| Subject: | Adding services enumeration |
Hello,
I sent you a patch to add this feature to Net::Rendezvous twice in the past two months without getting any answer, therefore I post it here for public review.
To apply this patch, untar Net-Rendezvous-0.86.tar.gz from the CPAN, then:
$ cd Net-Rendezvous-0.86
$ patch -p1 <../Net-Rendezvous-0.86+004.patch
then build the module as usual:
$ perl Makefile.PL && make && make test
What does this patch do:
- it modifies lib/Net/Rendezvous.pm to implement services enumeration. This is mainly done in the enumerate_services() function but I also added an instance() accessor to get/set the instance name of a service, and I modified others functions in order for them to accept an instance name. I also modified dns_refresh() and mdns_refresh so that they don't try to fetch information when _no_fetch is set. Of course, the documentation is included :-)
- it adds t/4-enum_services.t and updates t/2-entry.t and t/3-enterprise.t
- it adds demo/enum.pl which is a demonstration of the services enumeration. Running this program against zeroconf.org gives a nice example.
- it adds a Build.PL, and updates Makefile.PL, MANIFEST and META.yml accordingly
I have successfully tested this patch under the following systems:
- Perl 5.6.0 / Mac OS X 10.2.6
- Perl 5.8.1rc4 / Mandrake Linux 9.2
- Perl 5.8.3 / Mandrake Linux 10.0
