified 2010-06-11, sig)
- This Perl module provides functions for quoting strings for safe passage
through shells.
- dedup (modified 2010-01-27, RCS)
- This program scans the files given as arguments and removes duplicates.
See the dedup documentation for more info. This
requires RS::Handy.
- rftg-0.6.1-osx.zip (modified 2010-01-11, sig)
-
This is compiled Mac app of version 0.6.1 of Keldon Jones' excellent Race
for the Galaxy computer version
with AI. As with the pre-compiled version on keldon.net, you have
to install the Mac
GTK framework before using it.
Changes to the original source were minimal, here's the source diff.
- rss-download (modified 2007-12-27, RCS)
- rss-download automatically downloads files listed in an RSS feed. It
isn't documented or feature-complete yet, but I'm already using it so I
thought I'd put it here early.
- mbox-purge (modified 2007-05-01, RCS)
- mbox-purge performs batch deletion of email messages from mbox format
files with appropriate locking, based on rules you specify. You can
select messages received before or after some point in time, or whose
headers or bodies match some Perl regular expression, or which are
selected based on an arbitrary Perl expression. See the mbox-purge documentation for more info and
examples. I use it to let my users automatically delete messages
older than a certain date, and sometimes to purge email-based viruses
and the like. This requires RS::Handy (from here)
and Proc::WaitStat (from CPAN or here), and Date::Parse (from CPAN) if
you want to do date parsing.
- lgtoclnt_7.2.2-1.diff.gz (modified 2007-02-14)
- This diff can be used to create a Debian .deb package for Legato Networker
version 7.2.2. The simplest way to use it is to place it in /var/lib/alien
and run "fakeroot alien lgtoclnt-7.2.2.jumbo-1.i686.rpm".
BTW, to get a .deb of the man pages you can use "fakeroot alien
lgtoman-7.2.2.jumbo-1.i686.rpm" without any patch (though the version
number will be a little off). The scripts aren't necessary.
- apt-pinning.html (modified 2006-06-14)
- APT's Default-Release setting (aka "apt-get --target-release") is an
extremely useful feature, but it doesn't work very well if you're
using more than 2 releases in your /etc/apt/sources.list file (such
as stable, testing, and unstable, or any 1 of those plus multiple
non-Debian sources). This document contains a description of the
problem and an /etc/apt/preferences file which improves the situation a
bit.
- URI-Find-0.16.tar.gz (modified 2005-07-22, sig)
- This module helps pick URLs out of text strings. It was written by
Michael Schwern, but I'm currently maintaining it.
- x-resolution.c (modified 2005-07-11)
- This is an X program which outputs the X and Y resolutions of your
current screen.
- randline (modified 2005-04-08, RCS)
- randline picks random lines from its input, either a fixed number of
lines, or a certain percentage of lines. In all cases it does this
using a single pass over the input, without saving it all in memory.
Here's the randline man page. This script
requires RS::Handy.
- db2-linux-client.html (modified 2005-03-31)
- I needed to access a DB2 database on a remote (Windows) server from
a Debian Linux machine using Perl's DBI (DBD::DB2). Here are my notes
about how I did it.
- gzip-links (modified 2005-03-25, RCS)
- gzip-links is like gzip but it allows you to compress multiply-linked
files. It does this by removing all but one of the links, compressing
the data under the remaining name, then linking to the removed names
(plus .gz). See the gzip-links documentation
for more info. This requires RS::Handy.
- Proc-SyncExec-1.01.tar.gz (modified 2005-02-05, sig)
- This Perl module contains functions for spawning processes with proper
exec() failure error reporting. It also has a fork_retry() function.
It lacks tests, examples and a synopsis but it is otherwise complete.
- pound-perl-nick-changes.html (modified 2004-11-22)
- It turns out that I'm really bad at noticing when people change
their IRC nicks. More than once on #perl after learning that somebody
I've been talking to for a while used to be somebody else I'd been
talking to for a while I wished for a nick change cheat sheet. So here
one is.
- jules-pool.html (modified 2004-04-26)
- Date/time/weight pool for our baby's birth.
- catan.html (modified 2002-10-06)
- A reference list I keep with my Catan set to aid reconfiguring
for different games.
- mail2news (modified 2002-06-18, RCS)
- This is my mail to news convertor and injector. It gets reasonable
threading by creating References from In-Reply-To if necessary and
possible. It is a Perl 4 script (though it says perl5 in the shebang
line).
- dunk (modified 2002-05-06, RCS)
- dunk stands for "du, no kids". It's like du but a directory's size doesn't
include the data in its subdirectories. These days I'd likely just have
used GNU du's --separate-dirs switch, but dunk also outputs the size in a
fixed-width field. This requires RS::Handy.
- stderr-die (modified 2002-04-26, RCS)
- stderr-die is a Perl script which runs the command given as its args
and mostly stays out of the way. The exit status is normally the exit
status of the command. If the command outputs anything on stderr but
exits with a 0 status, though, the exit status will be 1 instead.
- aixtoolbox-updates (modified 2002-04-01)
- aixtoolbox-updates checks the Aix Toolbox FTP site for updates to the
RPMs which are installed on the local machine, and downloads those
which have been updated. It's neither polished nor bulletproof, but
I'm releasing it as-is as I'm unlikely to improve either thing any time
soon. Here's the aixtoolbox-updates
man page. This script requires RS::Handy.
- xwarppointer.c (modified 2002-03-01)
- This is an X program which moves your mouse pointer to the X and Y
coordinates given as args.
- xvidmode.c (modified 2002-03-01)
- My intention is for this program to allow switching among your XFree86
video modes from the command line. So far it only switches to the
default mode. I bind it to a contraol-alt-keypad-enter so I can more
easily get back to the right resolution if a game leaves me in the
wrong one.
- learn-ip-address (modified 2001-12-04)
- The Perl FAQ contains a method for finding out your machine's IP
address which works by first determining its hostname and then doing
a gethostbyname() on that. Here's an alternative I suggested which
doesn't rely on hostname lookups, but has the disadvantage of giving
you only one address when run on a multi-homed host.
- libsirc-0.12.tar.gz (modified 2001-07-27, sig)
- This is collection of modules for sirc, a
Perl IRC client. It provides lots of programming conveniences, plus
auto-opping, kicks with temporary bans, and the like. It notably
contains Sirc::URL, which might be the most day-to-day useful thing I've
ever written. It marks up the output on IRC to allow you to load URLs
without cutting and pasting them. To use it you'll also need URI::Find
0.11 or higher.
- tracked-packages (modified 2001-03-09, RCS)
- This is a Perl script I use on Debian systems. It lets me know what
newer versions of the packages I'm tracking from unstable are available.
It's useful on a Debian system which is mostly tracking stable but has a
few packages installed from unstable.
- Proc-SafePipe-0.01.tar.gz (modified 2000-09-23, sig)
- These Perl functions provide a simple way to read from or write to
commands which are run without being interpreted by the shell. This
module provides both popen() and backtick equivalents.
- Proc-WaitStat-1.00.tar.gz (modified 1999-10-21, sig)
- This Perl module contains functions for interpreting and acting on
wait() status values. This module requires IPC::Signal, so get that
one, too.
- IPC-Signal-1.00.tar.gz (modified 1998-10-27, sig)
- This Perl module provides functions for translating signal names to numbers
and vice versa. This version works with 5.005 (and earlier). Older versions
didn't work with 5.005 because the format of $Config{sig_num} changed.
- User-utent-0.02.tar.gz (modified 1998-05-14, sig)
- This is a version of my utmp/wtmp module which does not
work. I'm releasing it as part of my guilt alleviation
campaign. I'd done a lot of work on the module last summer, but I
could never get around to finishing it.
I'm bundling up what I've got so far and looking for somebody
who'd like to take it over. The module uses autoconf with quite a bit
of local m4 code to do configuration. I've looked the code over (for
the first time in 4 months) and the foundation is solid, particularly
aclocal.m4/configure.in and the gen-code script. I'd estimate that
the module is about two thirds done. I hope somebody can give it the
time it needs, I think this module could really shine.
- ssh-command-users.txt (modified 1997-09-15)
- This is a patch for SSH 1.2.21. It gives you the ability to specify
that some users are allowed to use SSH to log in to the machine (slogin)
but not to run arbitrary commands (ssh/scp).
- User-utent-0.01.tar.gz (modified 1997-05-01, sig)
- This is a Perl interface to the utmp, wtmp, utmpx and wtmpx databases
and functions. It is definitely not ready for prime time. Most of the
XS functions have been written, but neither the automatic utmp/utmpx
Perl glue nor the documentation has. This version should be at least a
little useful, 0.02 does not work but I'm releasing it anyway because
I'm looking for somebody to take it over.
- tmskin10.zip (modified 1996-10-15)
- A replacement player skin for Id's game Quake. This skin makes it easier
to distinguish other players' teams in a multiplayer game. Here's the readme file (modified 1996-10-15).
