Information for p5-Archie-1.5: Comment: Perl5 module to make Archie queries via Prospero requests Description: The Archie module finds files available via anonymous ftp by making requests to an Archie server. The package communicates with the Archie server via the Prospero protocol, which is layered on the Asynchronous Reliable Delivery Protocol, which is layered on UDP. The usual entry point is Archie::archie_request, which takes arguments similar to the Unix archie command-line client, and returns an array of hash references which point to the returned data. The routine Archie::archie_cancel cancels the request on the server; this stops the server from sending packets to a canceled client process. This release is $Revision: 1.5 $.
