I would like to announce the availability of the above modules which,
pending my PAUSE account being approved (*) I will be uploading shortly.
In the meantime, source code is available at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnetraid/develop
Source code can be checked out of the subversion repository there with:
svn co https://gnetraid.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gnetraid gnetraid
The purpose of the modules is to implement Michael Rabin's Information
Dispersal Algorithm, which is a variant of Reed-Solomon codes. There are
four modules, divided into two source packages:
Math::FastGF2 performs Galois Field operations in GF(2^x)
(x=8,16,32). Uses XS for faster-than-Perl speeds
Math::FastGF2::Matrix Matrix operations for the above, with XS used for
matrix multiplications for even faster speeds
Crypt::IDA Split files into n shares, combine any k shares,
with k <= n
Crypt::IDA::ShareFile Provides a convenient file format for storing
and distributing shares.
Currently there is one released version of the Math::FastGF2 module (with
no Matrix support) in the tags/ directory of the repository, although
full source code for all the rest of the modules (not quite release
quality yet, but complete and usable) is available in the trunk/
directory for each module.
Feedback is welcome at the above-mentioned website. I understand there
are various features for doing so...

dec (aka idablack)
(*) I've been waiting for over 3 weeks now for a response on my PAUSE ID
request (for DMALONE). I can see the request in the mailing list, but all
the recently-approved accounts were requested after I made my request. I
don't know if it's normal for some accounts to be approved quicker, but
it's got me wondering if my application has been overlooked/lost somehow.
If anyone on this list is in a position to check this out for me, I would
appreciate it, as I don't want to make another request until I'm sure the
current one isn't going to be processed... |

At http://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html I see:
"Please allow three weeks for proceeding, which should be the maximum
during vacation time. Normally we hope to register you within a week."
That tells me that you're well within your rights to start making some
noise about the delay (or, as you suggest, submit another request) -
irrespective of whether it's "vacation time" or not.
Cheers,
