+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::Cmd - Network Command class (as used by FTP, SMTP etc)
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Net::Cmd;
+    
+    @ISA = qw(Net::Cmd);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<Net::Cmd> is a collection of methods that can be inherited by a sub class
+of C<IO::Handle>. These methods implement the functionality required for a
+command based protocol, for example FTP and SMTP.
+
+=head1 USER METHODS
+
+These methods provide a user interface to the C<Net::Cmd> object.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item debug ( VALUE )
+
+Set the level of debug information for this object. If C<VALUE> is not given
+then the current state is returned. Otherwise the state is changed to 
+C<VALUE> and the previous state returned. If C<VALUE> is C<undef> then
+the debug level will be set to the default debug level for the class.
+
+This method can also be called as a I<static> method to set/get the default
+debug level for a given class.
+
+=item message ()
+
+Returns the text message returned from the last command
+
+=item code ()
+
+Returns the 3-digit code from the last command. If a command is pending
+then the value 0 is returned
+
+=item ok ()
+
+Returns non-zero if the last code value was greater than zero and
+less than 400. This holds true for most command servers. Servers
+where this does not hold may override this method.
+
+=item status ()
+
+Returns the most significant digit of the current status code. If a command
+is pending then C<CMD_PENDING> is returned.
+
+=item datasend ( DATA )
+
+Send data to the remote server, delimiting lines with CRLF. Any lin starting
+with a '.' will be prefixed with another '.'.
+
+=item dataend ()
+
+End the sending of data to the remote server. This is done by ensureing that
+the data already sent ends with CRLF then sending '.CRLF' to end the
+transmission. Once this data has been sent C<dataend> calls C<response> and
+returns true if C<response> returns CMD_OK.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 CLASS METHODS
+
+These methods are not intended to be called by the user, but used or 
+over-ridden by a sub-class of C<Net::Cmd>
+
+=over 4
+
+=item debug_print ( DIR, TEXT )
+
+Print debugging information. C<DIR> denotes the direction I<true> being
+data being sent to the server. Calls C<debug_text> before printing to
+STDERR.
+
+=item debug_text ( TEXT )
+
+This method is called to print debugging information. TEXT is
+the text being sent. The method should return the text to be printed
+
+This is primarily meant for the use of modules such as FTP where passwords
+are sent, but we do not want to display them in the debugging information.
+
+=item command ( CMD [, ARGS, ... ])
+
+Send a command to the command server. All arguments a first joined with
+a space character and CRLF is appended, this string is then sent to the
+command server.
+
+Returns undef upon failure
+
+=item unsupported ()
+
+Sets the status code to 580 and the response text to 'Unsupported command'.
+Returns zero.
+
+=item responce ()
+
+Obtain a responce from the server. Upon success the most significant digit
+of the status code is returned. Upon failure, timeout etc., I<undef> is
+returned.
+
+=item parse_response ( TEXT )
+
+This method is called by C<response> as a method with one argument. It should
+return an array of 2 values, the 3-digit status code and a flag which is true
+when this is part of a multi-line response and this line is not the list.
+
+=item getline ()
+
+Retreive one line, delimited by CRLF, from the remote server. Returns I<undef>
+upon failure.
+
+B<NOTE>: If you do use this method for any reason, please remember to add
+some C<debug_print> calls into your method.
+
+=item ungetline ( TEXT )
+
+Unget a line of text from the server.
+
+=item read_until_dot ()
+
+Read data from the remote server until a line consisting of a single '.'.
+Any lines starting with '..' will have one of the '.'s removed.
+
+Returns a reference to a list containing the lines, or I<undef> upon failure.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXPORTS
+
+C<Net::Cmd> exports six subroutines, five of these, C<CMD_INFO>, C<CMD_OK>,
+C<CMD_MORE>, C<CMD_REJECT> and C<CMD_ERROR> ,correspond to possible results
+of C<response> and C<status>. The sixth is C<CMD_PENDING>.

+
+Using various methods B<attempt> to find the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)

+
+Each of the functions will return I<undef> if the FQDN cannot be determined.
+

+
+Identify and return the FQDN of the current host.
+
+=item hostname ()
+
+Returns the smallest part of the FQDN which can be used to identify the host.
+
+=item hostdomain ()
+
+Returns the remainder of the FQDN after the I<hostname> has been removed.

+    $smtp  = Net::SMTP->new('localhost', Port => $inetd->port);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<Net::DummyInetd> is just what it's name says, it is a dummy inetd server.
+Creation of a C<Net::DummyInetd> will cause a child process to be spawned off
+which will listen to a socket. When a connection arrives on this socket
+the specified command is fork'd and exec'd with STDIN and STDOUT file
+descriptors duplicated to the new socket.
+
+This package was added as an example of how to use C<Net::SMTP> to connect
+to a C<sendmail> process, which is not the default, via SIDIN and STDOUT.
+A C<Net::Inetd> package will be avaliable in the next release of C<libnet>
+
+=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
+
+=over 4
+
+=item new ( CMD )
+
+Creates a new object and spawns a child process which listens to a socket.
+C<CMD> is a list, which will be passed to C<exec> when a new process needs
+to be created.

 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
 C<Net::FTP> is a class implementing a simple FTP client in Perl as described
 in RFC959
 
-=head2 TO BE CONTINUED ...
+C<Net::FTP> provides methods that will perform various operations. These methods
+could be split into groups depending the level of interface the user requires.
 
-=cut
+=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
 
-require 5.001;
-use Socket 1.3;
-use Carp;
-use Net::Socket;
+=over 4
 
-@ISA = qw(Net::Socket);
+=item new (HOST [,OPTIONS])
 
-$VERSION = sprintf("%d.%02d", q$Revision: 1.18 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/);
-sub Version { $VERSION }
+This is the constructor for a new Net::SMTP object. C<HOST> is the
+name of the remote host to which a FTP connection is required.
 
-use strict;
+C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fasion, using key and value pairs.
+Possible options are:
+
+B<Firewall> - The name of a machine which acts as a FTP firewall. This can be
+overridden by an environment variable C<FTP_FIREWALL>. If specified, and the
+given host cannot be directly connected to, then the
+connection is made to the firwall machine and the string C<@hostname> is
+appended to the login identifier.
+
+B<Port> - The port number to connect to on the remote machine for the
+FTP connection
+
+B<Timeout> - Set a timeout value (defaults to 120)
+
+B<Debug> - Debug level
+
+B<Passive> - If set to I<true> then all data transfers will be done using 
+passive mode. This is required for some I<dumb> servers.
+
+=back
 
 =head1 METHODS
 
-All methods return 0 or undef upon failure
+Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a I<true> or I<false>
+value, with I<true> meaning that the operation was a success. When a method
+states that it returns a value, falure will be returned as I<undef> or an
+empty list.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item login ([LOGIN [,PASSWORD [, ACCOUNT] ] ])
+
+Log into the remote FTP server with the given login information. If
+no arguments are given then the C<Net::FTP> uses the C<Net::Netrc>
+package to lookup the login information for the connected host.
+If no information is found then a login of I<anonymous> is used.
+If no password is given and the login is I<anonymous> then the users
+Email address will be used for a password.
+
+If the connection is via a firewall then the C<authorize> method will
+be called with no arguments.
+
+=item authorize ( [AUTH [, RESP]])
+
+This is a protocol used by some firewall ftp proxies. It is used
+to authorise the user to send data out.  If both arguments are not specified
+then C<authorize> uses C<Net::Netrc> to do a lookup.
+
+=item type (TYPE [, ARGS])
+
+This method will send the TYPE command to the remote FTP server
+to change the type of data transfer. The return value is the previous
+value.
+
+=item ascii ([ARGS]) binary([ARGS]) ebcdic([ARGS]) byte([ARGS])
+
+Synonyms for C<type> with the first arguments set correctly
+
+B<NOTE> ebcdic and byte are not fully supported.
+
+=item rename ( OLDNAME, NEWNAME )
+
+Rename a file on the remote FTP server from C<OLDNAME> to C<NEWNAME>. This
+is done by sending the RNFR and RNTO commands.
+
+=item delete ( FILENAME )
+
+Send a request to the server to delete C<FILENAME>.
+
+=item cwd ( [ DIR ] )
+
+Change the current working directory to C<DIR>, or / if not given.
+
+=item cdup ()
+
+Change directory to the parent of the current directory.
+
+=item pwd ()
+
+Returns the full pathname of the current directory.
+
+=item rmdir ( DIR )
+
+Remove the directory with the name C<DIR>.
+
+=item mkdir ( DIR [, RECURSE ])
+
+Create a new directory with the name C<DIR>. If C<RECURSE> is I<true> then
+C<mkdir> will attempt to create all the directories in the given path.
+
+Returns the full pathname to the new directory.
+
+=item ls ( [ DIR ] )
+
+Get a directory listing of C<DIR>, or the current directory.
+
+Returns a reference to a list of lines returned from the server.
+
+=item dir ( [ DIR ] )
+
+Get a directory listing of C<DIR>, or the current directory in long format.
+
+Returns a reference to a list of lines returned from the server.
+
+=item get ( REMOTE_FILE [, LOCAL_FILE ] )
+
+Get C<REMOTE_FILE> from the server and store locally. C<LOCAL_FILE> may be
+a filename or a filehandle. If not specified the the file will be stored in
+the current directory with the same leafname as the remote file.
+
+Returns C<LOCAL_FILE>, or the generated local file name if C<LOCAL_FILE>
+is not given.
+
+=item put ( LOCAL_FILE [, REMOTE_FILE ] )
+
+Put a file on the remote server. C<LOCAL_FILE> may be a name or a filehandle.
+If C<LOCAL_FILE> is a filehandle then C<REMOTE_FILE> must be specified. If
+C<REMOTE_FILE> is not specified then the file will be stored in the current
+directory with the same leafname as C<LOCAL_FILE>.
+
+Returns C<REMOTE_FILE>, or the generated remote filename if C<REMOTE_FILE>
+is not given.
+
+=item put_unique ( LOCAL_FILE [, REMOTE_FILE ] )
+
+Same as put but uses the C<STOU> command.
+
+Returns the name of the file on the server.
+
+=item append ( LOCAL_FILE [, REMOTE_FILE ] )
+
+Same as put but appends to the file on the remote server.
+
+Returns C<REMOTE_FILE>, or the generated remote filename if C<REMOTE_FILE>
+is not given.
+
+=item unique_name ()
+
+Returns the name of the last file stored on the server using the
+C<STOU> command.
+
+=item mdtm ( FILE )
+
+Returns the I<modification time> of the given file
+
+=item size ( FILE )
+
+Returns the size in bytes for the given file.
+
+=back
+
+The following methods can return different results depending on
+how they are called. If the user explicitly calls either
+of the C<pasv> or C<port> methods then these methods will
+return a I<true> or I<false> value. If the user does not
+call either of these methods then the result will be a
+reference to a C<Net::FTP::dataconn> based object.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item nlst ( [ DIR ] )
+
+Send a C<NLST> command to the server, with an optional parameter.
+
+=item list ( [ DIR ] )
+
+Same as C<nlst> but using the C<LIST> command
+
+=item retr ( FILE )
+
+Begin the retrieval of a file called C<FILE> from the remote server.
+
+=item stor ( FILE )
+
+Tell the server that you wish to store a file. C<FILE> is the
+name of the new file that should be created.
+
+=item stou ( FILE )
+
+Same as C<stor> but using the C<STOU> command. The name of the unique
+file which was created on the server will be avalaliable via the C<unique_name>
+method after the data connection has been closed.
+
+=item appe ( FILE )
+
+Tell the server that we want to append some data to the end of a file
+called C<FILE>. If this file does not exist then create it.
+
+=back
+
+If for some reason you want to have complete control over the data connection,
+this includes generating it and calling the C<response> method when required,
+then the user can use these methods to do so.
+
+However calling these methods only affects the use of the methods above that
+can return a data connection. They have no effect on methods C<get>, C<put>,
+C<put_unique> and those that do not require data connections.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item port ( [ PORT ] )
+
+Send a C<PORT> command to the server. If C<PORT> is specified then it is sent
+to the server. If not the a listen socket is created and the correct information
+sent to the server.
+
+=item pasv ()
+
+Tell the server to go into passive mode. Returns the text that represents the
+port on which the server is listening, this text is in a suitable form to
+sent to another ftp server using the C<port> method.
+
+=back
 
-=head2 * new($host [, option => value [,...]] )
+The following methods can be used to transfer files between two remote
+servers, providing that these two servers can connect directly to each other.
 
-Constructor for the FTP client. It will create the connection to the
-remote host. Possible options are:
+=over 4
 
- Port	 => port to use for FTP connection
- Timeout => set timeout value (defaults to 120)
- Debug	 => debug level
+=item pasv_xfer ( SRC_FILE, DEST_SERVER [, DEST_FILE ] )
+
+This method will do a file transfer between two remote ftp servers. If
+C<DEST_FILE> is omitted then the leaf name of C<SRC_FILE> will be used.
+
+=item pasv_wait ( NON_PASV_SERVER )
+
+This method can be used to wait for a transfer to complete between a passive
+server and a non-passive server. The method should be called on the passive
+server with the C<Net::FTP> object for the non-passive server passed as an
+argument.
+
+=item abort ()
+
+Abort the current data transfer.
+
+=item quit ()
+
+Send the QUIT command to the remote FTP server and close the socket connection.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Methods for the adventurous
+
+C<Net::FTP> inherits from C<Net::Cmd> so methods defined in C<Net::Cmd> may
+be used to send commands to the remote FTP server.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item quot (CMD [,ARGS])
+
+Send a command, that Net::FTP does not directly support, to the remote
+server and wait for a response.
+
+Returns most significant digit of the response code.
+
+B<WARNING> This call should only be used on commands that do not require
+data connections. Misuse of this method can hang the connection.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 THE dataconn CLASS
+
+Some of the methods defined in C<Net::FTP> return an object which will
+be derived from this class.The dataconn class itself is derived from
+the C<IO::Socket::INET> class, so any normal IO operations can be performed.
+However the following methods are defined in the dataconn class and IO should
+be performed using these.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item read ( BUFFER, SIZE [, TIMEOUT ] )
+
+Read C<SIZE> bytes of data from the server and place it into C<BUFFER>, also
+performing any <CRLF> translation necessary. C<TIMEOUT> is optional, if not
+given the the timeout value from the command connection will be used.
+
+Returns the number of bytes read before any <CRLF> translation.
+
+=item write ( BUFFER, SIZE [, TIMEOUT ] )
+
+Write C<SIZE> bytes of data from C<BUFFER> to the server, also
+performing any <CRLF> translation necessary. C<TIMEOUT> is optional, if not
+given the the timeout value from the command connection will be used.
+
+Returns the number of bytes written before any <CRLF> translation.
+
+=item abort ()
+
+Abort the current data transfer.
+
+=item close ()
+
+Close the data connection and get a response from the FTP server. Returns
+I<true> if the connection was closed sucessfully and the first digit of
+the response from the server was a '2'.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::NNTP - NNTP Client class
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Net::NNTP;
+    
+    $nntp = Net::NNTP->new("some.host.name");
+    $nntp->quit;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<Net::NNTP> is a class implementing a simple NNTP client in Perl as described
+in RFC977. C<Net::NNTP> inherits its communication methods from C<Net::Cmd>
+
+=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
+
+=over 4
+
+=item new ( [ HOST ] [, OPTIONS ])
+
+This is the constructor for a new Net::NNTP object. C<HOST> is the
+name of the remote host to which a NNTP connection is required. If not
+given two environment variables are checked, first C<NNTPSERVER> then
+C<NEWSHOST>, if neither are set C<news> is used.
+
+C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fasion, using key and value pairs.
+Possible options are:
+
+B<Timeout> - Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the
+NNTP server, a value of zero will cause all IO operations to block.
+(default: 120)
+
+B<Debug> - Enable the printing of debugging information to STDERR
+
+=back
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a I<true> or I<false>
+value, with I<true> meaning that the operation was a success. When a method
+states that it returns a value, falure will be returned as I<undef> or an
+empty list.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item article ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ] )
+
+Retreive the header, a blank line, then the body (text) of the
+specified article. 
+
+If no arguments are passed then the current aricle in the current
+newsgroup is returned.
+
+C<MSGNUM> is a numeric id of an article in the
+current newsgroup, and will change the current article pointer.
+C<MSGID> is the message id of an article as
+shown in that article's header.  It is anticipated that the client
+will obtain the C<MSGID> from a list provided by the C<newnews>
+command, from references contained within another article, or from
+the message-id provided in the response to some other commands.
+
+Returns a reference to an array containing the article.
+
+=item body ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ] )
+
+Retreive the body (text) of the specified article. 
+
+Takes the same arguments as C<article>
+
+Returns a reference to an array containing the body of the article.
+
+=item head ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ] )
+
+Retreive the header of the specified article. 
+
+Takes the same arguments as C<article>
+
+Returns a reference to an array containing the header of the article.
+
+=item nntpstat ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ] )
+
+The C<nntpstat> command is similar to the C<article> command except that no
+text is returned.  When selecting by message number within a group,
+the C<nntpstat> command serves to set the "current article pointer" without
+sending text.
+
+Using the C<nntpstat> command to
+select by message-id is valid but of questionable value, since a
+selection by message-id does B<not> alter the "current article pointer".
+
+Returns the message-id of the "current article".
+
+=item group ( [ GROUP ] )
+
+Set and/or get the current group. If C<GROUP> is not given then information
+is returned on the current group.
+
+In a scalar context it returns the group name.
+
+In an array context the return value is a list containing, the number
+of articles in the group, the number of the first article, the number
+of the last article and the group name.
+
+=item ihave ( MSGID [, MESSAGE ])
+
+The C<ihave> command informs the server that the client has an article
+whose id is C<MSGID>.  If the server desires a copy of that
+article, and C<MESSAGE> has been given the it will be sent.
+
+Returns I<true> if the server desires the article and C<MESSAGE> was
+successfully sent,if specified.
+
+If C<MESSAGE> is not specified then the message must be sent using the
+C<datasend> and C<dataend> methods from L<Net::Cmd>
+
+C<MESSAGE> can be either an array of lines or a reference to an array.
+
+=item last ()
+
+Set the "current article pointer" to the previous article in the current
+newsgroup.
+
+Returns the message-id of the article.
+
+=item date ()
+
+Returns the date on the remote server. This date will be in a UNIX time
+format (seconds since 1970)
+
+=item postok ()
+
+C<postok> will return I<true> if the servers initial response indicated
+that it will allow posting.
+
+=item authinfo ( USER, PASS )
+
+=item list ()
+
+Obtain information about all the active newsgroups. The results is a reference
+to a hash where the key is a group name and each value is a reference to an
+array. The elements in this array are:- the first article number in the group,
+the last article number in the group and any information flags about the group.
+
+=item newgroups ( SINCE [, DISTRIBUTIONS ])
+
+C<SINCE> is a time value and C<DISTRIBUTIONS> is either a distribution
+pattern or a reference to a list of distribution patterns.
+The result is the same as C<list>, but the
+groups return will be limited to those created after C<SINCE> and, if
+specified, in one of the distribution areas in C<DISTRIBUTIONS>. 
+
+=item newnews ( SINCE [, GROUPS [, DISTRIBUTIONS ]])
+
+C<SINCE> is a time value. C<GROUPS> is either a group pattern or a reference
+to a list of group patterns. C<DISTRIBUTIONS> is either a distribution
+pattern or a reference to a list of distribution patterns.
+
+Returns a reference to a list which contains the message-ids of all news posted
+after C<SINCE>, that are in a groups which matched C<GROUPS> and a
+distribution which matches C<DISTRIBUTIONS>.
+
+=item next ()
+
+Set the "current article pointer" to the next article in the current
+newsgroup.
+
+Returns the message-id of the article.
+
+=item post ( [ MESSAGE ] )
+
+Post a new article to the news server. If C<MESSAGE> is specified and posting
+is allowed then the message will be sent.
+
+If C<MESSAGE> is not specified then the message must be sent using the
+C<datasend> and C<dataend> methods from L<Net::Cmd>
+
+C<MESSAGE> can be either an array of lines or a reference to an array.
+
+=item slave ()
+
+Tell the remote server that I am not a user client, but probably another
+news server.
+
+=item quit ()
+
+Quit the remote server and close the socket connection.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Extension methods
+
+These methods use commands that are not part of the RFC977 documentation. Some
+servers may not support all of them.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item newsgroups ( [ PATTERN ] )
+

+
+=item MESSAGE-RANGE
+
+C<MESSAGE-RANGE> is either a single message-id, a single mesage number, or
+two message numbers.
+
+If C<MESSAGE-RANGE> is two message numbers and the second number in a
+range is less than or equal to the first then the range represents all
+messages in the group after the first message number.
+
+=item PATTERN
+
+The C<NNTP> protocol uses the C<WILDMAT> format for patterns.
+The WILDMAT format was first developed by Rich Salz based on
+the format used in the UNIX "find" command to articulate
+file names. It was developed to provide a uniform mechanism
+for matching patterns in the same manner that the UNIX shell
+matches filenames.
+
+Patterns are implicitly anchored at the
+beginning and end of each string when testing for a match.
+
+There are five pattern matching operations other than a strict
+one-to-one match between the pattern and the source to be
+checked for a match.
+
+The first is an asterisk C<*> to match any sequence of zero or more
+characters.
+
+The second is a question mark C<?> to match any single character. The
+third specifies a specific set of characters.
+
+The set is specified as a list of characters, or as a range of characters
+where the beginning and end of the range are separated by a minus (or dash)
+character, or as any combination of lists and ranges. The dash can
+also be included in the set as a character it if is the beginning
+or end of the set. This set is enclosed in square brackets. The
+close square bracket C<]> may be used in a set if it is the first
+character in the set.
+
+The fourth operation is the same as the
+logical not of the third operation and is specified the same
+way as the third with the addition of a caret character C<^> at
+the beginning of the test string just inside the open square
+bracket.
+
+The final operation uses the backslash character to
+invalidate the special meaning of the a open square bracket C<[>,
+the asterisk, backslash or the question mark. Two backslashes in
+sequence will result in the evaluation of the backslash as a
+character with no special meaning.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Examples
+
+=item C<[^]-]>
+
+matches any single character other than a close square
+bracket or a minus sign/dash.
+
+=item C<*bdc>
+
+matches any string that ends with the string "bdc"
+including the string "bdc" (without quotes).
+
+=item C<[0-9a-zA-Z]>
+
+matches any single printable alphanumeric ASCII character.
+
+=item C<a??d>
+
+matches any four character string which begins
+with a and ends with d.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::Netrc - OO interface to users netrc file
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Net::Netrc;
+    
+    $mach = Net::Netrc->lookup('some.machine');
+    $login = $mach->login;
+    ($login, $password, $account) = $mach->lpa;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<Net::Netrc> is a class implementing a simple interface to the .netrc file
+used as by the ftp program.
+
+C<Net::Netrc> also implements security checks just like the ftp program,
+these checks are, first that the .netrc file must be owned by the user and 
+second the ownership permissions should be such that only the owner has
+read and write access. If these conditions are not met then a warning is
+output and the .netrc file is not read.
+
+=head1 THE .netrc FILE
+
+The .netrc file contains login and initialization information used by the
+auto-login process.  It resides in the user's home directory.  The following
+tokens are recognized; they may be separated by spaces, tabs, or new-lines:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item machine name
+
+Identify a remote machine name. The auto-login process searches
+the .netrc file for a machine token that matches the remote machine
+specified.  Once a match is made, the subsequent .netrc tokens
+are processed, stopping when the end of file is reached or an-
+other machine or a default token is encountered.
+
+=item default
+
+This is the same as machine name except that default matches
+any name.  There can be only one default token, and it must be
+after all machine tokens.  This is normally used as:
+
+    default login anonymous password user@site
+
+thereby giving the user automatic anonymous login to machines
+not specified in .netrc.
+
+=item login name
+
+Identify a user on the remote machine.  If this token is present,
+the auto-login process will initiate a login using the
+specified name.
+
+=item password string
+
+Supply a password.  If this token is present, the auto-login
+process will supply the specified string if the remote server
+requires a password as part of the login process.
+
+=item account string
+
+Supply an additional account password.  If this token is present,
+the auto-login process will supply the specified string
+if the remote server requires an additional account password.
+
+=item macdef name
+
+Define a macro. C<Net::Netrc> only parses this field to be compatible
+with I<ftp>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
+
+The constructor for a C<Net::Netrc> object is not called new as it does not
+really create a new object. But instead is called C<lookup> as this is
+essentially what it deos.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item lookup ( MACHINE [, LOGIN ])
+
+Lookup and return a reference to the entry for C<MACHINE>. If C<LOGIN> is given
+then the entry returned will have the given login. If C<LOGIN> is not given then
+the first entry in the .netrc file for C<MACHINE> will be returned.
+
+If a matching entry cannot be found, and a default entry exists, then a
+reference to the default entry is returned.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item login ()
+
+Return the login id for the netrc entry
+
+=item password ()
+
+Return the password for the netrc entry

+Return the account information for the netrc entry
+
+=item lpa ()

+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::POP3 - Post Office Protocol 3 Client class (RFC1081)
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Net::POP3;
+    
+    # Constructors
+    $pop = Net::POP3->new('pop3host');
+    $pop = Net::POP3->new('pop3host', Timeout => 60);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module implements a client interface to the POP3 protocol, enabling
+a perl5 application to talk to POP3 servers. This documentation assumes
+that you are familiar with the POP3 protocol described in RFC1081.
+
+A new Net::POP3 object must be created with the I<new> method. Once
+this has been done, all POP3 commands are accessed via method calls
+on the object.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+    Need some small examples in here :-)
+
+=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
+
+=over 4
+
+=item new ( HOST, [ OPTIONS ] )
+
+This is the constructor for a new Net::POP3 object. C<HOST> is the
+name of the remote host to which a POP3 connection is required.
+
+C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fasion, using key and value pairs.
+Possible options are:
+
+B<Timeout> - Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the
+POP3 server (default: 120)
+
+B<Debug> - Enable debugging information
+
+=back
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a I<true> or I<false>
+value, with I<true> meaning that the operation was a success. When a method
+states that it returns a value, falure will be returned as I<undef> or an
+empty list.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item user ( USER )
+
+Send the USER command.
+
+=item pass ( PASS )
+
+Send the PASS command. Returns the number of messages in the mailbox.
+
+=item login ( [ USER [, PASS ]] )
+
+Send both the the USER and PASS commands. If C<PASS> is not given the
+C<Net::POP3> uses C<Net::Netrc> to lookup the password using the host
+and username. If the username is not specified then the current user name
+will be used.
+
+Returns the number of messages in the mailbox.
+
+=item top ( MSGNUM [, NUMLINES ] )
+
+Get the header and the first C<NUMLINES> of the body for the message
+C<MSGNUM>. Returns a reference to an array which contains the lines of text
+read from the server.
+
+=item list ( [ MSGNUM ] )
+
+If called with an argument the C<list> returns the size of the messsage
+in octets.
+
+If called without arguments the a refererence to a hash is returned. The
+keys will be the C<MSGNUM>'s of all undeleted messages and the values will
+be their size in octets.
+
+=item get ( MSGNUM )
+
+Get the message C<MSGNUM> from the remote mailbox. Returns a reference to an
+array which contains the lines of text read from the server.
+
+=item last ()
+
+Returns the highest C<MSGNUM> of all the messages accessed.
+
+=item popstat ()
+
+Returns an array of two elements. These are the number of undeleted
+elements and the size of the mbox in octets.
+
+=item delete ( MSGNUM )
+
+Mark message C<MSGNUM> to be deleted from the remote mailbox. All messages
+that are marked to be deleted will be removed from the remote mailbox
+when the server connection closed.
+
+=item reset ()
+
+Reset the status of the remote POP3 server. This includes reseting the
+status of all messages to not be deleted.
+
+=item quit ()
+
+Quit and close the connection to the remote POP3 server. Any messages marked
+as deleted will be deleted from the remote mailbox.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+If a C<Net::POP3> object goes out of scope before C<quit> method is called
+then the C<reset> method will called before the connection is closed. This
+means that any messages marked to be deleted will not be.

+
+This example sends a small message to the postmaster at the SMTP server
+known as mailhost:
+
+    #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
+    
+    use Net::SMTP;
+    
+    $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost');

+=over 4
+
+=item new ( HOST, [ OPTIONS ] )
+
+This is the constructor for a new Net::SMTP object. C<HOST> is the
+name of the remote host to which a SMTP connection is required.
+
+C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fasion, using key and value pairs.
+Possible options are:
+
+B<Hello> - SMTP requires that you identify yourself. This option
+specifies a string to pass as your mail domain. If not
+given a guess will be taken.
+
+B<Timeout> - Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the
+SMTP server (default: 120)
+
+B<Debug> - Enable debugging information
+
+
+Example:
+
+
+    $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost',
+			   Hello => 'my.mail.domain'
+			  );
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a I<true> or I<false>

+=item send_and_mail ( ADDRESS )
+
+Send the appropriate command to the server MAIL, SEND, SOML or SAML. C<ADDRESS>
+is the address of the sender. This initiates the sending of a message. The
+method C<recipient> should be called for each address that the message is to
+be sent to.
+
+=item reset ()
+
+Reset the status of the server. This may be called after a message has been 
+initiated, but before any data has been sent, to cancel the sending of the
+message.
+
+=item recipient ( ADDRESS [, ADDRESS [ ...]] )
+
+Notify the server that the current message should be sent to all of the
+addresses given. Each address is sent as a separate command to the server.
+Should the sending of any address result in a failure then the
+process is aborted and a I<false> value is returned. It is up to the
+user to call C<reset> if they so desire.
+
+=item to ()
+
+A synonym for recipient
+
+=item data ( [ DATA ] )
+
+Initiate the sending of the data fro the current message. 
+
+C<DATA> may be a reference to a list or a list. If specified the contents
+of C<DATA> and a termination string C<".\r\n"> is sent to the server. And the
+result will be true if the data was accepted.
+
+If C<DATA> is not specified then the result will indicate that the server
+wishes the data to be sent. The data must then be sent using the C<datasend>
+and C<dataend> methods defined in C<Net::Cmd>.
+
+=item expand ( ADDRESS )
+
+Request the server to expand the given address Returns a reference to an array
+which contains the text read from the server.
+
+=item verify ( ADDRESS )
+
+Verify that C<ADDRESS> is a legitimate mailing address.
+
+=item help ( [ $subject ] )
+
+Request help text from the server. Returns the text or undef upon failure
+
+=item quit ()
+
+Send the QUIT command to the remote SMTP server and close the socket connection.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::SNPP - Simple Network Pager Protocol Client
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Net::SNPP;
+    
+    # Constructors
+    $snpp = Net::SNPP->new('snpphost');
+    $snpp = Net::SNPP->new('snpphost', Timeout => 60);
+
+=head1 NOTE
+
+This module is not complete, yet !
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module implements a client interface to the SNPP protocol, enabling
+a perl5 application to talk to SNPP servers. This documentation assumes
+that you are familiar with the SNPP protocol described in RFC1861.
+
+A new Net::SNPP object must be created with the I<new> method. Once
+this has been done, all SNPP commands are accessed through this object.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+This example will send a pager message in one hour saying "Your lunch is ready"
+
+    #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
+    
+    use Net::SNPP;
+    
+    $snpp = Net::SNPP->new('snpphost');
+    
+    $snpp->send( Pager   => $some_pager_number,
+	         Message => "Your lunch is ready",
+	         Alert   => 1,
+	         Hold    => time + 3600, # lunch ready in 1 hour :-)
+	       ) || die $snpp->message;
+    
+    $snpp->quit;
+
+=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
+
+=over 4
+
+=item new ( HOST, [ OPTIONS ] )
+
+This is the constructor for a new Net::SNPP object. C<HOST> is the
+name of the remote host to which a SNPP connection is required.
+
+C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fasion, using key and value pairs.
+Possible options are:
+
+B<Timeout> - Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the
+SNPP server (default: 120)
+
+B<Debug> - Enable debugging information
+
+
+Example:
+
+
+    $snpp = Net::SNPP->new('snpphost',
+			   Debug => 1,
+			  );
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a I<true> or I<false>
+value, with I<true> meaning that the operation was a success. When a method
+states that it returns a value, falure will be returned as I<undef> or an
+empty list.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item reset ()
+
+=item help ()
+
+Request help text from the server. Returns the text or undef upon failure
+
+=item quit ()
+
+Send the QUIT command to the remote SNPP server and close the socket connection.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXPORTS
+
+C<Net::SNPP> exports all that C<Net::CMD> exports, plus three more subroutines
+that can bu used to compare against the result of C<status>. These are :-
+C<CMD_2WAYERROR>, C<CMD_2WAYOK>, and C<CMD_2WAYQUEUED>.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::Telnet - Defines constants for the telnet protocol
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Telnet qw(TELNET_IAC TELNET_DO TELNET_DONT);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module is B<VERY> preliminary as I am not 100% sure how it should
+be implemented.
+
+Currently it just exports constants used in the telnet protocol.
+
+Should it contain sub's for packing and unpacking commands ?
+
+Please feel free to send me any suggestions
+
+=head1 NOTE
+
+This is not an implementation of the 'telnet' command but of the telnet
+protocol as defined in RFC854

+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);
+    
+    print inet_time('localhost');
+    print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');
+    
+    print inet_daytime('localhost');
+    print inet_daytime('localhost', 'tcp');
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<Net::Time> provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item inet_time ( HOST [, PROTOCOL])
+
+Obtain the time on C<HOST> using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The
+optional argument C<PROTOCOL> should define the protocol to use, either
+C<tcp> or C<udp>. The result will be a unix-like time value or I<undef>
+upon failure.
+
+=item inet_daytime ( HOST [, PROTOCOL])
+
+Obtain the time on C<HOST> using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The
+optional argument C<PROTOCOL> should define the protocol to use, either
+C<tcp> or C<udp>. The result will be an ASCII string or I<undef>
+upon failure.
