I have just uploaded to PAUSE a new release of the libnet distribution,
it should appear on CPAN mirror sites soon

This release contains a lot of changes from the previous release,
probably
too many, I would strongly suggest testing any scripts with this release
before you install it.

Please also read the RADME.config file in the distribution.

libnet is a collection of perl modules which encapsulate the usage
of various protocols used in the internet community. These include

 Net::FTP     (RFC959)
 Net::SMTP    (RFC821)
 Net::Netrc
 Net::Cmd
 Net::Domain
 Net::Telnet  (RFC854)
 Net::Time    (RFC867 & RFC868)
 Net::NNTP    (RFC977)
 Net::POP3    (RFC1939)
 Net::SNPP    (RFC1861)
 Net::PH
 Net::Config

To install libnet you ***MUST*** have the following modules installed

 IO::Socket

This release contains the following changes to the previous release


*** Release 1.06

Fri Oct 31 1997 <[email protected]> (Graham Barr)

       Net::FTP
       - Fixed undef warning in login() when $ruser does not exist in .netrc
       - Added new supported() method
       - DESTORY now sends quit command
       - corrected OOB commands sent prior to an abort command
       - close will call abort unless eof seen
       - documentation updates

       Net::FTP::datacon
       - abort() will read a byte if non have been read

       Net::FTP::A
       - read was using arg#3 as an offset ?? change to use as timeout, this
         now matches Net::FTP::I::read and the docs
       - speedup to read()

Fri Sep 26 1997 <[email protected]> (Graham Barr)

       Net::Cmd
       - modified ->response() to return CMD_ERROR if ->getline() returns
         undef

Sun Sep 14 1997 <[email protected]> (Graham Barr)

       Small tweak to Makefile,PL to remove requirement for Data::Dumper

Wed Oct  1 1997
       Net::PH
       - re-wrote crypt code. now should be 2-3x faster.

       Net::SNPP
       - added _SITE method
       - added parse_response, so that SNPP style multi-line responses
         can be caught.

       Net::SNPP::HylaFax
       - new module added, defines methods that HylaFax uses. Implemented
         using _SITE -- *** NOTE there is no docs for this module yet!!!!

Thu Sep 11 1997

       - Removed Net::Telnet, users should now use Net::Telnet by Jay Rogers.

       Configure, Makefile.PL
       - More changes to make Configure more robust (I hope :-)

       t/nntp.t
       - Removed the call to ->list(), which was an insane thing to
         do anyway (Thanks Tom C.).

       Net::FTP
       - Modified pasv_xfer to use ->stor instead of ->stou
       - Fix responce typo in sub cmd
       - Modified to use AutoLoader to speed up load time

       Net::PH
       - Fixed _arg_hash to pass "" when the value is empty

       Net::POP3
