+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.
