Xplanet was inspired by Xearth, which renders an image of the earth into the X
root window. Xplanet uses the Imlib library to read user supplied maps of the
earth (or another planet). Orthographic and mercator projections can be
rendered to the root window or saved to a file. An image that the user can
rotate interactively can be popped up in a window using OpenGL or Mesa.
POE::Component::Client::DNS is an event driven wrapper for
Net::DNS::Resolver. It accepts events containing Net::DNS::Resolver
questions, and it emits events carrying Net::DNS::Packet responses.
Xscribble is an X application that allows a user of a touch screen to
input characters into X applications, using a uni-stroke (graffiti like)
alphabet.

POE::Component::Pcap provides a wrapper for using the Net::Pcap module
from POE programs. The component creates a separate session which posts
events to a specified session and state when packets are available.
"NetPacket" provides a base class for a cluster of modules related to
decoding and encoding of network protocols. Each "NetPacket" descendent
module knows how to encode and decode packets for the network protocol
it implements. Consult the documentation for the module in question for
protocol-specific implementation.
POE::Component::Server::FTP is an event driven FTP server backed by a
virtual filesystem interface as implemented by Filesys::Virtual

POE is a framework for cooperative, event driven multitasking in Perl.
Other languages have similar frameworks. Python has Twisted. TCL has
"the event loop".
POE originally was developed as the core of a persistent object server and
runtime environment. It has evolved into a general purpose multitasking and
networking framework, encompassing and providing a consistent interface to
other event loops such as Event and the Tk and Gtk toolkits.

OCaml-RSS is a library to parse RSS 2.0 files (which are XML files)
and build a structure representing the document. Some functions
are also provided to print RSS documents from the structure.
The parser tries also to parse some RDF files, but many fields of
these RDF files are not taken into account.

Xml Light is a minimal Xml parser & printer for OCaml. It provides
a few functions to parse a basic Xml document into an OCaml data
structure and to print back the data structures to an Xml document.
Xml Light has also support for DTD (Document Type Definition).
