Perl module to interface with Procmailrc files
Scott Wiersdorf (www.perlcode.org) wrote a Perl module to interface with procmailrc files. The name of the module is Mail::Procmailrc (available from CPAN). It comes with a simple CGI (unpolished, insecure, but useful as a proof-of-concept) to allow you to edit procmailrc files from a web interface. You can see an example of the script at:

http://perlcode.org/cgi-bin/procmail.cgi

With little effort, it could be modified to allow multiple recipes, header flag modifications, templatized (separate the HTML from the code itself), etc.

The module (not the CGI) has been used in production environments with thousands of users for almost a year, and Scott says he is comfortable with its stability.

io::dirent

Dirent(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       Dirent(3pm)

NAME

       IO::Dirent - Access to dirent structs returned by readdir

SYNOPSIS

	 use IO::Dirent;

	 ## slurp-style
	 opendir DIR, "/usr/local/foo";
	 my @entries = readdirent(DIR);
	 closedir DIR;

	 print $entries[0]->{name}, "
";
	 print $entries[0]->{type}, "
";
	 print $entries[0]->{inode}, "
";

	 ## using the enumerator
	 opendir DIR, "/etc";
	 while( my $entry = nextdirent(DIR) ) {
	   print $entry->{name} . "
";
	 }
	 closedir DIR;

DESCRIPTION

       readdirent returns a list of hashrefs. Each hashref contains the name of the directory entry, its inode for the filesystem it resides on
       and its type (if available). If the file type or inode are not available, it won't be there!

       nextdirent returns the next dirent as a hashref, allowing you to iterate over directory entries one by one. This may be helpful in low-
       memory situations or where you have enormous directories.

       IO::Dirent exports the following symbols by default:

	   readdirent

	   nextdirent

       The following tags may be exported to your namespace:

	   ALL

       which includes readdirent, nextdirent and the following symbols:

	   DT_UNKNOWN
	   DT_FIFO
	   DT_CHR
	   DT_DIR
	   DT_BLK
	   DT_REG
	   DT_LNK
	   DT_SOCK
	   DT_WHT

       These symbols can be used to test the file type returned by readdirent in the following manner:

	   for my $entry ( readdirent(DIR) ) {
	       next unless $entry->{'type'} == DT_LNK;

	       print $entry->{'name'} . " is a symbolic link.
";
	   }

       For platforms that do not implement file type in its dirent struct, readdirent will return a hashref with a single key/value of 'name' and
       the filename (effectively the same as readdir). This is subject to change, if I can implement some of the to do items below.

CAVEATS

       This was written on FreeBSD and OS X which implement a robust (but somewhat non-standard) dirent struct and which includes a file type
       entry. I have plans to make this module more portable and useful by doing a stat on each directory entry to find the file type and inode
       number when the dirent.h does not implement it otherwise.

       Improvements and additional ports are welcome.

TO DO

       o   For platforms that do not implement a dirent struct with file type, do a stat on the entry and populate the structure anyway.

       o   Do some memory profiling (I'm not sure if I have any leaks or not).
