CPAN Bug Tracking

Recently I have been adding my own bug list and todo list to the RT queue of my CPAN modules to track them and help me remember over a longer period of time. I also figure that if they are visible to everyone, perhaps someone may help fix or add a feature.

Nagios::Plugin::OverHTTP Planned Additions

I usually get e-mails about my Nagios::Plugin::OverHTTP asking about little things being added here and there. The last e-mail I got was from Peter van Eijk asking for support for performance data. I looked over the code and realized that it really needs some refactoring before I can easily add support for performance data, and […]

Test::Override::UserAgent

I have just uploaded a new module to the CPAN: Test::Override::UserAgent. This is geared toward developers that use LWP::UserAgent in their modules and want to easily test their code without having a live Internet connection or starting up a test server to make requests against. Just about every single module I have on the CPAN […]

WWW::USF::Directory Published

I have published my interface to the University of South Florida online directory to the CPAN as WWW::USF::Directory. This is a start to my USF-oriented modules to go up on the CPAN for public use. This module allows you to interact with the USF online directory. It can be used to make a simple directory […]

Work on Public USF Perl Modules

I am going to be publishing several of my Perl 5 modules that relate to the University of South Florida systems to the CPAN. This will allow anyone to use the modules as they please. I am planning on putting them in the namespace WWW::USF::*. I know that USF may be ambiguous, but feel it […]

HP Pavilian tx 1000 nVidia problem

This is mostly an update to my previous post on my HP Pavilian tx 1000 issues. As time goes on, the laptop won’t boot up more. Today was the worst of all, though. I have determined that the problem is the same that lots of other people are having, which is where the nVidia GPU […]

HP Pavilian tx 1000 woes

So lately when I used my HP Pavilian tx 1000 (the complete part number is GD617AV) it makes me sad because there are two big issues with it: Seemingly randomly (seems mostly when there is high network usage) the wireless network will no longer function until I reboot the laptop. This issue has persisted through […]

New Header in Nagios-Plugin-OverHTTP 0.12

In the newest version of Nagios-Plugin-OverHTTP (0.12) that was just pushed out to the CPAN, support for a new header was introduced, thanks to Alex Wollangk. The header is X-Nagios-Information and is used to contain the message for the plugin check. Why would this be wanted? Well, if added to a page, the page itself […]

Nagios::Plugin::OverHTTP 0.11

A new release of Nagios::Plugin::OverHTTP was just pushed to the CPAN. This release brings no new features, but does change what is installed. The check_over_http script is now no longer automatically installed to the bin. Also when trying to get the plugin to work under ePN in Nagios, I discovered that if some spaces are […]

Nagios::Plugin::OverHTTP 0.10

Apparently jumped the gun on the release and just added another new feature to Nagios::Plugin::OverHTTP and included it in version 0.10. The new feature is actually complementary to the previous new feature. Now if a response is received from the HTTP server that does not indicate the Nagios service status, then not only will it […]
