Important information for Net::Printer v30 ------------------------------------------ Last Modified: $Id: README.v30,v 1.1 2003/02/12 14:41:32 cfuhrman Exp $ As of version 0.30 of Net::Printer, a number of very important changes have taken place. Please read carefully. Copyright Net::Printer is now distributed under a dual license. Please see the file COPYRIGHT for more information. Net::Printer API Version 0.30 represents a complete re-write of Net::Printer from scratch and have incorporated a number of improvements: - Net::Printer now connects via IO::Socket freeing the programmer from having to deal with low-level socket calls. - Temporary files are now created using the POSIX tmpfile function leading to greater security. The previous version created temporary files in a predictable manner. - Net::Printer now will time out should it not connect to a remote printer. This will prevent Net::Printer from hanging. - A test.pl file is now included. - the printfile call can now take a filename as an argument.
