The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.04

  • Optionally compile against some genetlink.h constants only found post-2.6.18 so as not to fail to build on older systems
  • Only upbless Netlink::Generic messages if they're not already a more specific subclass
  • Reuseable support for nlmsg_type dependent subclassing of message objects
  • Support different message classes for user->kernel commands vs. kernel->user notifications
  • Don't hard-depend on Sub::Uplevel
