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. + |
