Contents of perl5 Net class: Net::FTP - FTP Client class Net::FTP is a class implementing a simple FTP client in Perl as described in RFC959 Net::FTP provides methods that will perform various operations. These methods could be split into groups depending the level of interface the user requires. Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface Net::Time provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine. Net::DummyInetd - A dummy Inetd server Net::DummyInetd is just what it's name says, it is a dummy inetd server. Creation of a Net::DummyInetd will cause a child process to be spawned off which will listen to a socket. When a connection arrives on this socket the specified command is fork'd and exec'd with STDIN and STDOUT file descriptors duplicated to the new socket. Net::NNTP - NNTP Client class Net::NNTP is a class implementing a simple NNTP client in Perl as described in RFC977. Net::NNTP inherits its communication methods from Net::Cmd Net::SNPP - Simple Network Pager Protocol Client This module implements a client interface to the SNPP protocol, enabling a perl5 application to talk to SNPP servers. This documentation assumes that you are familiar with the SNPP protocol described in RFC1861. Net::POP3 - Post Office Protocol 3 Client class (RFC1081) This module implements a client interface to the POP3 protocol, enabling a perl5 application to talk to POP3 servers. This documentation assumes that you are familiar with the POP3 protocol described in RFC1081. Net::Cmd - Network Command class (as used by FTP, SMTP etc) Net::Cmd is a collection of methods that can be inherited by a sub class of IO::Handle. These methods implement the functionality required for a command based protocol, for example FTP and SMTP. Net::SMTP - Simple Mail transfer Protocol Client This module implements a client interface to the SMTP protocol, enabling a perl5 application to talk to SMTP servers. This documentation assumes that you are familiar with the SMTP protocol described in RFC821. Net::Domain - Attempt to evaluate the current host's internet name and domain Using various methods attempt to find the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the current host. From this determine the host-name and the host-domain. Net::Netrc - OO interface to users netrc file Net::Netrc is a class implementing a simple interface to the .netrc file used as by the ftp program. Net::Telnet - Defines constants for the telnet protocol This module is VERY preliminary as I am not 100% sure how it should be implemented. Currently it just exports constants used in the telnet protocol. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=libnet
