agent

Agent is the Transportable Agent Perl module.

SYNOPSIS

use Agent;

my $a = new Agent( Name => path_to_agent.pa, %args );

$a->run();

Agent Perl is meant to be a multi-platform interface for writing and using transportable perl agents.

A Perl Agent

Is any chunk of Perl code that can accomplish some user-defined objective by communicating with other agents, and manipulating any data it obtains.
A Perl Agent consists of a knowledge base (variables), a reasoning procedure (code), and access to one or more languages coupled with methods of communication. These languages remain largely undefined, or rather, user-defined; support for KQML/KIF is under development.

Developing An Agent

Note that the developer must devise the reasoning procedure and knowledge base described above. Agent Perl does not place any restrictions on what you may do; it only tries to make the doing part easier.

An agent is written as an inheriting sub-class of Agent. Each agents class should be stored in a .pa file (perl agent), and must contain an agent_main() method. All agents are objects. See the examples for more details, and learn how Agent.pm works so you wont step on its toes!

S-Mail Agent is a one-step email encryption plug-in for any email software such as MS Outlook, Eudora, Mozilla, Outlook Express, Pegasus, TheBat!, Netscape Mail, etc.

Email programs like Outlook are fast and easy-to-use, but they have one serious drawback - your messages are transmitted in plain text, over an open, insecure network and therefore can be read, changed and counterfeited. S-Mail Agent solves this problem - without any compromise to confidentiality, speed or comfort!

S-Mail Agent automatically configures most email programs. Less popular ones can be configured manually in one minute.

S-Mail Agent encrypts all your messages and attachments - encryption/decryption is automatic. You can also encrypt/decrypt any file on any data storage device in one-click.

Work with secure email via your favorite email software! Enjoy secure and handy email!
