Perlbal 1.01

New version of Perlbal:

http://lists.danga.com/pipermail/perlbal/2004-October/000010.html
Changes since 1.00:

    -- when internally redirecting a URL, perlbal advertises
       that it supports persisent HTTP connections now,
       and caches those sockets for 5 seconds.  (not configurable)
       useful under load, otherwise you waste all local ports
       on a machine

    -- ditch dependence on IO::SendFile.  do it ourselves (1 line)
       with perl's syscall function

    -- add doc/* and conf/* to MANIFEST file

That last item is probably the most important to you, the potentially interested user: I accidentally forgot to include the example config files in the last release.

Basically sitting around, drinking snucked-in alcohol (rather than paying for it inside), and listening to music and eating. Sounds like a perfect weekend plan to me. (the prospect of rain will only make it all the more interesting....)
