Net::Ident 1.23

Net::Ident is a Perl module to lookup the username on the remote end of a TCP/IP connection.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Ident;

$username = Net::Ident::lookup(SOCKET, $timeout);

$username = Net::Ident::lookupFromInAddr($localsockaddr,
$remotesockaddr, $timeout);

$obj = Net::Ident->new(SOCKET, $timeout);
$obj = Net::Ident->newFromInAddr($localsockaddr, $remotesockaddr,
$timeout);
$status = $obj->query;
$status = $obj->ready;
$username = $obj->username;
($username, $opsys, $error) = $obj->username;
$fh = $obj->getfh;
$txt = $obj->geterror;

use Net::Ident 'ident_lookup';

$username = ident_lookup(SOCKET, $timeout);

use Net::Ident 'lookupFromInAddr';

$username = lookupFromInAddr($localsockaddr, $remotesockaddr, $timeout);

use Net::Ident ':fh';

$username = SOCKET->ident_lookup($timeout);

use Net::Ident ':apache';

# my Apache $r;
$c = $r->connection;
$username = $c->ident_lookup($timeout);

OVERVIEW

Net::Ident is a module that looks up the username on the remote side of a TCP/IP connection through the ident (auth/tap) protocol described in RFC1413 (which supersedes RFC931). Note that this requires the remote site to run a daemon (often called identd) to provide the requested information, so it is not always available for all TCP/IP connections.
