Hi -- Version 0.09 of IPC::DirQueue is now released, and should be showing up on CPAN rsn. Changes since 0.08: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r8418 | jmason | 2006-12-21 19:00:03 +0000 (Thu, 21 Dec 2006) | 1 line add IPC::DirQueue::Job::get_data() API, to access queued job data directly as a string instead of as a filename, thanks to Collin Winter <collinw at gmail.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r8379 | jmason | 2006-12-11 20:32:13 +0000 (Mon, 11 Dec 2006) | 1 line fix documentation; it was unclear for beginners as to how job data got into and out of IPC::DirQueue, and that reading/writing files is required ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r8103 | jmason | 2006-11-24 14:27:37 +0000 (Fri, 24 Nov 2006) | 1 line fix platform-specific tests: must use 'use constant' in the conditional variables, otherwise the tests appear to be failing on win32 platforms when in fact we're just trying to skip them (see http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/377405 for example) (by the way, IPC::DirQueue users might be interested in this account of how qpsmtpd and IPC::DirQueue powers the traps.SpamAssassin.org spamtraps: http://taint.org/2007/04/17/132339a.html ) --j.
