* Package name : libcgi-application-plugin-ratelimit-perl Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Sam Tregar <s...@plusthree.com> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Application-Plugin-RateLimit/ * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : unknown CGI::Application::Plugin::RateLimit provides protection against a user calling a runmode too frequently. A typical use-case might be a contact form that sends email. You'd like to allow your users to send you messages, but thousands of messages from a single user would be a problem. This module works by maintaining a database of hits to protected runmodes. It then checks this database to determine if a new hit should be allowed based on past activity by the user. The user's identity is, by default, tied to login (via REMOTE_USER) or IP address (via REMOTE_IP) if login info is not available. You may provide your own identity function via the identity_callback() method. To use this module you must create a table in your database with the following schema (using MySQL-syntax, although other DBs may work as well with minor alterations): -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
