Greetings,

Version 0.22 of nsapi_perl has been added to the CPAN as:
 file: $CPAN/authors/id/BSUGARS/nsapi_perl-0.22.tar.gz
 size: 45217 bytes
  md5: d5ccb1733f7559ce0e9b5770a28bd74a

The latest version can always also be found at the nsapi_perl home
page located at:
 http://interact.canoe.ca/~bsugars/nsapi_perl.html

nsapi_perl is a set of Netscape Server API functions and Perl
extension modules that (in the spirit of mod_perl for Apache) embed a
Perl interpreter in a Netscape web server.  This allows you to program
to the Netscape server API in Perl rather than C.

The package includes the Netscape::Registry module which runs
unmodified Perl CGI programs from within the server process providing
large performance gains over regular CGI.

Major changes since version 0.20:
   - Fixed dynamic loading of Perl extension modules pulled in by
     nsapi_perl modules or Netscape::Registry scripts on Solaris.

   - The above fix may also help dynamic loading on IRIX and other
     Unices too, but we need to do more testing.  (BTW, dynamic
     loading on Win32 Just Works.)

   - Some improvements to Makefile.PL.

If you have any problems building nsapi_perl, please contact the
nsapi_perl mailing list, the address of which is found in the
distribution.  (I'd tell you here, but I don't want to invite spam.)

Thanks,
-Ben
