Net::Config(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Net::Config(3pm)
NAME
Net::Config - Local configuration data for libnet
SYNOPSYS
use Net::Config qw(%NetConfig);
DESCRIPTION
"Net::Config" holds configuration data for the modules in the libnet distribuion.
During installation you will be asked for these values.
The configuration data is held globally in a file in the perl installation tree,
but a user may override any of these values by providing their own. This can be
done by having a ".libnetrc" file in their home directory. This file should return
a reference to a HASH containing the keys described below. For example
# .libnetrc
{
nntp_hosts => [ "my_prefered_host" ],
ph_hosts => [ "my_ph_server" ],
}
__END__
METHODS
"Net::Config" defines the following methods. They are methods as they are invoked
as class methods. This is because "Net::Config" inherits from "Net::LocalCfg" so
you can override these methods if you want.
requires_firewall HOST
Attempts to determine if a given host is outside your firewall. Possible return
values are.
-1 Cannot lookup hostname
0 Host is inside firewall (or there is no ftp_firewall entry)
1 Host is outside the firewall
This is done by using hostname lookup and the "local_netmask" entry in the con-
figuration data.
NetConfig VALUES
nntp_hosts
snpp_hosts
pop3_hosts
smtp_hosts
ph_hosts
daytime_hosts
time_hosts
Each is a reference to an array of hostnames (in order of preference), which
should be used for the given protocol
inet_domain
Your internet domain name
ftp_firewall
If you have an FTP proxy firewall (NOT an HTTP or SOCKS firewall) then this
value should be set to the firewall hostname. If your firewall does not listen
to port 21, then this value should be set to "hostname:port" (eg "hostname:99")
ftp_firewall_type
There are many different ftp firewall products available. But unfortunately
there is no standard for how to traverse a firewall. The list below shows the
sequence of commands that Net::FTP will use
user Username for remote host
pass Password for remote host
fwuser Username for firewall
fwpass Password for firewall
remote.host The hostname of the remote ftp server
0 There is no firewall
1
USER user AT remote.host
PASS pass
2
USER fwuser
PASS fwpass
USER user AT remote.host
PASS pass
3
USER fwuser
PASS fwpass
SITE remote.site
USER user
PASS pass
4
USER fwuser
PASS fwpass
OPEN remote.site
USER user
PASS pass
5
USER user@fwuser AT remote.site
PASS pass@fwpass
6
USER fwuser AT remote.site
PASS fwpass
USER user
PASS pass
7
USER user AT remote.host
PASS pass
AUTH fwuser
RESP fwpass
ftp_ext_passive
ftp_int_pasive
FTP servers normally work on a non-passive mode. That is when you want to
transfer data you have to tell the server the address and port to connect to.
With some firewalls this does not work as the server cannot connect to your
machine (because you are behind a firewall) and the firewall does not re-write
the command. In this case you should set "ftp_ext_passive" to a true value.
Some servers are configured to only work in passive mode. If you have one of
these you can force "Net::FTP" to always transfer in passive mode; when not
going via a firewall, by setting "ftp_int_passive" to a true value.
local_netmask
A reference to a list of netmask strings in the form "134.99.4.0/24". These
are used by the "requires_firewall" function to determine if a given host is
inside or outside your firewall.
The following entries are used during installation & testing on the libnet package
test_hosts
If true then "make test" may attempt to connect to hosts given in the configu-
ration.
test_exists
If true then "Configure" will check each hostname given that it exists
