Resolving log files with Thread::Pool

2002-07-18 Thread Elizabeth Mattijsen
I was considering creating a simple application of Thread::Pool to resolve log-files, specifically web server log files. I realize that there is a lot of stuff for resolving log files out there already, but I'm more interested in writing an application for Thread::Pool rather than solving

Obsolete, renamed modules?

2002-07-30 Thread Elizabeth Mattijsen
What is the policy with regards to obsolete modules on CPAN? I just realised there are several versions of modules that I uploaded to CPAN still available e.g. through search.CPAN.org, at least with the CHANGELOG and the README. Would it make sense to upload a non-functioning, higher

Thread::Tie - Tie::Thread ?

2002-08-10 Thread Elizabeth Mattijsen
Having just releasesd the Thread::Tie module to CPAN, I wonder whether it should be named Tie::Thread instead? My original reasoning for calling it Thread::Tie was that it doesn't implement a specific tie() implementation at all. It just allows you to have the variables (whichever way they
