in thread RFC: Net::SNTP::Server v1

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for reviewing my code.

Well I am using (5.006) because in the source code of Time::HiRes, the author using this version. Since I am using the module I assumed I should not have higher version. The die syntax I picked it up from the Net::SNMP source code. I thought it is more tricky and nice to write it like this.

The only reason that I am using named subroutines, is to assist my self why I did something in future. I know that most of my functions only apply once in the code, but I assumed that this is the way to remember what I was trying to do in future.

Unused Variables such as @arraySendSntpPacket etc. could be inlined, but they help me to debug the code easier than defining all the variables one by one and printing them. Also for future when I will be updating the code it would make it easier to remember why e.g. a variable is 0 or 3 because it is li _vn_mode.

Yes I have prepared a few tests that cam to my mine with the basic version that I want to release. I am planning to release also a bit more complicated version updating the internal clock based on user preference. One step at a time.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!

    I can see how one might arrive that conclusion, but it's incorrect.
    "use 5.006;" is there to ensure that 5.006 or higher is in use - that's it's only intent.
    IMO it's an unnecessary stipulation, and it certainly doesn't mean that you should use perl 5.6.

    Cheers,
