• jmake - nice Perl script that makes a Makefile for JAVA automatically - written by me - based on an idea by Samuel Oosterhuis
• logstats.pl - Perl script that parses apache httpd logfiles, look at code for flags or just use -h flag, set the environment variable APACHE_LOG to the location of the apache log file or use the -f switch to specify the log file
• killspam.pl - Perl script to look for spam in the mailq, has several switches to help you automatically deal with spam. killspam.pl -h will list the switches. This is meant for sys admins. It's only been tested on a Solaris box.
• suid.pl - create a list of set uid files on the system in your home dir. Meant for sys admins. On first run it will list all suid files to the screen and save them to $HOME/.suid_files. After that it will list the changes, ie. new suid files or removed ones.
• format.pl - Perl script that is somewhat of a standalone version of my Text::Format module. It can be used as a filter or it will open and read files from the command line. To see what all the different switches do, use the -h switch. It has a few features which Text::Format doesn't, and at the same time, it doesn't implement all the features of Text::Format. :)
• Text-Format0.52.tar.gz - Perl module that is meant to be a complement of Text::Wrap. Object oriented so it is thread safe. It doesn't die under any circumstance, unlike Text::Wrap. This is VERSION 0.52, still in beta but pretty robust and stable. If you find bugs please report them. This should be close to a release version now. Uploaded Mar. 29. Features : ability to do hanging indents, right align text, fill right side of text with spaces out to column width, read text from a filehandle and give you the formatted text, put two spaces after end of sentence, non-breaking space between words that should not have a break between them, justification of text to both margins
  Description of Format.pm
  
• Text-Format0.52+NWrap0.11.tar.gz - As above but includes Text::NWrap which has the same interface subroutine as Text::Wrap but uses Text::Format to do the actual formatting - basically a simple interface to Text::Format
• File-NCopy0.32.tar.gz - Perl module to copy a file to another or files/directories to a directory. Accepts globs (*?) as wildcards. - uploaded May 15
• File-Remove0.20.tar.gz - Perl module to remove files and directories. Accepts globs (*?). - uploaded Apr. 14
• RcParse.pm - A little module to parse rc files.
• vector.tar.gz - A little C library that implements a vector that will store pointers to your objects. You can use it as a linked list, a stack or queue. Comes with a man page in three formats, man format, html format and text format.
• hdump.tar.gz - C program that can do a hexdump among other things. Similar to od but better in my humble opinion. Look at code for flags, uses getopt.
• unixio.tar.gz - some nice C code that simulates some of the functionality of MSDOS - such as kbhit, getch - to find out more click here
• sample Makefile - give you start with your own, although this is quite useful on its own
• Ksh emulation of pushd, popd and dirs - These functions I wrote emulate the csh builtins pushd, popd and dirs. They also set the prompt to the full path or part thereof and if you use xterm, or rxvt the title bar is set to the name of the machine and the full path.
• list files by their type
• stat - print contents of struct stat. To compile just do the following. gcc configure.c -o configure; ./configure;gcc -O3 stat.c -o stat; ./stat -?
