Apache::Throttle - Apache/Perl module for speed-based content negotiation

Apache::Throttle is a package designed to allow Apache webservers to
negotiate content based on the speed of the connection.

It's primary purpose is to transparently send smaller (lower
resolution/quality) images to users with slow internet connections,
but it can also be used for many other purposes.

Prerequisites:
 * Apache w/ mod_perl
 * IPC::Shareable
 * Time::HiRes and Image::Magick are also recommended.

Quick Start:
 1) "perl Makefile.PL"
 2) "make"
 3) "make install"
 4) add the following lines to one of your Apache config files:
        PerlTransHandler   Apache::Throttle
        PerlFixUpHandler   Apache::Throttle::Log
 5) "apachectl restart" (or send the main httpd process a -HUP signal)
 6) "throttleimg <a gif or jpeg in your Apache htdocs root>"
 7) Browse around your site with a web browser for a while from a remote
    machine, making sure that it loads at least one file larger than 64k.
 8) Request the file that you ran throttleimg on earlier.  It should load
    in approximately 5 seconds, regardless of your connection speed.
 9) See the manpages for Apache::Throttle, Apache::Throttle::Log, and
    throttleimg for information on changing the defaults.
10) Good luck. :-)
