ChangeLog  view on Meta::CPAN

        - added the ability to get hostname and ip address information
          from an IO::Socket, a GLOB or GLOBREF

0.10    Tue Feb 13 2001
        - Three years and *still* nobody wrote something like this ? 
        - Cleaned up a bit, verified on FreeBSD 4.
        - renamed from TCP_Wrappers to Authen::Libwrap in prep for
	      distribution on CPAN

[...]   History unknown.  Module never received much fedback, so it wasn't
        uploaded to CPAN.

0.003   Fri Apr 3 1998
        - Released to a few interested parties from comp.lang.perl.modules

0.002	Wed Apr 1 1998
        - I couldn't quite bring myself to release this on April Fool's day
        (as appropriate as it may have been)

0.001	Mon Mar 27 1998
        - Damn! It compiles (and seems to work to boot!)

    set when libwrap is built and I can't tell what the user's rules are. I can
    make sure the function calls don't die, but I can't really tell if any call
    to hosts\_ctl should give back a true or false value.

# TODO

In early 2003 I was contacted by another Perl developer who had developed an
XS interface to libwrap that covered more of the API than mine did.
Originally he offered it as a patch to my module, but at the time I wasn't
in a position to actively maintain anything on CPAN, so I suggested that he
upload it himself. I unfortunately lost the email thread to a disk crash.

As of December 2003 I don't see any other modules professing to support
libwrap om CPAN. If that person is still out there, please get in contact
with me, otherwise I'll plan on implementing some of these TODOs in the new
year:

- provide support for hosts\_access and request\_\* functions
- develop an OO interface
