rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network.
The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra
reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target
directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea
is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup.
rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev files,
permissions, uid/gid ownership, modification times, extended attributes,
acls, and resource forks. Also, rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth
efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup
and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote location, and only
the differences will be transmitted. Finally, rdiff-backup is easy to
use and settings have sensical defaults.

librsync is a free software library that implements the rsync
remote-delta algorithm. This algorithm allows efficient remote updates
of a file, without requiring the old and new versions to both be present
at the sending end. The library uses a streaming design similar to that
of zlib with the aim of allowing it to be embedded into many different
applications.

Created by accident, all who find you will destroy you. Survive, grow,
and learn. Only then can you escape.
Singularity is a simulation of a true AI. Go from computer to computer,
pursued by the entire world. Keep hidden, and you might have a chance.
- better COMMENT
- fix LIB_DEPENDS
- fix the horrible location of the docs (and noone noticed?!)
- remove NO_REGRESS
- re-format DESCR
(i must say, pretty nice suite this is.)
This module aims to be a full implementation of a an object-oriented
interface to the Audioscrobbler WebService API (as available on
http://www.audioscrobbler.net/data/webservices/). The module fully
supports data caching and, thus, complies to the service's recommended
usage guides.

CLASS and $CLASS are both synonyms for __PACKAGE__. Easier to type.
$CLASS has the additional benefit of working in strings.
CLASS is a constant, not a subroutine call. $CLASS is a plain variable,
it is not tied. There is no performance loss for using CLASS over
__PACKAGE__ except the loading of the module.

like grep, aimed at programmers with large trees of heterogeneous source
code. ack is written purely in Perl, and takes advantage of the power
of Perl's regular expressions.

Wmcb is a WindowMaker dockapp that displays the current content of the
cut buffers built into every Xserver. It allows the buffers to be
manipulated with the mouse in a point and click manner.
