Revision history for Perl extension Net::Ident.
1.10 Wed Jan 15 01:49:15 MET 1997
- Several bugfixes, and some slight interface changes:
- constructor now called `new' instead of `initconnect',
constructor now always succeeds, if something has gone
wrong in the constructor, all methods return undef (like
`getfh'), except for `geterror', which returns the error
message.
- The recommended exported function is now `ident_lookup'
instead of `lookup'
- Fixed a bug: now chooses O_NDELAY or O_NONBLOCK from
%Config, instead of hardcoding O_NDELAY (argh)
- Adding a method to FileHandle would break in perl5.004, it
should get added in IO::Handle. Added intelligence in
Makefile.PL to detect that and choose the appropriate
package.
- Miscellaneous pod fixes.
- Test script now actually tests multiple different things.
1.10 Sat Jan 11 19:05:35 1997
- original version; created by h2xs 1.16. First release
as a perl5 module, complete rewrite for perl5, based
on rfc931.pl
1.02 Fri Jan 20 18:20:32 1995
- Quite a big bugfix: "connection
refused" to the ident port would kill the perl process
with a SIGPIPE if the connect didn't immediately
signal it (ie. almost always on remote machines). Also
recognises the perl5 package separator :: now on fully
qualified descriptors. This is still perl4-compatible,
a perl5- only version would require a rewrite to make
it neater. Fixed the constants normally found in .ph
files (but you shouldn't use those anyway).
1.01 Some Novish evening 1994
- Removed a spurious perl5 -w complaint. First public release.
Has been tested against perl 5.000 and perl 4.036.
1.00 Somewhere in 1994
- First neat collection of dusty routines put in a package.
