#!/usr/bin/perl -w
## This script listens for a UDP message on a port containing the text "hello".
## The listener will respond back to the client with its own "hello" string.
## Clients can send messages to this listener using netcat. The following works:
## echo hello | nc -4u -w1 <listener_hostname> <listener_port>
## Substitute the hostname and port for where this listener is running from.
## Keep in mind that ports less than 1024 will require the listener to run as root.
##
## The listener does not yet take any command line options.

# This script displays all the packages installed on a RedHat/CentOS system
# with additional information about installation time sorted by most recently
# installed packages first. This is useful when looking at what packages
# were recently updated.

# This script demonstrates how to create a queue of items to work
# from and then process X number of jobs in parallel, increasing
# speed and efficiency. Adjust MAX_JOBS according to how many
# items from the queue should be ran in parallel. This script
# preloads the queue with stuff from the home directory just as
# a demonstration.
### Keep track of the number of children processing queue items

# Without parameters, the script displays the current date in three different
# formats (epoch, julian, and gregorian). Here is a example run:
#
# $ ./complicated_date.pl
# epoch: 1471012564 Fri Aug 12 10:36:04 2016
# julian: 2457613.10837963
# gregorian: 1471012564 Fri Aug 12 10:36:03 2016

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Without parameters, the script displays all the CIDRs and corresponding networks.
# The script will also demonstrate convering a netmask back into a CIDR, but it
# appears that conversion is broken and needs to be looked at.
#
# With parameters, if display network netmask, broadcast, etc info about each IP
# address provided on the command line.
#
# Ultimately, this script intends to demostrate reusable functions that can be
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Converts an IP address string to a single integer number
use strict;
sub ip_to_int ($)
{
my $addr = shift @_;
return unpack("N", pack("C4", split(/\./, $addr)));
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Converts an integer number representing an IP back into an IP address string
use strict;
sub ip_to_int ($)
{
my $addr = shift @_;
return unpack("N", pack("C4", split(/\./, $addr)));
