[Jul 16, 2008] sitecopy 0.16.5 by Joe Orton

About: sitecopy allows you to easily maintain remote Web sites. The program will upload files to the server which have changed locally, and delete files from the server which have been removed locally, keeping the remote site synchronized. FTP and WebDAV are supported.

Changes: This release updates the bundled version of neon and fixes a bug in SSL certificate caching. A new mailing list is available.

Web-Absence

Web-absence is a CGI application designed to help keep track of people in a group. It is intended to do one thing: allow the user to display the plans of all people in a group in a way that makes it easy to see who's present and who's absent. It is not intended for anything else. The resolution is one day.

You may remember a Tcl (yuck) application with a similar name from some years ago...

It could easily be adapted do handle reservations for any set of objects, as long as a resolution of a day is acceptable.

An example of a possible use is reserving machines/computers in a laboratory.

Web-absence is based on four Perl CGI-scripts that rely on seven back-end Perl modules written specifically for web-absence. For each month, an image (by default, PNG) is generated. Absences are created, edited, and deleted by clicking on the month-image.

Absence can be configured to use one of two modes to handle absence manipulations, server-side or client-side image maps.
 

[Dec 20, 2006] freshmeat.net Project details for CGI-Shell

CGI-Shell provides a shell using CGI, so everyone who has a CGI directory on a Web server can also have a shell on it. It's comparable to telnet or SSH. 

Stunnix Perl Web Server

Developed for writing browser-based applications and database-driven catalogues or presentations that reside on CDROM or DVD, internally implemented as Perl-driven or PHP-driven Web sites that store data in a database also located on CDROM. It produces a single CD that works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux/x86, without requiring any additional software on the user's computer. All an author needs to do to build a cross-platform browser-based application or CDROM is to copy scripts to their proper directories. HTML::Mason and mod_perl-like execution modes are supported for Perl-driven Web sites. *Changes:* A Web site can be automatically opened in MSIE in kiosk mode on Windows upon startup of the Web server. Support for PHP on Mac OS X has been fixed. Support for using the default browser on Windows has been fixed.

freshmeat.net Project details for Dispair

Dispair (DISPlay Archives In Realtime) is a tiny CGI-script written in Perl that lets users browse tar.gz archives.

    sarep (Console/Editors) Command-line search and replace tool written in Perl.
    Sep 16th 1998, 21:51 stable: 0.32 - devel: none - license: freely distributable

    replacer.pl (Perl) A utility to replace all instances of a given text string with a new text string in all the files in a single directory.

    Treesed -- Freeware
    Treesed, a Perl program, is a search/replace tool for lists of files. It can search for patterns in a list of files, or even a tree of directories with files.

    Usage:
    treesed pattern1 <pattern2> -files <file1 file2 ...>
    treesed pattern1 <pattern2> -tree

    Treesed searches for pattern1. If pattern2 is supplied pattern1 is replaced by pattern2. If pattern2 is not supplied treesed just searches. A list of files can be supplied with the -files parameter. Treesed is also capable of search/replace in files in subdirectories if you supply the -tree parameter. All files in the current directory and subdirectories are processed. Always a backup is made of the original file, with a random numeric suffix.

     

     


    Sitemap generator

    tree.pl creates a sitemap for all kinds of files (e.g., HTML and image files). It follows the directory structure on disk, creating a nested HTML list that contains the files' names or (in case of HTML) their titles, their last modified date, and their size. tree.pl can be used as a normal commandline application or as a CGI script.

      Dead Link Checkers

    Dead Link Check  0.3 Martial MICHEL    Wed Jul 21 14:37:18 EST 1999
    Dead Link Check (DLC) is a Perl script designed to find information on validity of HTTP references. The script may use/generate a cache file for avoiding redoing network requests if the user want to check added entries. The script works by reading entries from a file (or a list of links from the command line) and output results in file(s) (or STDOUT). DLC was created as an extension to Public Bookmark Generator (PBM), but can be used by itself.

    Release Notes:
    Extended range of user redirection recognition. Adding an optional argument to the "later" option. Extended handling of ftp requests. Added "indicator" option for having a progress indicator (in percent) if running in maximum verbose mode. Extended code so that "Bad Host Names" are not network requested more than required. Option "userRedirect" now as the same effect as forcing a "GET". Extended return codes to HTTP/1.1 range (using RFC 2616). Bug fix in http to ftp redirect. (see changelog)
