This module uses a Patricia Trie data structure to quickly perform
IP address prefix matching for applications such as IP subnet,
network or routing table lookups. The data structure is based on
a radix tree using a radix of two, so sometimes you see patricia
implementations called "radix" as well. The term "Trie" is derived
from the word "retrieval" but is pronounced like "try". Patricia
stands for "Practical Algorithm to Retrieve Information Coded as
Alphanumeric", and was first suggested for routing table lookups
by Van Jacobsen. Patricia Trie performance characteristics are
well-known as it has been employed for routing table lookups within
the BSD kernel since the 4.3 Reno release.
The BSD radix code is thoroughly described in "TCP/IP Illustrated,
Volume 2" by Wright and Stevens and in the paper ``A Tree-Based
Packet Routing Table for Berkeley Unix'' by Keith Sklower.

HTML::Table is used to generate HTML tables for CGI scripts. By
using the methods provided fairly complex tables can be created,
manipulated, then printed from Perl scripts. The module also greatly
simplifies creating tables within tables from Perl. It is possible
to create an entire table using the methods provided and never use
an HTML tag.
HTML::Table also allows for creating dynamically sized tables via
its addRow and addCol methods. These methods automatically resize
the table if passed more cell values than will fit in the current
table grid.
Methods are provided for nearly all valid table, row, and cell tags
specified for HTML 3.0.

Boulder IO is a simple TAG=VALUE data format designed for sharing
data between programs connected via a pipe. It is also simple
enough to use as a common data exchange format between databases,
Web pages, and other data representations.
The basic data format is very simple. It consists of a series of
TAG=VALUE pairs separated by newlines. It is record-oriented.
The end of a record is indicated by an empty delimiter alone on a
line. The delimiter is "=" by default, but can be adjusted by the
user.

- fix installation path of this perl module because this command failed:
perl -M'ConfigReader::DirectiveStyle' -e 1
ConfigReader files have to be put under
lib/perl5/site_perl/%%PERL_VER%%/
instead of
lib/perl5/site_perl/
- now my new port FlowScan finds the ConfigReader::DirectiveStyle PM.
"configure:1271: checking for ConfigReader::DirectiveStyle"
removing the symlinking of the installed shared library into the
${PREFIX}/lib. Those broken things should really use:
package require Img (from TCL)
or
Tcl_PkgRequire(interp, "Img", "1.2", 0) (from C)
instead of trying to link with libimg directly, but there are
too many of them and sobomax lost (his and mine) cool.
This version will just install the library (and SHLIB_LINK) into
${PREFIX}/lib directly. pkgIndex.tcl is modified accordingly.
Correct a typo in the iastate.edu listing. Add sites from
http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/net.html#ftp . Remove defunct sites
found by bento. Newly added ftp.questnet.net.au is untested because
it is "limited to Australian connections."
