I have just uploaded a module that I have been working on for some time. First, I apologize. I choose a Namespace without checking with PAUSE first. If this namespace won't work out (it's available, but I don't know if it is reserved), I can work on changing it in my cvs to another repository name. The name I have choosen is Net::Server. The module includes full documentation, Makefile.PL, supported modules and test scripts. Net::Server is has some similarities to Net::Daemon and NetServer::Generic, but seeks to combine the good qualities of these and add an extensible (class oriented) API ala concepts contained in Net::FTPServer and in the Apache Webserver. Some key benefits are PreForking server (NetServer::Generic has this but does not have the back end structure to make it suitable for expansion.), multi port accept (allows the server to bind to and accept on one or more ports on the server, easy expansion via hooks, easy adaptibility using class inheritance. The tar ball has been uploaded into authors/id/R/RH/RHANDOM. The current file is Net-Server-0.46.tar.gz. Thank you for your time and consideration. Paul T Seamons [EMAIL PROTECTED]
