Dylan William Hardison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: Haver Ain't Very Exciting, Really System name: haver Type: non-GNU Description: I have been writing a simple real(ish) time chat server, written in Perl using POE (really nice set of perl modules). I have a few reasons for doing this. Mainly I want a simple server to talk to friends with. Emphasis on simple. The protocol is just lines (CR-LF) with words seperated by tabs, and should be easy to parse in any language. A friend of mine is writing a different chat server, in perl, but it is becoming more complicated all the time... He's using XML for the protocol, and it has a plugin system that uses Inter-process communication... It's like a microkernel chat system. My system *was* working, until I ripped out the guts... I was tracking nicknames with a simple hash, and it was turning into really ugly code. Let's see... I'm calling it Haver (Hay-ver, to talk foolishly), and the server is called haver(e?)d. I started writing it several weeks ago, and it was in a workable state that same day... I know some other people that want to wrok on it, hence my want for a savannah project. http://dylan.hardison.net/haver.tar.gz is the source, such as it is. There is a Perl/Tk client that works, but the server doesn't. the perl/tk client was written by a friend of mine (in like, an hour ;) So, the goal is to have a very simple chat server, similar to IRC but with some extra admin features, with a simple protocol that so that clients can be easily written for it. Oh, and I decided to use savannah because I'm a bit paranoid about sourceforge... Other Software Required: perl v5.6 POE (server and client(s)) Tk (some client(s)) (Clients could be written in C with no dependcies beyond libc and ncurses... Though using GNet and GLib would be better...)
