Wed Apr 10 06:18:05 2002 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.dat: Re-version because of klutzed PAUSE upload.
Release as v1.01.
Wed Apr 10 06:18:05 2002 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.dat (BINMODE): Allow for PerlIO layers in binmode()
calls.
* Gen.xs: Update for 'loose' compiler I was using, exposed by
complaints from users. I don't think xsubpp should be re-arranging
as much as it is, which is what caused the declaration in the
middle of the block, but that's a whole different battle.
Release as v1.0.
Sat Mar 30 04:25:08 2002 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Makefile.PL: Override 'ci' rule to skip the .pm's.
* MANIFEST: Add manifake for cleaner 'ci' handling.
* Gen.dat, Gen.xs: Add AF_LOCAL & PF_LOCAL.
* all: email address updates, copyright updates, POD tweaks.
Re-version to 1.0.
Release as v0.933.
Wed Aug 2 12:42:36 2000 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>

Release as v0.932.
Wed Aug 2 12:42:36 2000 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.dat: Update @EXPORT_OK with the SO_* values,
which I'd somehow missed before. Thanks to
'"Ged the Grey's Hain" <Ged@FaerieMUD.org>' for the bug report.
Release as v0.931.
Sun Feb 20 18:40:17 2000 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* MANIFEST: re-add the lib/Net.../*.pm files for the PAUSE indexer.
* Makefile.PL (gen_pm_files): Don't push .pm files onto the
@delfiles array, or they won't be in the kit to be indexed
by PAUSE.
Release as v0.93.
Wed Jan 19 02:45:18 2000 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Makefile.PL (gen_pm_files): Create .pm files from .dat
files, modifying the attribute lines appropriately depending
on which version of perl we have.
* MANIFEST: Replaced .pm files with .dat files.
* lib/Net/Gen.dat: replaced .pm files with .dat files, so
that C<sub : attrlist> vs. C<use attrs qw(attrlist)> problems
wouldn't give multiple warnings with 5.5.640. Also made
conversion of lib/attrs.dat to lib/attrs.pm dependent on
whether we were going to install attrs.pm.
lib/Net/**.dat: re-formatted attribute information and many
subroutine headers for automated conversion from .dat to .pm
files with the proper application of subroutine attributes.
Release as v0.92.
Internal snaphost as v0.9111.
Tue Sep 21 12:02:11 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Bump version for next snapshot.
* Gen.xs (BAD_TCP_MSS): Fix to undef TCP_MSS after netgen.h
includes possible broken system .h files, and replace TCP_MSS
with TCP_MSS_IETF.
* Makefile.PL (%defdefines): Add TCP_MSS_IETF to hold the proper
value, so that we can fix older Linux systems.
Internal snapshot as v0.9110.
Wed Aug 4 00:38:43 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* t/01unix.t (t_chk_hello_dgram): Don't hang in the receive if the
client send() failed.

succeed.
* t/01unix.t: Slight tweak to return error status if not all tests
succeeded.

Net::Gen after adding the new constants to the latter. Add a
simple RCS string for the curious.

Streamline AUTOLOAD a bit. Remove Socket dependencies. Add a
simple RCS string for the curious.
* lib/Net/TCP/Server.pm: Make Version() a constant sub.
Streamline AUTOLOAD a bit. Remove Socket dependencies. Add a
simple RCS string for the curious.

constants. Streamline AUTOLOAD a bit. Set netgen_fakeconnect for
SOCK_DGRAM sockets. Make Version() a constant sub. Add a simple
RCS string for the curious.
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Streamline AUTOLOAD a bit. Set
netgen_fakeconnect for datagram sockets. Reduce dependency on
Socket by using new XS constants. Make Version() a constant sub.
Add a simple RCS string for the curious.
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Reduce dependency on Socket by using new XS
constants. Streamline AUTOLOAD a bit (for future use). Make
Version() a constant sub. Add a simple RCS string for the
curious.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Make Version() a constant sub. Reduce Socket
dependencies by using new XS constants. Streamline AUTOLOAD a
bit. Add a simple RCS string for the curious.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Reduce bloat from Socket by adding new XS
constants for various values. Add new export tags for the new
constants. Add some missing sockopts. Start implementing
netgen_fakeconnect object parameter for UDP versus Solaris 2.5.1.
Update POD for the new constants, export tags, and socket options.
Make Version() a constant sub. Streamline initsockopts() a bit.
Add a simple RCS string for the curious.
* Makefile.PL: Clean up PREOP and POSTOP, since the previous
write-enabling was a bad idea with RCS. Add a simple RCS header
for the curious.
* Gen.xs: Use constants for several things we used to get from
Socket, since the latter doesn't make them into constant subs.
Add a simple RCS header for the curious.
Sat Feb 27 02:08:01 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Inet.pm (_setport): Correct dependency on hash
ordering which caused some connects not to happen because the
port got set after the host, and the host was 0.
(_sethost): Fixed up gotcha with binding to just a port or
just a host.
(_setproto): Slight improvement to use a hash-slice delete
when clearing protocol information. Improve updating of
the value to set at the epilogue.
* All .pm files: Replace C<${*$self}> with C<*$self{HASH}>.
It makes emacs happier with me, and it eliminates an annoying
unoptimised block when single-stepping in the debugger.
Rescinded upon realising that C<*$self{HASH}> has to generate
a temporary to hold a newly-created RV. Changed them to
C<$ {*$self}>, which looks ugly but works with emacs. I'll
just have to live with the debugger wart.
* lib/Net/UNIX/Server.pm: Get rid of `$myclass' in favour of
__PACKAGE__. Update copyright. POD cleanup.
* lib/Net/TCP/Server.pm: Get rid of `$myclass' in favour of
__PACKAGE__. Update copyright. POD cleanup.
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Get rid of `$myclass' in favour of
__PACKAGE__. Update copyright. POD cleanup. Added
unbuffered_IO options (and PODs) a la Net::UDP, except
that they only operate on non-SOCK_STREAM sockets.
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Get rid of `$myclass' in favour of
__PACKAGE__. Update copyright. POD cleanup.
(_addrinfo): Always obey the $numeric_only flag.
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Finish getting rid of `$myclass' in favour
of __PACKAGE__. POD cleanup.
(_addrinfo): Always obey the $numeric_only flag.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Finish getting rid of `$myclass' in favour
of __PACKAGE__. POD cleanup.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Fix up studly caps in EXPORT_TAGS, allowing
non_block_vals as well as NonBlockVals. POD cleanup.
Minor code tweaks for efficiency. Bump version.
* Gen.xs: Allow for 4.4bsd-style addressing in unpack_sockaddr().
Minor cleanup.
Release as v0.91. Now it should have non-blocking/timed connect logic
which works just about everywhere, as long as perl isn't built with SOCKS.
Maybe I'll move some of _valconnect into XS later, so that I have a shot
at detecting SOCKS and doing the right thing for that, too. In the
meanwhile, it's back to trying to finish up a complete test suite for
this code, even though the two test scripts I already ship cover more than
was originally intended.
Wed Feb 24 22:41:17 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Disable C<use AutoLoader> until such time as
we have real autoloadable subs again. We still have &AUTOLOAD,
but that's for the constants. We don't autosplit anything, so
why bother with running autosplit to create an empty index?
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Bump version for release.
Pre-release as 0.9007.
Wed Feb 24 10:08:50 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Bump version before I forget.
(_valconnect): Don't try to read SO_ERROR if the select()
call doesn't show the connect to have finished. Solaris 2.5.1
hangs the getsockopt in that case, even though the socket's
non-blocking.
* README: Added note about failure to handle non-blocking
connect() with SOCKS.
Pre-release as 0.9006.
Wed Feb 24 09:27:05 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Fix botch in connect() causing attempts to
finish pending connects to start new ones instead. Bump
version stamp for re-distribution.
Tue Feb 23 18:09:17 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* t/01unix.t: Ignore SIGPIPE while trying to figure out the
non-blocking connect problem with Solaris.
* Makefile.PL: Update to make the distribution write-locked
by default, while keeping it write-enabled on my local disk.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Update _tryconnect, add _valconnect. Bump
version stamp for pre-release testers.
Sat Feb 20 15:38:41 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Update test version stamp for pre-release
testers.
* MANIFEST.SKIP: Add some additional development directories to
keep out of the package.
* t/01unix.t: Update test output to include full errno
descriptions. Still trying to figure out why Solaris has to be so
different for making sockets work right.
Sun Feb 14 06:01:49 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Eliminate last uses of $myclass in favor of
__PACKAGE__.
(WRITE): Updated to default length argument now that syswrite
does so.
(initsockopts): localize $SIG{__DIE__} as well as __WARN__.
(TIEHANDLE): Deal with being called with an object.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Add IPPORT_DYNAMIC.
Sat Feb 13 16:22:44 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* t/01unix.t: Update to give test names with TEST_VERBOSE=1
for better debugging (and better error reports).
* t/00basic.t: Modified yet again, still trying to work around
Solaris bug with socket emulation.
Fri Feb 5 02:32:09 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Updated copyright.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Updated copyright.

Thu Feb 4 16:57:04 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* MANIFEST.SKIP: Update to skip "Net-ext-<foo>" directories.
* Makefile.PL (MY::libscan): Update to skip directories named
"<foo>.ORIG" or "Net-ext-<foo>".
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Drop now-useless "used only once" hack
now that it's been fixed in Gen.xs.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Drop now-useless "used only once" hack
now that it's been fixed in Gen.xs.
* Gen.xs: Drop constant() entirely. Replace with newmissing()
in XS code and %_missing for AUTOLOAD().
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Bump version number. Update AUTOLOAD() to
use %_missing instead of constant(). Drop now-useless preinit
seeding of missing routines, since they're always created in
Gen.xs even when undefined.
Sun Jan 31 02:43:17 1999 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* t/00basic.t: Work around Solaris bug with sockets-over-streams
emulation for UDP sockets. (bind required when using connect
and defaulted addresses.)
Released as version 0.89, since 0.88 leaked out before it was ready.
Wed Nov 4 01:37:24 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Avoid "used only once" warnings for
undefined XS constants.

undefined XS constants.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Bump version number. Update to avoid
"used only once" warnings for undefined XS constants.
* t/00basic.t: Update for Solaris bug with socket-over-stream
emulation to not hang on test 16.
Wed Oct 21 04:16:48 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* README: Fix embedded test code in response to a bug report
from Rob Hagopian <hagopiar@vuser.vu.union.edu>.
Released as version 0.87. Critical to replace 0.86 because of
the typos in Gen.xs.
Thu Oct 15 04:26:49 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Suppress -w complaints about socket options which
are not known on the current system (such as TCP_RPTR2RXT).
* lib/Net/Gen.pm (_trace): Try to fix bogus tracing output in the
debugger.
* t/01unix.t: Update to unbuffer stdout.
* Gen.xs: Fix typos for SHUT_* symbols.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Update version stamp.
Released as version 0.86. Further tests are needed, but the clean-up
work already done might be needed by other users.
Wed Oct 14 05:20:42 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm (shutdown): Slight clean-up for 'wasconnected'
handling. It's now down to a single hash, which is used in part
for argument validation.
* README: Add bug-report instructions relative to `perl -V'
and `make test TEST_VERBOSE=1'.
* t/00basic.t: Update to print Net::Gen::Version output
under TEST_VERBOSE=1 so I can request better debugging info.
Remove UNIX domain load tests for non-i_sysun systems.
That's now tested in t/01unix.t anyway.
Fri Oct 2 20:53:12 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm (recv): Fix ->shutdown(0) to use SHUT_RD.
Thu Oct 1 17:28:19 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen.xs: drop _xlate_shut_flag().
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Re-think _xlate_shut_flag. Even XS subcall
overhead is too high. Just use a pair of hashes, and think about
how to do a better job with the 'wasconnected' interface to
eliminate the need for the conversions.
Wed Sep 30 18:40:41 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Updated pods.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Added SHUT_RD, SHUT_WR, SHUT_RDWR, and the
:shutflags export tag. Updated pods.
* Gen.xs: Added SHUT_RD, SHUT_WR, SHUT_RDWR, and the `private'
routine _xlate_shut_flag().
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Updated pods.
* lib/Net/UNIX/Server.pm: Updated pods.
* lib/Net/TCP/Server.pm: Updated pods.
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Updated pods.
Released as version 0.85. The test suite still needs a lot more work,
but Perl v5.005 produced too many spurious warnings to ignore.
Wed Sep 30 00:23:19 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: On second thought, the _autoload method
interface is too slow. Fix up the client AUTOLOAD's to
stuff $Net::Gen::AUTOLOAD and goto &Net::Gen::AUTOLOAD
directly.
* lib/Net/TCP/Server.pm: No longer autoload new() && init().
* lib/Net/UNIX/Server.pm: No longer autoload new() && init().
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Drop backward-compat for ::Server load.
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Drop backward-compat for ::Server load.
* lib/Net/*.pm: Made AUTOLOAD work with an _autoload method
to silence the complaints about inheritance.
* t/00basic.t: Expanded beyond loader tests to do simple
message exchange over UDP sockets.
* t/01unix.t: Added simple tests for UNIX-domain sockets.
Tue Sep 29 15:49:41 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Makefile.PL: Changed minimum perl version to 5.004_05.

adding additional tests.
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Add 'use attrs' for threads, bumping the
minimum perl version to 5.004_05.
* lib/Net/TCP/Server.pm: Add 'use attrs' for threads, bumping the
minimum perl version to 5.004_05.
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Add 'use attrs' for threads, bumping the
minimum perl version to 5.004_05.
* lib/Net/UNIX/Server.pm: Add 'use attrs' for threads, bumping the
minimum perl version to 5.004_05.
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Add 'use attrs' for threads, bumping the
minimum perl version to 5.004_05.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Add 'use attrs' for threads, bumping the
minimum perl version to 5.004_05.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Fix up for 5.005 braindamage with respect
to CORE::whatever functions. Feh. This advances the minimum
version to 5.004_05, since I need to 'use attrs' for threads
in 5.005.
Emergency release as version 0.84. Begin work on real test suite for 0.85.
Sat Apr 4 00:36:44 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm (accept): Fix up successful accept logic.
* lib/Net/TCP/Server.pm (_init): Fix up autoloading.
* lib/Net/UNIX/Server.pm (_init): Fix up autoloading.
Released as version 0.83.
Sun Mar 15 16:52:11 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Added CLOSE, EOF, and WRITE for tied fh's.
* MANIFEST: Added hints/linux.pl.
* hints/linux.pl: Added to avoid TCP_MSS problems on Linux 2.0.30.
* Gen.xs: Updated to undefine TCP_MSS before including netgen.h
if BAD_TCP_MSS is defined. Fixed return types for IPOPT_CLASS
and IPOPT_NUMBER.
* Makefile.PL: Added note that DEFINE is expected to be overridden
by hint files.
Released as version 0.82.
Sat Feb 7 14:56:06 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Fixed bug in READLINE reported by Olivier
Bodenreider <olivier@nlm.nih.gov>. I really need to work on
real regression tests soon....
* lib/** except Gen.pm: Fix up indirect object syntax examples,
and point people at the proto-FMTEYEWTK until Tom has the real one
up on perl.com.
Released as version 0.81.
Thu Jan 29 00:17:08 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* README: Updated description & copyright.
* ALL: Don't C<use Carp>! Defer loading carp until we need it.
Done by providing carp & croak subs in the modules, and having
them be defined as C<require Carp> followed by the appropriate
C<goto &Carp::routine>.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Cease getting SOMAXCONN from Socket.pm.
Wed Jan 28 23:47:57 1998 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen.xs: Added SOMAXCONN as a constant XSUB.
* Makefile.PL: Added just-in-case default define for SOMAXCONN, so
that it can be a constant XSUB, too, rather then defined by eval()
in Gen.pm.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Eliminated various redundant copies of the form
C<$fh = $self>. Fix to generate proper errno in ->send when we
aren't connected and we have no dest-addr arg by just doing the
send anyway. Removed eval() for SOMAXCONN, and stopped inheriting
it from Socket.pm. We'll use another constant XSUB for it.
Wed Dec 24 01:16:18 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Converted from hashref with dependent globref to
globref with associated hashref. Made to inherit from IO::Handle
so that the I/O will behave as people expect. Updated the other
modules to compensate. Removed some workarounds to 5.000 and
5.001 behaviour, since I'm requiring 5.004 (and finally noticed
that the old workarounds were still in place).
Thu Dec 18 16:21:21 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Added unbuffered options for ->PRINT() and
->READLINE() via object parameters unbuffered_{input,output,IO}.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Added default to reply address for ->send().
Added tracking of OOB peer address in ->recv().
* Gen.xs: Add MSG_OOB constant XSUB.
* Makefile.PL: Added %defdefines entry for MSG_OOB.
Released as 0.80. Next release will re-implement with a different internal
representation. Be warned. Use the documented interfaces only.
Sat Dec 6 06:05:01 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/UNIX/Server.pm: split off from UNIX.pm.
* lib/Net/TCP/Server.pm: split off from TCP.pm.
* Gen.xs: Added ENOENT, EINVAL, and EBADF to the errnos.
Reverted to XS for unpack_sockaddr_in and _pack_sockaddr_in.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Made ->init's acceptance of ->isconnecting
conditional on being non-blocking. Revert to XS help for
unpack_sockaddr_in and pack_sockaddr_in.
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Made ->init's acceptance of ->isconnecting
conditional on being non-blocking.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Add accessor function simulation to AUTOLOAD
with the use of the new _accessor() routine. Now single-key
setparam & getparam calls are even easier.
[Example: $self->timeout(20)]
Added ->wasconnected. Made ->connect re-try for ->isconnecting
sockets. Made timeout of 0 try only one address. Merged ->send
and ->SEND. Made ->sendto autoloaded. Added EINVAL, EBADF, and
ENOENT to the :errnos list.
Released as 0.79.
Wed Nov 26 00:57:12 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Added localisation of $! around undef'ing $self
to preserve the errno value in the ->new method.
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Added localisation of $! around undef'ing $self
to preserve the errno value in the ->new method.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Added localisation of $! around undef'ing $self
to preserve the errno value in the ->new method.
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Fixed 'type' param initialisation so that
the 'new' routine doesn't return undef because ->open failed.
Added localisation of $! around undef'ing $self to preserve
the errno value in the ->new and ->init methods.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Added ->isconnecting method, and added timeouts
and the blocking object parameter. Added localisation of $!
around undef'ing $self to preserve the errno value in the ->new
and ->init methods. Tweaked STORE method to avoid passing undef
to ->put.
Tue Nov 25 00:24:59 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen.xs: Added socket-related errno values to the Net::Gen UV
constant definitions.
* Makefile.PL: Added socket-related errno values to be defaulted
to 0 if not present in sys/errno.h or net/errno.h.
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Made server-new set the reuseaddr parameter.
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Cleaned up some interpolations of undef for -w.
Made server-new set the reuseaddr parameter.
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Slight doc tweak.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Cleaned up some interpolations of undef for -w.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Added reuseaddr param key. Added :errnos tag
for socket-related errno values, and added those errnos to
@EXPORT_OK.
Mon Nov 24 23:39:23 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Cleaned up some interpolations of undef for -w.
Fixed some doc typos.
Released as 0.78.
Mon Jul 14 21:28:00 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* README: Pointed harder at Makefile.PL for instructions about
adding new system headers.
* Makefile.PL: Added check for netinet/ip_tcp.h as contributed by
Christopher F. Miller <cfm@maine.com>. Added additional text
near "my @hfiles" describing what a user might need to do in
order to get a good build on a "new port". Added perl version
check here to keep people from trying to compile under 5.003 despite
what the README says.
Mon May 19 05:22:54 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Makefile.PL: Added check for <netinet/in_system.h>.
Sun May 18 04:49:17 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Updated to require 5.00399 and use __PACKAGE__
for $myclass setup. Added 'desthost=>"host:port(n)"' handling.
Added default ports for services known from IANA's list.
Sat May 17 20:27:23 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Updated pods. Most significant change was to
re-arrange the routines to be listed alphabetically, since there
are so many of them. Added a 'functional grouping' intro to the
'public methods' section. Made SEND autoloaded. Updated to
require 5.00399 because of TIEHANDLE support. Because of being
post-5.00394, switched from godawful caller()-abuse to __PACKAGE__
for $myclass initialisation.
Fri May 16 01:01:10 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Tweak pod entry for PRINTF to avoid bogus
warning from pod2man.
Fri May 2 14:12:54 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm (READLINE): Fixread READLINE vs. getline so
that READLINE respects wantarray as the tied-fh internals
expect. Updated pods for tied-fh methods.
Thu May 1 02:14:14 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Some additional support for tied filehandles.
Now have TIEHANDLE, READ, PRINTF, and GETC. READLINE is still
scalar-context-only, and these new methods need docs.
Wed Apr 30 21:11:15 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm (sub listen): Applied patch from Eric Anderson
<eanders@cs.berkeley.edu> to eliminate warning with respect to
$$self{didlisten} (quotes got added).
Released as version 0.77 as this part of development now seems stable.
Sat Apr 5 01:58:20 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* README: Added a copyright statement as per the recommendations
in the module list.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Missed INADDR_UNSPEC_GROUP before.
* Gen.xs: Consolidated the BOOT: sections for better compilation
performance.
Fri Apr 4 12:47:18 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Makefile.PL: Added MY::libscan to keep my local 'make install'
working despite my backup files.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Fixed up the RECV method so that its calling
sequence is appropriate for tied FH support, instead of matching
the recv method. Updated the pod accordingly.
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Updated the new/init handling to set IPproto as
well as proto (just in case).
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Updated the bind and connect methods to allow
additional parameter setting, as in Inet.pm. Updated the pods to
match.
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Slight pod cleanup.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Updated general pod for the IN_MULTICAST() and
IPOPT_COPIED() additions, along with the IP multicast addresses.
* README: Updated for items which are (mostly?) done.
Limited private release as 0.76 with these changes except for the ChangeLog.
Fri Apr 4 12:28:57 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Updated EXPORT_TAGS and related pod.
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Updated EXPORT_TAGS and related pod.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Updated EXPORT_TAGS and related pod.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Updated EXPORT_TAGS and related pod. Changed
initsockopts to use a generated closure in the caller's package to
evaluate the proposed socket options. I'm not convinced whether
this is better than the previous can() method, though. Some
profiling is required, along with testing the behaviour of each
style under pathological conditions.
* Gen.xs: Removed entries in constant() which will (now) never be
missing from the rest of the generated file. Added entries for
the 1-arg macros, and a few new constants (such as IPOPT_CIPSO and
INADDR_ALLRTRS_GROUP). Added support for sv_inaddr_t / T_INADDR
typemap (routine sv2inaddr) so that IN_CLASSD() and friends can
take a local-byte-ordered UV or a PV which is returned by
Socket::inet_aton() or unpack_sockaddr_in() which is in network
byte order.
* Makefile.PL: Added code to create "netgen.h" for #include, in
support of finding local .h files and generating default values
for system-independent symbols. This means that I have #defines
which duplicate the anonymous enums used in Linux, but that's
life. The macros generated in netgen.h allow me to support some
of the 1-argument macros, too, such as IN_CLASSD() and
IPOPT_COPIED().
* typemap: Add sv_inaddr_t / T_INADDR mapping for the new
IN_CLASSD() and related predicate functions.
Released as version 0.75 (still alpha) because of perl 5.003_96 & AUTOLOAD.
Tue Apr 1 00:53:05 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* README: Add a note about the Linux issue, and configuration
problems with tracking down the right <*.h> files.
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Hoisted initialisation, and corrected for the
non-inherited AUTOLOAD problem. Minor additional cleanup so that
it will work with autosplit now.
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Hoisted initialisation, and corrected for the
non-inherited AUTOLOAD problem.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Hoisted initialisation, and corrected for the
non-inherited AUTOLOAD problem. Made auto-split, as well.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Hoisted some things into BEGIN {} blocks so that
should-be-constant subs (and xsubs) will be.
* Gen.xs (cv_constant): Fixed up the constant XSUBs. Now they
really are.
Sun Mar 30 20:34:35 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Revamped a lot of calling sequences to be a
strict match for the docs, after cleaning up the few remaining
errant calls in my own code. This streamlined a lot of the
methods, so some fairly common operations should be faster now.
Also fixed up references to $myclass so that the "should be
autoloaded" functions can be. In fact, now they are. Added the
condition() method, so that the autoflush() and binmode() calls in
accept() and open() can be abstracted. Some sub-classes may only
need to override (or augment) condition() now rather than both
open() and accept().
Turned loose as version 0.74 (still alpha because of the Linux problem).
Fri Mar 28 21:48:53 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen.xs: Revamp `constant' subs for easier auto-generation.
Still to do: mark them as constant.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Fix up eof handling in get(). Fix up
subclass new() call in accept(). Eliminate private gensym
emulation and just use Symbol::gensym(). Document the new
ckeof() method.
Thu Mar 27 02:12:41 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Declare missing constant routines so that they
have the right prototypes.
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Declare routines which need to go through
constant() so that they always have the same prototype.
* Gen.xs (constant): Create routines for the constants which are
defined, so that we only call constant() in the AUTOLOAD routine
for missing macros.
Tue Mar 25 11:50:01 1997 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* README: Updated.
* lib/Net/UNIX.pm: Finished the promised routines in the pod.
Cleaned up for new distribution structure.
* lib/Net/UDP.pm: Clean up for new distribution structure.
Query--Does this module need a Server sub-class like the TCP one?
* lib/Net/TCP.pm: Clean up for inherited autoloader. Some pod
updates.
* lib/Net/Inet.pm: Add exporter tags. Fix up to use more of the
routines which are in Socket (and which work well enough for me
now). Significant pod updates. In _setport, allow port/service
args like 'http(80)' for parity with IO::Socket. In getsockinfo,
update the lcl* parameters if we have a binding, even if the
remote info is not available because we're not connected.
* lib/Net/Gen.pm: Fix paragraph-mode mismatch in getline(). Make
DESTROY() be null, since de-refs will do the right thing more
efficiently than the explicit Perl code which used to be there.
Significant pod updates.
* Gen.xs: Eliminate 'privatized' versions of things in Socket.
I'm cleaning up the alternate versions now that Socket works.
* Makefile.PL: Restructure distribution layout to be friendly to
CPAN.pm. This also eliminates all the .xs files except for
Gen.xs, which now has all the constants. This makes for only one
loadable library, which should be more efficient. The Net::Dnet
module has been split out into a separate distribution.
This was 'released' as version 0.72 (a.k.a alpha 8).
Sun Dec 22 09:58:02 1996 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Snapshot work-in-progress, even though should be updated
for 5.003_13, since I'll be away for a while.
Wed Jul 24 03:29:13 1996 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Dnet/Dnet.pm: Clean up some {'word'} and {'key'=>val} stuff.
* TCP/TCP.pm: Clean up some {'word'} and {'key'=>val} stuff.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Clean up some {'word'} and {'key'=>val} stuff.
* Gen/Gen.pm: Clean up some {'word'} and {'key'=>val} stuff.
Tue Jul 23 10:52:38 1996 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Contents: Remove pad_lexicals patch, since that fix is obsolete
with 5.003.
Sun Jul 21 02:48:39 1996 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen/Gen.pm: Fix old bug with OOB messages and 'lastFrom'
handling with respect to recv.
Sat Jul 20 19:32:15 1996 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen/Gen.pm: Begin updating for 5.003 language features (like
SUPER:: and anonymous globs.)

Sun Jul 14 14:33:07 1996 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* TCP/TCP.pm: Fixed bug formerly patched in private testing kits
which prevented passing parameters to Net::TCP::Server::new and
having them take effect.
Begin updating for 5.003 language features (like SUPER:: and
anonymous globs.)
* Dnet/Makefile.PL: Upgraded to MakeMaker 5.34.
* UNIX/Makefile.PL: Upgraded to MakeMaker 5.34.
* UDP/Makefile.PL: Upgraded to MakeMaker 5.34.
* TCP/Makefile.PL: Upgraded to MakeMaker 5.34.
* Inet/Makefile.PL: Upgraded to MakeMaker 5.34.
* Gen/Makefile.PL: Upgraded to MakeMaker 5.34.
Thu Jun 1 03:38:49 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Inet/Inet.xs: Added _inet_aton() for performance.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Moved some of inet_aton() into XSUB for
performance.
* TCP/TCP.pm: Worked up Net::TCP::Server sub-module for easier
server creation.
Sun May 28 18:35:42 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen/Gen.pm: -w fixup in getline for (undef $/) case.
Add aliases for registerOptions and similar mixed-case methods
to allow names like "register_options" for those who prefer that.
Updated the pod for the alias methods and a discussion of the use
of the fileno method and/or the embedded filehandle.
Added new_from_fh method and pod info.
Sat May 27 02:30:46 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* TCP/TCP.pm: 'use strict' fix for select() in accept method.
Mon Apr 17 02:58:40 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* version 0.51-alpha released.
Mon Apr 10 17:45:29 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Contents: Changed to unpack into Net/ rather than ext/Net/, to
be friendlier to people who are building this stuff as loadable
pieces separate from the Perl distribution.
* Gen/Gen.pm: More -w fixups (missed by perl -wc).
Sat Apr 8 11:26:48 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* UDP/Makefile.PL: Hack up to be in the same directory tree,
even though it doesn't have a .xs file.
* UDP/UDP.pm: Make ready for exposure to the world.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Add wrapper for pack_sockaddr_in to make
the 'family' argument optional.
* Inet/Inet.xs: Fix constant() to be U32 rather than double.
Privatize pack_sockaddr_in() to allow for optional sin_family.
* TCP/TCP.xs: Fix constant() to be U32 rather than double.
Wed Apr 5 14:55:54 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* TCP/TCP.pm: Remove TIESCALAR workaround, as either my
pad-lexicals patch fixed it or I'm no longer exercising the bug.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Fix glitches with -w stuff. Fix inet_aton not to
'use integer', as it loses the high-order bit.
* Gen/Gen.pm: Fix glitches in the 'use strict' and -w stuff.
Mon Apr 3 02:22:21 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Version 0.50-alpha released.
Mon Apr 3 02:00:25 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* README: Updated to reflect the need for a patched 5.001.
* Contents: add pad-lexicals-patch for making 5.001 work for me.
* TCP/TCP.pm: Undocument ``setdebug''. It's a botch that's only
there because it helped me in figuring out where things were
dying while looking for bugs in perl itself. It's not a
desirable feature for the modules. Debug options should be
per-object if they exist.
* Gen/Gen.pm: Finish fixing up for ``use strict'' where possible
after my posted patches for bugs found along the way. Enough of
this now depends on working lexicals that it now requires 5.001
(with patches) to work.
Sat Apr 1 01:07:35 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen/Gen.pm: Clean up for ``use strict'' and ``-w'' stuff.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Clean up for ``use strict'' stuff.
* TCP/TCP.pm: Clean up to make 'use strict qw(subs refs)' work.
Add 'use strict;' after AUTOLOAD.
Thu Mar 30 02:04:14 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* TCP/TCP.pm: Clean up -w warnings resulting from @ISA conflicts
between DynaLoader and AutoLoader.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Clean up -w warnings resulting from @ISA conflicts
between DynaLoader and AutoLoader.
* Gen/Gen.pm: Cleaned up a lot of warnings (-w). Most of them
were "cleaned up" by being suppressed, since the overhead of
checking things in setparams to satisfy -w isn't really worth
it. However, some of them were real, and worth fixing.
Mon Mar 27 01:51:58 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen/Gen.pm: Fixed the pod a bit.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Fixed format_addr to allow static-style calls as
per its documentation.
* TCP/TCP.pm: Fixed a warning-causing typo, and fixed the pod a
bit. Added _addrinfo hack for format_addr.
Sat Mar 25 11:34:26 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Version 0.3-alpha released.
Sat Mar 25 11:34:26 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Inet/Inet.pm: Moved IPVERSION to @EXPORT_OK. Added format_addr.
Cleaned up some sign-extension problems.
Added keys {lcl,rem}{host,addr,service,port} and augmented
getsockinfo method to fill in the values.
Added key IPproto to store the name of protocol in use, and
made keys IPproto and proto inter-dependent.
* Gen/Gen.pm: Don't allow getline's stashed buffer to interfere
with recv's involving MSG_OOB. Clean up another eval to be more
efficient (compiled, not purely interpreted). Clean up some
sign-extension problems.
Added format_addr, format_local_addr, format_remote_addr
methods.
Fri Mar 24 02:19:09 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen/Gen.pm: Avoided some excessive warnings.
Added some error-checking to select and fhvec methods.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Cleaned up some excess evals.
* Inet/Inet.xs: Made {un,}pack_sockaddr_in more robust by using
SV* arguments and range-checking their lengths.
Tue Mar 21 16:25:33 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Version 0.2-alpha released.
Tue Mar 21 16:25:33 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* Gen/Gen.pm: Added methods fhvec, select, ioctl, fcntl.
Sun Mar 19 18:31:28 1995 Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>
* TCP/TCP.pm: Fix workaround for TIESCALAR on first ->new() to
include v5.001.
Fix constant() handling to avoid the 'has args' problem.
* Inet/Inet.pm: Fix to include & on calls to our own constants,
since they're not known as subroutines in our own module.
Fix constant() handling to avoid the 'has args' problem.
Revision history prior to 0.1-alpha is lost.
