Comprehensive Perl Script Resource Index – User submitted perl scripts

30boxes.pl: Uses WebService::30Boxes::API to nicely display events and data on the terminal.
You can use this to display your agenda every time you open the terminal. Usage: cat /path/to/auth_token /path/to/api_key | perl /path/to/30boxes.pl -w 2 -t 10 This displays the events for the next 2 weeks and the first 10 tasks. auth_token and api_key both contain only one line with the respective information.
Acrostic.pl: This program generates acrostics.
It first generates a large array, and switches the appropriate cells of the array to 1s to create squares, filled in sections, letters, and numbers. It writes the results to an image file in XBM format (chosen because of the ease of writing to such files).
It is driven principally by a command line interface using which you enter rows of letters. Given the value of the final number it fills in all the rest for you (note that if you have enough memory, and can generate all eight rows at once, it isn't necessary to have this input: it's easy to figure out what the number is algorithmically). This program is a major memory hog (seemingly inevitably -- anyone have any ideas?)
activitymail-1.25: activitymail-1.25 -- CVS activity notification.
This program may be used for sending email messages for CVS repository activity. There are a number of different modes supported. It can send messages for every change to the repository (like syncmail), or it can be used to send a single message for each commit. In the latter case, a list of all the files affected by the commit will be assembled and listed in the single message. This is similar to how commit_prep and log_accum work, but is more efficient.
activitymail-1.26: activitymail-1.26 -- CVS activity notification.
This program may be used for sending email messages for CVS repository activity. There are a number of different modes supported. It can send messages for every change to the repository (like syncmail), or it can be used to send a single message for each commit. In the latter case, a list of all the files affected by the commit will be assembled and listed in the single message. This is similar to how commit_prep and log_accum work, but is more efficient.
addressbookDB.cgi: This is a cgi/frames representation of addressbook data stored in my local mysql database.
The general idea behind this program is to display, add, alter, and delete the addressbook data I have on this database, for personal purposes.
adminmail-1.0.pl: This script grabs a list of all the users in a domain and emails the results to an email address.
adsibrowser-20010222.plt: adsibrowser - cgi script browses ActiveDirectory via the web.
this is basically a learning excersize for me to wrap my head around adsi and what it makes available. When I started there wasn't much out there on Perl and ADSI (aside from TE's Perl/Tk adsi browser for which I had not the Tk) so I thought other folks might be interested in the code, rough as it is.
install cgi script, pull it up in your web browser, pick a level of detail and starting point, view ADSI objects, their property values, available methods/properties, implemented interfaces. Click links to see more.
aim_fire-1.03: aim_fire-1.03 -- command-line utility that sends a quick AIM message to somebody.
This script sends AIM messages. It's mostly useful for tacking onto the end of a long-running program (like a make) to AIM you when it's done.
alcatel_readserial-0.2: alcatel_readserial-0.2 -- Reads data on the searial port that has been provided by an Alcatel OmniPCX phone system.
The data is then processed and re-written into a csv file for later processing.
applesingle-0.9: applesingle-0.9 -- extract the data fork from an AppleSingle byte stream.
This script reads a byte stream in AppleSingle format, extracts the header information, and then reads the entry ids to determine the location of the data fork. It writes the data fork to a file called filename.data.
The AppleSingle stream is described in RFC 1740.
arcimb-0.02: arcimb-0.02 -- periodically rename IMAP mailboxes so they don't grow too large.
arcimb-0.03: Archive IMAP Mailboxes -- periodically rename IMAP mailboxes so they don't grow too large
asa-vpn-sessions-0.01.pl: asa-vpn-sessions-0.01.pl -- A script to list the Cisco-ASA vpn-sessions.
At time of writing (8/2010), the ASA has a faulty SNMP implementation for the CISCO-REMOTE-ACCESS-MONITOR-MIB. This script fetches the session tables via https:
This script doesn't verify the ASAs SSL certificate. Add the verification or use it with a low-privileged operator account only.
The following configuration enables a low-privileged operator account for http access:
ask: ask - filters stdin by asking the user for each line.
ask is a utility that filters stdin to stdout not by any automatic process, but by prompting the user about each line.
autoresponder: autoresponder - A scrtipt for receiving a mail and immediately replying.
While installing a new mail server or client you typically are sending and receiving test mails over and over again. Even worse, you sometimes have to do a phonecall and ask someone for sending a mail to you.
This script will help you in some cases by setting up an email address like autoresponder\@company.com that will receive email addresses and immediately reply it back.
backup-reporter-1.03: This is a general script for many types of backup jobs. You can use it to configure different types of backups, which can run together or independently of each other. It also formats a nice report for each backup job.
You can use it to make complete system backups, backup a few directory trees, or just backup a few files. You can also do all of these jobs at once. A backup job can target just one host, or several hosts at once. You can use it with ufsdump, dump, tar or pax, whichever works best for your system. You can save your archives to tape or just save them to the local filesystem (the script will organize your archive files by hostname).
The main motivation for writing this script was to manage a variety of different backup jobs for different systems, with each job having a consistent and informative output format. By using config files, I could easily modify the targets of the backup jobs without having to modify the script itself, and conversely, I could easily modify the script itself and have it immediately apply to all backup jobs.
You specify a backup job by using a config file. The config file syntax is a little clumsy, however, sample config files have been placed into the archive for this script on CPAN, so you can probably just modify them to suit your purposes. This archive is kept in the author's directory on CPAN, namely CPAN/authors/id/JNOLAN.

cvsls-0.8: Displays 'cvs status' in an configurable and easy to digest format. See the 'cvsls -h' option for more help.
I plan to make 'author' features use cvs output instead of looking for files (this feature was added as a total hack). Also, I plan to make the widths of version number columns change if needed. Also, I plan to mkae the documentation better. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with this code, and you shouldn't be scared of it.

cvs_init: CvsInit - script to import a working directory into an existing CVS repository.
CvsInit allows importing a working directory into an existing CVS repository much like conventional 'cvs import' command works. However, this particular utility is flexible enough to perform only certain phases of an import job as requested via command prompt options. Many a times, that's exactly what one would require to start archiving versions of his/her working files. This script is also simpler to use in that it doesn't require altering your working directory significantly (that is, no files will be lost from the working directory that are ment to be excluded from the repository -- refer to CVS documentation and that on cvsignore in particular) to perform the task. In fact, after running this script, you may safely execute any CVS command not having to worry about making an initial checkout etc (as would be required with 'cvs import').
cxfsdump-0.4: cxfsdump - Dump CXFS filesystems using a jukebox (tape robot)
This script does all the job of loading tapes with the stacker (the robotics control program), relocating the metadataserver for the CXFS filesytems, launching the xfsdump utility, rewinding and ejecting tape and unloading it with the stacker again. If a xfsdump needs more than 1 tape, it will change the tape and span the dump to the next tape.
The script is intended for CXFS filesystems but it is also able to dump local filesytems.
Several sets of tapes can be configured. Each one will be used successively for dumping all the configured filesystems. Current implementation does not support incremental backups.
dabepg_bin2xml-0.3.pl: dabepg_bin2xml - Convert DAB Binary EPG (ETSI TS 102 371) to DAB XML EPG (ETSI TS 102 818)

Then you can import the files (after ftping) by coverting to DB_File at destination workstation using this same util. You can also clean up the SDBM_Files after you are done ftping (source side) and done importing (destination side) This same code will work on the unix or win side.
NOTE: be sure DB_File has less than 1024 bytes per entry, or it wont fit into a SDBM_File (unless you recompile the SDBM_File to support bigger buckets.
dbfileutil-1-2.pl: dbfileutil.pl - Export/Import between DB_File and SDBM_File
Export/Import between DB_File and SDBM_File from Windows and Unix platforms.

Sort (normal, numerical and reverse) on any column of the SQL results. Print the SQL results to a printer. Quick command line clear and restore for easy command line generation/pasting. "Clone" the results to a new display window for comparisons etc. Utilize the SYBASE libraries or isql/sqsh binaries for the queries. Maintain four complete configuration "snapshots" for easy retrieval. Reload the last set of parameters on startup.
Interactively enable and disable any or all of three different command lines for execution. All of the 'active' command lines are concatenated, therefore the three command entry lines can be used to quickly eliminate/add command parameters to an existing command.
Display the column data type in each column header. Display the column data width in each column header. Solicit and quickly popup a list of the system datatypes. Colored busy indicator (red/green) to indicate if the DBGUI is waiting on results from the DB server. The date/time of command execution is captured in the title bar. The checkpoint file can be specified as an argument. Allowing pre-defined menu histories to be defined More probably....

Force dates if no date found.
Find files with more than one date.
The main motivation for writing this script was to adjust the dates of last modification in today over 1,100 pages on a constantly growing website. Later I used it for other web-projects, for memos, source codes...
del_pop3_scr.pl: del_pop3_scr.pl -- delete msgs from a POP3 mbox with SCR & PIF attachements
This script scans a POP3 mailbox and deletes messages with *.SCR or *.PIF attachements
deport-0.2.pl: deport.pl - A script for monitoring TCP/UDP open ports in Linux systems and doing some sanity checks on the running processes.
This script checks for open and listening TCP and UDP ports in a Linux system and uses lsof/fuser to check the owner process. Optionally, it can verify the package in which the process belongs and verify MD5 checksums, thus making it a useful tool for checking against forged processes using known ports and also it's useful for closing down not-so-secure-by-default port configurations in Linux systems.
desift.pl: desift.pl -- is a data-driven, temlate-oriented text filter.
It occupies a niche somewhere between spartan shell utilities such as 'cut' and full-featured template engines.
Like cut, printf, and other multi-purpose shell scripting favorites, desift provides generic text formatting and filtering functions accessible from the shell. It uses standard input and output channels to maximize how it can be leveraged. Desift is particularly effective when combined in a pipeline with programs that query a data source or perform non-interactive text editing. It's lightweight and easy to use for impromptu tasks. While you can create separate template files to use for repeated or rigorous formatting tasks, you can also simply specify a template as a command-line option, in the same vein as sed allows you to provide a simple search and replace function as an argument to perform edits (as opposed to an external sed script file).
dict.1.1.pl: dict.1.1.pl -- A command line dictionary that uses the aonaware.com dictionary webservice.
dircmp-1.1: dircmp-1.1 -- Compare *.c *.cc *.h *.tcl files in two directories.
Help CVS users manage branches. Report the source code files that are different in two directories. Report the files existing in dir1 but missing from dir2.
distinct-0.1: distinct-0.1 -- Prints to STDOUT a sorted list of items followed by a comma then followed by the number of instances of that item. In fairness it is only a wrapped implementation of a counter using a simple hash.
dont-guess-benchmark-it-0.0.7.pl: dont-guess-benchmark-it - generator of Perl code snippets benchmarks
Generate your MBenchmark code quickly. That's generator -- it doesn't benchmark itself.
As requested by certain authorites, Perl developer shouldn't guess ("citation needed" (TM)). While I believe that quote has much wider scope, dont-guess-benchmark-it.pl (hereafter -- dgbi) concentrates only on Benchmark.pm. dgbi by itself doesn't run any tests -- it's a plain generator of Perl code. The generated code must be in strict.pm and warnings.pm domain -- that's implied explicitly in the generated code. Providing that strict/warnings clean code is your responcibility. If you need funny tricks originated from Perl4 then you've picked wrong tool. Although, taint checks aren't enabled.
drw_monitor-0.51.pl: drw_monitor - Report when an NT box crashes by watching the size of the Dr Watson log.
Monitors your Dr. Watson log, for the purpose of detecting crashes. It will send out email and/or alpha page notification of these crashed. Can be run as an NT service.
It is rather difficult to tell, sometimes, when an application has crashed on an NT machine without actually looking at the screen. You can try to ping, or even establish socket connections, but these can produce misleading results. If you have Dr Watson installed, you can use this script to monitor the size of the Dr Watson log, and send you email when there is a crash, or send an alpha page.
Dupie-1.4.pl: dupie - Provides a Tk-based piechart browser to UNIX directories.
Dupie has two panes: A pie chart indicating the filesystem occupancy of elements below a directory and a hierachical list pane for navigating. In fact, the pie segments are sensitive to mouse clicks, so the piechart also has an active function too. Additionally, there are four buttons.

editLargefile-1.0.pl: editLargefile.pl - Edit files of size greater than 2.8 GB
editLargefile.pl is a window based editor with all the editing capabilities a TextUndo text widget has. This editor is recomended for editing a file of size more than 2.8 GB. Such large file(1) cannot be handled by editors which come with the UNIX(1) standard installation. Ideal for editing files which are generated by some EDA tools. e.g DSPF or SPEF file which contains the parasitic information of a hardware design.
editLargefile-1.0w.pl: editLargefile.pl - Edit files of size greater than 2.8 GB
editLargefile.pl is a window based editor with all the editing capabilities a TextUndo text widget has. This editor is recomended for editing a file of size more than 2.8 GB.
editLargefile.pl uses sysread and syswrite system calls which makes it very efficient. At startup, it creates a .largefile.rc file which contains information about the default settings which a user wishes to use. The opened file is split into smaller chunks of data, which are displayed on a TextUndo widget. When the editing is complete, the user only has to save the chunk which has been modified and not the whole file, which drastically reduces the file saving time. The user can browse through the pages(chunks) serially or can jump directly to the page to be edited. Additionally, all the editing can be un-done or re-done at any point.
eml-0.4.pl: eml.pl - send an email after a custom command is executed.
eml.pl wraps a user-defined command and, upon completion, sends a email with statistics, diagnostics (return value, kill signal, duration,...) and output and/or errors.

eve is console reminder which shows description of future events. It may be used in ~/.bashrc file (with color mode) or in crontab to get notification by mail.
exgen_1_0.pl: Exgen 1.0 -- A script to generate an XML parser from an XML document instance.
Exgen takes an XML document instance and creates a 'stubs' style XML parser from it. This parser may then be adapted as necessary. This greatly reduces the work needed in to create an XML parser. Exgen is also useful where there is no access to the relevant DTD or schema.
The design objective of Exgen is that it is less tedious to delete callbacks that are not needed than to generate them by hand.
Exgen may also be a help for novice XML parser writers.
extract-form: extract-form -- HTML form rewriter for command line or CGI use
This script will fetch an HTML page via HTTP and extract all the forms out of it. The forms will be rewritten to expose all hidden inputs, etc, so that random values can be substituted in. Also Javascript in the page to verify inputs, etc, will be stripped. Useful for seeing how CGI programs deal with non-sanctioned input.
During the course of rewriting the forms the script will convert <SELECT> tags, <INPUT TYPE=RADIO>, <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX> and <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN> to <INPUT TYPE=TEXT>. The <OPTION>tags inside a <SELECT> will be displayed. (All radio buttons after the first in a series will be displayed rather than converted: one value for the set would be sent by a browser.)

filelogger-1.4: filelogger -c config.rc <& error.log
This program analyses changes in files and directories in monitored directory trees (@dirList) between consecutive runs of the program and appends a report to a file specified by $baseLog. It does so by storing the state of the files and directories in @dirList in a file specified by $lastLog, each time the program runs. Whereas the file specified by $baseLog is meant to be examined by the user, the file specified by $lastLog is for internal consumption only. The program reports which files and directories have been created, deleted or modified. Changes to the following attributes of files are monitored: mode, user, group, size, and mtime.
Configuration information is provided in a separate file that must be specified using the -c command-line option, e.g. filelogger -c filelogger.rc
filemail_3.04.pl: filemail - an email utility for large binary files.
filemail breaks an input stream into parts, then encodes each part and emails it to designated recipients.
This is a simple utility for emailing large binary files. An input stream is broken into parts, and each part is encoded for transmission to one or more email addresses.
Base64 encoding is used for efficiency, and an option is available to change the default part size.

The purpose of all this is to allow Perl to be upgraded without breaking too many installed Perl programs.
fixlog-3.2.0.pl: fixlog.pl - fix the Apache logs and count the URL's.
This program is designed to clean out the extraneous information from an Apache log file It is suggested that you run it as a cron script with apache turned off. Turning Apache off is essential as Apache will just continue it's log file from the location it ended up at and you'll have a whole lot of nulls in the resulting file if it's left on. The program usually runs for about 10-30 seconds max with 3 log files to process, much shorter with only one log to process.

ip2host-0.06.pl: ip2host-0.06.pl -- Resolve IPs to hostnames in web server logs.
This script is a drop-in replacement for the logresolve.pl script distributed with the Apache web server.
ip2host has the same basic design of forking children to handle the DNS resolution in parallel, but multiplexes the communication to minimize the impact of slow responses. This results in a significant speed improvement (approximately 10x faster), and the performance degrades more gracefully as the DNS timeout value is increased.
ipinfo.pl: ipinfo.pl -- It's nothing special, but it makes my life easier. It's good for getting info out of logs of various network-related services such as ftp, mail or dom logs. Also I find it fairly handy for parsing out netstat as well.

This script does not use anything OS specific so it should work on non-OSes like Windows too.
junkFilter-0.3: junkFilter-0.3 -- Junk mail filter.
Junk mail filter. Designed to be used in conjunction with procmail, but not necessarily restricted to it. Based on a Bayesian Heuristic (yawn), it builds a database of good and junk words, with associated probabilities and processes messages against the database to determine if they are junk mail or not.
justify-1.2: Justifies text, left align, ragged right.
kat.pl-1.03: kat.pl-1.03 -- File encryption (with compression) using keyset files which provide a very large number of one-time use keys.
This program encrypts/decrypts a file using a key selected from a keyset file. This file will be compressed before encryption and decompressed after decryption.

mirror-1.20: mirror-1.20 -- Script for maintaining an easily configurable mirrored backup of directories.
This script was written in order to facilitate the backing up of 300Gb data spread over 15 harddisks on as many machines. Until then (pre 2002), I had been using DVD-RAMs to back up selected portions of the data, but by late 2001, the cost/Gb for harddisks was almost on par with that for DVD-RAMs. Consequently, the idea of automatically mirroring a harddisk (or some of the contents thereof) onto another one became far more appealing than manually backing up data onto DVD-RAMs. Both Windows 2000 and True64 Unix provide support for mirroring harddisks but this requires that virtual drives and volume are enabled which is not the case in my computing environment. Furthermore, these systems usually indisciminately mirror whole volumes whereas, I wanted to be able to pick-and-choose the files that I wanted mirrored (or exclude those I didnt) using reg-exp filters. Finally, I wanted to be able to enforce a size limit for the mirror without requiring it to span a whole volume.

mirror-tightwad-0.2: mirror-tightwad-0.2 -- Create a subset of a mirror.
mirror-tightwad is a utility to mirror only a subset of a large site. The goal is to save hard disk space by only mirroring what you want. mirror-tightwad is designed to be a pre-processor for rsync. First you run mirror-tightwad, then you run rsync (or wget, etc.).
The first argument is a URL for the remote server. Currently only ftp is supported. The second argument is the local mirror directory.
By default, mirror-tightwad assumes you are a total tightwad, and will not mirror anything at all. You have to explicitly ask for recursion, and provide regular expressions to match against the files you want to grab. See PATTERNS.

shroud-1.0: shroud-1.0 -- Make the source code of a Perl program unreadable.
The distribution of a commercial Perl script poses a problem to developers in that the source code is, by default, available to anyone using the code. Even with a strong licensing agreement, developers risk their intellectual property being taken and used in the development of other codes. Solutions exist for encrypting Perl code or compiling it to byte-code prior to distribution but these have their own problems. They may not permit POD documentation to be included in the files and they may remove or obfuscate comments in the code related to copyright and licensing issues.
This program provides an alternative approach in that it transforms your nicely written and formatted Perl code into something that is virtually unreadable while still retaining all of the functionality of your code. It does this by replacing variable names, declared with 'my' statements, with arbitrary names and then by stripping extraneous whitespace and comments.
shufflemp3-0.8.pl: shufflemp3-0.8.pl -- A shuffle-player for mp3-files (for Linux-terminals).
shufflemp3.pl (Linux only) searches in and below the current working directory for files ending with ".mp3", ".MP3", ".Mp3" or ".mP3" and plays them as mp3s with the external command "mpg123" in random order, looping.

spar-1.0: spar-1.0 -- Simple Perl ARchive manager.
Creates or extracts a poor man's archive. Especially when containing lots of small files it can be by a factor smaller than a tar. Newlines are extracted in what Perl considers the local format. Due to this, spars with binary files are not portable to systems with different newline conventions.
Unlike tar it does not strip a leading / from filenames. If you want to do that, you must call spar in the root directory and give it relative paths.
Since everything becomes one text, this can be used for renaming files along with their content (refactoring). Such a need may arise in programming, where directory and file names will often reflect the packages or classes they contain. But from an operating system point of view, you modify these aspects in very different ways (e.g. mv and emacs).
Unlike one of the two par utilities available on the internet, the content here is completely separated from the extraction-code in Perl. (The other par is only a Perl frontend to zip.).
spar-1.1: spar-1.1 -- Simple Perl ARchive manager.
