Greetings,

Version 0.20 of nsapi_perl has been added to the CPAN as:
  file: $CPAN/authors/id/BSUGARS/nsapi_perl-0.20.tar.gz
  size: 43668 bytes
   md5: 5f55e218d2216db576c3639648af12bd

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 0.15:
     - Now compiles out-of-the box on both Solaris and Windows NT
       (thanks to Steve Nielsen). Other Unix platforms are also
       supported, with a bit of hand-holding.

     - Will work with multi-threaded servers, with some caveats.

     - enhanced functionality of net_read and net_write methods
       (thanks to Olivier Dehon).

     - Added an interface to the func_exec NSAPI function.

     - Various bug fixes

Please let me know if you have success or problems installing
or using nsapi_perl.

Thanks,
-Ben
