These are the perl modules I've written over the years. Some unpublished, others published. Many are buggy, some are not. If I'm intending for others to use the modules, then I almost certainly published them here also: http://search.cpan.org/~jettero/
In fact, I'd be rather surprised if anyone really looked at this page that didn't come to my site for some other reason.
Essentially, I wanted a set of perl native packages that would do very basic statistics. That package (Statistics-Basic-1.53.tar.gz) is called Statistics::Basic. It contains things like ::Mean, ::StdDev, ::Covariance, etc.
Changes:
1.53: Fri Aug 22 17:34:02 EDT 2008
- did some cleanup on the recalc code
- still showing a bug in the new t/08_filter tests...
- yeah, bad bug in the median code, wow
1.50: Fri Aug 22 06:56:17 EDT 2008
- adding a computed vector class that will act just like a
vector, but will be recomputable.
- computed vectors and a test have been added...
- added a filtered-outlier test
- documented the new computed vectors
1.00: Thu Aug 7 07:24:36 EDT 2008
- finished up the docs, they still need to be proofread
Ben Lynn's PBC library is really fun: http://crypto.stanford.edu/pbc/. But I'm a perl nerd at heart, so I ported it to perl. He's actively working on his library, so I expect to have to update this module relatively regularly. File: Crypt-PBC-0.854.tar.gz Man Page: Crypt::PBC.
Changes:
0.854: Thu Aug 21 06:21:28 EDT 2008
- Used EU::MM's prompt() instead of rolling my own. BingOS++.
Woops.
0.853: Thu Aug 14 12:05:26 EDT 2008
- Fixed a build problem for bsd
- Fixed an eval { use Something } problem in a test.
It now reads eval q{ use something }; ... grrz.
0.852: Wed Aug 13 16:29:37 EDT 2008
- A cpan tester informed me that his libgmp was in /usr/local
... that's kindof a no brainer. I added some rudimentary
libpaths to the Makefile.PL; I should probably make it use
some system paths. Later.
I had originally posted this project on perlmonks, where I was encouraged (privately) to post the code as a module on CPAN. I never hesitate to post on CPAN. File: CPAN-CachingProxy-1.3.tar.gz Man Page: CPAN::CachingProxy module.
Changes:
1.3: Mon Aug 18 09:07:51 EDT 2008
- found a few variable name bugs/typos
- added a couple more expiration options
- added an LWP timeout option
1.2: Tue Aug 12 07:19:25 EDT 2008
- I taught the cache about an alternate expiration for the
index files. It makes sense to only cache them for a
shorter while...
1.1: Thu Aug 7 16:04:01 EDT 2008
- ditched version.pm
- re-wrote a couple of examples and docs
(the key_space stuff)
- minor path patch
Net::Pcap does the job, but it's confusing and difficult to operate. This module solves that problem in a relatively general way.
I wanted an way to build libpcap filters really quickly. It shouldn't take two hours to crank one out, particularly since I imagine they all kinda look the same. So, I wrote this to simplify writing sniffers really quickly.
Here it is: Net-Pcap-Easy-1.32.tar.gz Read it: Net::Pcap::Easy.
Changes:
1.32: Wed Aug 13 13:49:19 EDT 2008
- woops, 'skip' device fails tests...
1.31: Wed Aug 13 07:21:36 EDT 2008
- I dislike module::build, removed
1.3: Wed Aug 6 07:00:43 EDT 2008
- Awesome. t/07 had a naked (non eval"") use WWW::Mechanize,
even though it didn't use it. So, CPAN testers rock.
Nichus and I wrote this one for our network monitoring scripts. It turns 7654321 seconds into 12w4d14h12m1s. Date-Lima-1.3.tar.gz / Date::Lima.
Changes:
1.3: Tue Aug 12 07:19:17 EDT 2008 - I modernized this greatly 1.2: Fri Sep 22 07:47:51 EDT 2000 - jettero redid the NAME field to match cpan 1.1: Fri Sep 22 07:47:51 EDT 2000 - jettero redid the exports
I needed a way to get info about a process. I wanted it to work under BSD and Linux. Check out the man page: Unix::Process module (Unix-Process-1.31.tar.gz).
Changes:
1.31:
- I used a perl 5.8 syntax in my Makefile.PL
- although, I think this should work in perl 5.6
+ hrm, looks like IPC::System::Simple doesn't work under
5.6, at some point they started using the "use if WINDOWS"
syntax, which I think is from later perls.
1.300_000: Tue May 27 12:09:33 EDT 2008
- The autoloader was kinda crappy
- There were whitespace bugs
- I hate M::B and went back to EU::MM
(so I also ditched version.pm)
1.2.1: Mon May 26 15:44:35 EDT 2008
- I might as well do a new version of everything using
version.pm while I wait for all my CPAN deletes to go
through. I just discovered that version.pm doesn't/didn't
go core until perl 5.9... I really wish I'd have prereqed
it everywhere I used it, but I didn't. *sigh*
I needed to find all the refs blessed under PackageName. I was told that can't be done, but with XS, you can pretty much do anything you want. I don't think this is very efficient, but I only needed it for debugging. Here it is: Devel-FindBlessedRefs-1.2.tar.gz Read it: Devel::FindBlessedRefs.
Changes:
1.2: Thu Aug 7 16:13:58 EDT 2008
- removed version.pm and Module::Build
1.1.3: Wed Jul 30 07:26:31 EDT 2008
- just noticed my email address was wrong in the pod
- removed the Makefile.PL, it causes problems
1.1.2: Wed Jul 23 16:11:58 EDT 2008
- Module::Build needs ExtUtils::CBuilder to build XS
(lame)
I wanted something that worked like CGI.pm but for RSS. Sadly, nobody completed anything like that before me, so I have attempted to construct it. I know precious little about the format, but I think this is a reasonable attempt. Here it is: CGI-RSS-0.8.tar.gz, CGI::RSS.
Changes:
0.9: Thu Aug 7 15:53:52 EDT 2008
- ditched version.pm
0.7.3: Tue May 27 12:03:32 EDT 2008
- (wow, use version has to be on the same line as our $VERSION
for older EUMM)
0.7.2: Mon May 26 15:44:02 EDT 2008
- I might as well do a new version of everything using
version.pm while I wait for all my CPAN deletes to go
through. I just discovered that version.pm doesn't/didn't
go core until perl 5.9... I really wish I'd have prereqed
it everywhere I used it, but I didn't. *sigh*
I've been wishing for a long time that perl had a previous_object() function like Pike. They showed me how on perlmonks.org... So I wipped this together quick. Here it is: Object-Previous-1.1.tar.gz Read it: Object::Previous.
Changes:
1.1: Thu Aug 7 15:49:49 EDT 2008
- version.pm is incompatible with EU::MM and
- removed the Autoloader from the .pm
1.0.0: Sat Jun 7 19:59:19 EDT 2008
- finished the pure perl and XS versions
I wanted POSIX regexs in perl. It's not the first time I've wanted them. So I cranked 'em out. The File: POSIX-Regex-1.000_000.tar.gz The Manpage: Check out the man page: POSIX::Regex.
Changes:
1.000_000: Thu Aug 7 15:25:12 EDT 2008
- after much hullabaloo, I have determined that version.pm
needs Module::Build to work reliably with XS and I have
further determined that Module::Build causes more problems
than it solves. I hate it. So I'm removing version.pm and
Module::Build and going back to the ultra stable
ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
0.90.16: Wed Jul 30 07:28:25 EDT 2008
- changed my author and copyright sections, they were all
wrong
- removed the Makefile.PL, causes problems
0.90.15: Mon Jul 28 06:39:12 EDT 2008
- added lib checkers to both .PLs
Back in about 2001, I wanted to build a huge library of Technical Analysis tools for perl. I only built three of them originally.
File: stockmonkey-2.11.tar.gz
Man Page: StockMonkey Modules.
Changes:
2.11: Sun Jul 13 13:08:22 EDT 2008
- fixed the HMA test. HMA can apparently exceed (or
under-ceed) input-min-max boundaries. Huh.
2.10: Sat Jul 12 20:33:50 EDT 2008
- Gustav found that ParabolicSAR fails to
accept four tuples that That must have been hard to figure out...
- I also apparently misspelled tuple everywhere, wow
- I added a FAQ pointing to Genius Trader
2.9: Wed Jul 2 15:44:30 EDT 2008
- Added LaguerreFilter (a fascinating take on moving averages
using digital filter processing)
- added a test for the LF
- switched the adaptive diff filter from an average to a
median (more literally what's in Ehlers' book)
I was particularly thrilled with Jamis Buck's Dungeon Generator, but I wanted to design something a little more flexible that allowed for export and generation plugins. Although images aren't the only focus of the module, screenshots sell everything, so I provided this one an this one. I have also provided XSLT samples of each of them. It's quite tittlating don't you think?
There is also a new editor that's worth checking out.
File: Games-RolePlay-MapGen-1.3.0.tar.gz
Man Page: Games::RolePlaying::MapGen module.
Changes:
1.3.0: Sun Jun 15 11:01:38 EDT 2008
- added the MapQueue module (which includes d20-like visicalc)
1.2.20: Tue May 27 12:07:32 EDT 2008
- (wow, use version has to be on the same line as our $VERSION
for older EUMM)
1.2.19: Mon May 26 14:48:22 EDT 2008
- I might as well do a new version of everything using
version.pm while I wait for all my CPAN deletes to go
through. I just discovered that version.pm doesn't/didn't
go core until perl 5.9... I really wish I'd have prereqed
it everywhere I used it, but I didn't. *sigh*
This (MySQL-Easy-2.0.4.tar.gz) is something I've been using over and over. I don't remember how I used to live without it. I had quit publishing this on CPAN for a while, but I decided to put it back after soneome asked about it. I have gotten grief about the namespace previously, but moving it into DBIx didn't work out. Check out the man page: MySQL::Easy module.
Changes:
2.0.4: Mon Jun 9 20:55:50 EDT 2008
- added a smarter last_insert_id
2.0.3: Tue May 27 12:04:27 EDT 2008
- (wow, use version has to be on the same line as our $VERSION
for older EUMM)
2.0.2: Mon May 26 15:56:50 EDT 2008
- I might as well do a new version of everything using
version.pm while I wait for all my CPAN deletes to go
through. I just discovered that version.pm doesn't/didn't
go core until perl 5.9... I really wish I'd have prereqed
it everywhere I used it, but I didn't. *sigh*
The gentoo /sbin/functions.sh suite is really nice for shell scripts. I wanted some of that functionality for perl. Here it is: Term-GentooFunctions-1.2.2.tar.gz, Term::GentooFunctions.
Changes:
1.2.2: Tue May 27 12:06:23 EDT 2008
- (wow, use version has to be on the same line as our $VERSION
for older EUMM)
1.2.1: Mon May 26 15:58:50 EDT 2008
- I might as well do a new version of everything using
version.pm while I wait for all my CPAN deletes to go
through. I just discovered that version.pm doesn't/didn't
go core until perl 5.9... I really wish I'd have prereqed
it everywhere I used it, but I didn't. *sigh*
1.2.0: Sat May 24 09:21:21 EDT 2008
- using version.pm as suggested by Andreas Koenig
This exports a send_mail() function into your local namespace.
The package: Net-SMTP-OneLiner-1.3.3.tar.gz The Manpage: Net::SMTP::OneLiner
Changes:
1.3.3: Tue May 27 12:02:10 EDT 2008
- (wow, use version has to be on the same line as our $VERSION
for older EUMM)
1.3.2: Tue May 27 07:30:11 EDT 2008
- still forgot the version.pm
1.3.1: Mon May 26 15:42:56 EDT 2008
- I might as well do a new version of everything using
version.pm while I wait for all my CPAN deletes to go
through. I just discovered that version.pm doesn't/didn't
go core until perl 5.9... I really wish I'd have prereqed
it everywhere I used it, but I didn't. *sigh*
Math::Units did almost what I wanted. I really wanted something like Math::Calc::Units -- which felt unfinished, and hadn't been updated for years. This (Math-Units-PhysicalValue-0.71.tar.gz) is something I wrote for dividing things like "6,500 ft" and "43 s" and getting "103.16 miles/hour". This module uses Math::Units and Math::Algebra::Symbols to do all it's magic. Really, PhysicalValue is just a collection of clever operator overloads. Check out the man page: Math::Units::PhysicalValue module. Last updated on Mon Nov 5 07:36:30 EST 2007
I didn't write this. I fetched the CPAN version and the requirements failed to mention Test::Pod::Coverage. The tests didn't pass. And I was just generally POed about it. So I repackaged it and uploaded it to my website. I won't be releasing this version on CPAN or anything. I probably won't even mention it to the author. File: Crypt-Cracklib-1.1.jet.tar.gz Man Page: Crypt::Cracklib. Last updated on Thu Jul 19 09:15:26 EDT 2007
Games::Go::SGF2misc is yet another SGF reader (Games-Go-SGF2misc-0.9.8.tar.gz). This one spews forth the SGF in several formats. as_perl(), as_hash(), as_png(), etc... It is designed to work without the help or need for the infamous sgf2misc by J. Van Der Steen (http://gobase.org/software/sgf2misc/). And also without the perfectly acceptable Games::Go::SGF.
This (MySQL-Easy-1.34.tar.gz) is something I've been using over and over. I don't remember how I used to live without it. So, I give it to you. Don't use it if you don't like it! :) This namespace has been discontinued. It is still available under the name DBIx::Easy::MySQL. Check out the man page: MySQL::Easy module. Last updated on Mon Mar 5 16:03:12 EST 2007
This (Net-IdentServer-0.56.tar.gz) is something I wrote for validating DSL users from behind a masq firewall. Long story. Check out the man page: Net::IdentServer module. Last updated on Sat May 7 14:06:41 EDT 2005
AI::GAUL is just a simple XS wrapper for the most excellent GAUL C lib. It is not done yet. Snag it here: AI-GAUL-0.0.7.tar.gz Last Modified: Wed May 5 09:09:53 EDT 2004
The Text::SpellCheck module (Text-SpellCheck-0.56.tar.gz) is just something I wanted for my giving 60 site. I never did get around to installing it though.

This cute little module makes dockapps.
File: Wharf-JDockApp-1.2.1.tar.gz
Man: Wharf::JDockApp
This (FoxPro-DBF-0.16.tar.gz) is something I've been meaning to make for quite a while. The FoxPro::DBF module. This first step lets you read foxpro data from any platform (with perl). Clearly this module needs a new name. This module doesn't work with DBI because DBI is too sql-centric; though, that is an end goal, I just don't see how I can get this module to work with DBI. Last updated on Sat Feb 8 12:17:44 EST 2003
I have to use Card Service International at work ... This made their API bareable. The Business::CSI module (Business-CSI-0.81.1.tar.gz). Last updated on Mon Jul 30 20:50:47 EDT 2001.
This doesn't work yet. It will (in the future) load up glorious mysql client menus and things. :) MySQL::GUI module (MySQL-GUI-0.35.tar.gz). Last updated on Thu Jan 17 11:50:50 EST 2002
