[Fsp-devel] Announcing Net::FSP 0.12 "Better late than never", a Perl FSP implementation

[Leon T. <fa...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I recently found back an old piece of code of mine. I finished it and
uploaded it to CPAN (you can find it at
http://search.cpan.org/~leont/Net-FSP/). It's three years later than
expected, but it's finally here: a Perl FSP implementation.

It was kind of interesting to write the code, as I had never
implemented a binary protocol before. It turned out to be easier than
expected. Having said that, I haven't been able to do much testing, so
don't be too surprised if something breaks at this stage.

I've put two script using it at http://www.xs4all.nl/~silemia/fsp/,
fspclient and mirror. I think it should be pretty obvious what each of
them does. fspclient has a help command that should get you all
started. I saw a mirroring tool was on the task list so I picked that
one up too. It gives a pretty good idea of how it is to work with
Net::FSP. Both scripts accept the same environmental variables as the
official FSP suite, so you won't have to change too much to start
using them.

Regards,

Leon Timmermans
