[OpenAFS-announce] ANNOUNCE: AFS Perl API 2.4.1 released

[Norbert Gruener]

AFS Perl API Version 2.4.1
    I am pleased to announce the AFS Perl API 2.4.1 release

    The AFS module bundle is a dynamically loadable extension to
    Perl. It gives the AFS user and administrator access to many of
    the AFS programming APIs, allowing you to make these calls
    directly from Perl, rather then processing the output of a
    command. The AFS module bundle is a thin layer above the low-level
    AFS APIs.

Where To Get It
    The version 2.4.1 is now available at

        http://www.MPA-Garching.MPG.de/~nog/perl/AFS-2.4.1.tar.gz
        http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/N/NO/NOG/AFS-2.4.1.tar.gz

    This release should work on all UNIX/Linux platforms which have
    AFS API interfaces and the appropriate C compilation environment.

User Visible Changes in this Release
    - fixed sevaral AFS::VOS methods
    - POD documentation gets installed automatically
    - compiles now with OpenAFS system libraries newer than 1.4.4
    - improved test drivers
    - updated example scripts


Important Hint
    Next week (Oct 27 - 31 2008) I will release version 2.6.0 which
    will compile with Perl 5.10.0 

    If your upgrade is not very urgent you should wait for
    release 2.6.0 !!!
