Perlbal 1.01

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

Another release of Perlbal is out:

   http://www.danga.com/dist/Perlbal/
   http://www.danga.com/dist/Perlbal/Perlbal-1.01.tar.gz

And you'll need version 1.25 of Danga::Socket:

   http://www.danga.com/dist/Danga-Socket/
   http://www.danga.com/dist/Danga-Socket/Danga-Socket-1.25.tar.gz

And Linux::AIO 1.3 from CPAN.

Changes since 1.00:

    -- when internally redirecting a URL, perlbal advertises
       that it supports persisent HTTP connections now,
       and caches those sockets for 5 seconds.  (not configurable)
       useful under load, otherwise you waste all local ports
       on a machine

    -- ditch dependence on IO::SendFile.  do it ourselves (1 line)
       with perl's syscall function

    -- add doc/* and conf/* to MANIFEST file

Don't let the low version number fool you ... we've been using Perlbal (on
a few machines) for 20-40 millions of hits per day.

We're still working on docs, but at least doc/* and conf/* are now in the
tarball, which are pretty helpful.
