This Perl module provides support for the HTTPS protocol under LWP, to
allow an 'LWP::UserAgent' object to perform GET, HEAD and POST requests.
Please see LWP for more information on POST requests.

The 'Crypt::SSLeay' package provides 'Net::SSL', which is loaded by
'LWP::Protocol::https' for https requests and provides the necessary SSL
glue.

This distribution also makes following deprecated modules available:

Crypt::SSLeay::CTX
Crypt::SSLeay::Conn
Crypt::SSLeay::X509

Work on Crypt::SSLeay has been continued only to provide https support for
the LWP (libwww-perl) libraries.

HTTP::Daemon::SSL is a descendant of HTTP::Daemon that uses SSL sockets
(via IO::Socket::SSL) instead of cleartext sockets. It also handles
SSL-specific problems, such as dealing with HTTP clients that attempt
to connect to it without using SSL.

Log::Log4perl lets you remote-control and fine-tune the logging behaviour
of your system from the outside. It implements the widely popular
(Java-based) Log4j logging package in pure Perl.

*For a detailed tutorial on Log::Log4perl usage, please read*

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/09/11/log4perl.html

Logging beats a debugger if you want to know what's going on in your code
during runtime. However, traditional logging packages are too static and
generate a flood of log messages in your log files that won't help you.

'Log::Log4perl' is different. It allows you to control the number of
logging messages generated at three different levels:

* *

At a central location in your system (either in a configuration file or
in the startup code) you specify _which components_ (classes, functions)
of your system should generate logs.

* *

You specify how detailed the logging of these components should be by
specifying logging _levels_.

* *

You also specify which so-called _appenders_ you want to feed your log
messages to ("Print it to the screen and also append it to /tmp/my.log")
and which format ("Write the date first, then the file name and line
number, and then the log message") they should be in.

This is a very powerful and flexible mechanism. You can turn on and off
your logs at any time, specify the level of detail and make that dependent
on the subsystem that's currently executed.

Let me give you an example: You might find out that your system has a
problem in the 'MySystem::Helpers::ScanDir' component. Turning on detailed
debugging logs all over the system would generate a flood of useless log
messages and bog your system down beyond recognition. With 'Log::Log4perl',
however, you can tell the system: "Continue to log only severe errors to
the log file. Open a second log file, turn on full debug logs in the
'MySystem::Helpers::ScanDir' component and dump all messages originating
from there into the new log file". And all this is possible by just
changing the parameters in a configuration file, which your system can
re-read even while it's running!

Net::Daemon is an abstract base class for implementing portable server
applications in a very simple way. The module is designed for Perl 5.005
and threads, but can work with fork() and Perl 5.004.

The Net::Daemon class offers methods for the most common tasks a daemon
needs: Starting up, logging, accepting clients, authorization, restricting
its own environment for security and doing the true work. You only have to
override those methods that aren't appropriate for you, but typically
inheriting will safe you a lot of work anyways.

SOAP::Lite is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple and
lightweight interface to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) both on
client and server side.

Text::CSV_XS provides facilities for the composition and decomposition of
comma-separated values. An instance of the Text::CSV_XS class can combine
fields into a CSV string and parse a CSV string into fields.

The module accepts either strings or files as input and can utilize any
user-specified characters as delimiters, separators, and escapes so it is
perhaps better called ASV (anything separated values) rather than just CSV.

This module provides an interface to the system logger syslogd(8) via
Perl's XSUBs. The implementation attempts to resemble the native libc-
functions of your system, so that anyone being familiar with syslog.h
should be able to use this module right away.

X500::DN Provides a pure perl parser and formatter for RFC 2253 style
DN strings.

A YaST2 Agent for various Transfer Protocols: FTP, HTTP, and TFTP.

yum-utils is a collection of utilities and examples for the yum package
manager. It includes utilities by different authors that make yum
easier and more powerful to use.

Cobbler is a network install server. Cobbler
supports PXE, virtualized installs, and
reinstalling existing Linux machines. The last two
modes use a helper tool, 'koan', that
integrates with cobbler. There is also a web interface
'cobbler-web'. Cobbler's advanced features
include importing distributions from DVDs and rsync
mirrors, kickstart templating, integrated yum
mirroring, and built-in DHCP/DNS Management. Cobbler has
a XMLRPC API for integration with other applications.

Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy-to-configure DNS forwarder and DHCP
server. It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small
network. It can serve the names of local machines that are not in the
global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows
machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in DNS with names
configured either in each host or in a central configuration file.
Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP for network
booting of diskless machines.

This module solves the problem of having to continually write accessor
methods for your objects that perform standard tasks.

The argument to 'use' is an *arrayref*, as pairs whose "keys" are the names
of types of generic methods generated by MethodMaker and whose "values"
tell method maker what methods to make.

To override any generated methods, it is sufficient to ensure that the
overriding method is defined when Class::MethodMaker is called. Note that
the 'use' keyword introduces a 'BEGIN' block, so you may need to define (or
at least declare) your overriding method in a 'BEGIN' block.
