The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Notify
DSLIP: adpOp
description: Remote user notification package
userid: MGILFIX (Michael Gilfix)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
communities:
Email, mailinglists
similar:
rationale:
CPAN does not currently feature any modules to aid developers in
creating applications that need to communicate remotely with users
(through mediums such as email or pager) where delivering and
receiving those notifications occurs asynchronously and may be
subject to long delays. This module would be of particular value to
the system administration community, as they often need to be able
to notify themselves in a reliable fashion from within scripts.
The namespace was chosen as per suggestion after a series of email
exhanges with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
The modules provide the developer with many features for user
notification, including:
* Guaranteed messaing (All notifications are written to disk before
delivery attempts and right after receipt so as to maintain state in
the event of a crash) * Framework for notification transactions (A
ticketing scheme so an app can communicate back and forth with a
user) * Framework for sending notifications through different types
of transport * Transaction history
I have often had need for modules that provide this functionality
and I believe others in the community will as well.
