+Revision history for Perl extension Curl::easy.
+Check out the file README for more info.
+
+1.0.2 Tue Oct 10 2000:
+ - runs with libcurl 7.4
+ - modified curl_easy_getinfo(). It now calls curl_getinfo() that has
+ been added to libcurl in version 7.4.
+
+1.0.1 Tue Oct 10 2000:
+ - Added some missing features of curl_easy_setopt():
+ - CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER now works by passing the name of a perl
+ variable that shall be crated and the errormessage (if any)
+ be stored to.
+ - Passing filehandles (Options FILE, INFILE and WRITEHEADER) now works.
+ Have a look at test.pl to see how it works...
+
+ - Added a new function, curl_easy_getinfo(), that for now always
+ returns the number of bytes that where written to disk during the last
+ download. If the curl_easy_getinfo() function is included in libcurl,
+ (as promised by Daniel ;-)) i will turn this into just a call to this
+ function.
+
+1.0 Thu Oct 5 2000:
+ - first released version
+ - runs with libcurl 7.3
+ - some features of curl_easy_setopt() are still missing:
+ - passing function pointers doesn't work (options WRITEFUNCTION,
+ READFUNCTION and PROGRESSFUNCTION).
+ - passing FILE * pointers doesn't work (options FILE, INFILE and
+ WRITEHEADER).
+ - passing linked lists doesn't work (options HTTPHEADER and
+ HTTPPOST).
+ - setting the buffer where to store error messages in doesn't work
+ (option ERRORBUFFER).

+README for Perl extension Curl::easy.
+
+The perl module Curl::easy provides an interface to the cURL library "libcurl".
+See http://curl.haxx.se/ for more information on cURL and libcurl.
+
+This module requires libcurl and the corresponding headerfiles to be
+installed. You then may install this module via the usual way:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ make
+ make test
+ make install
+
+The module provides the same functionality as libcurl provides to C programs,
+please refer to the documentation of libcurl.
+
+A short example how to use the module may be found in test.pl.
+
+This Software is distributed AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
+either express or implied. Send praise, patches, money, beer and
+pizza to the author. Send complaints to /dev/null. ;-)
+
+The author of this module is Georg Horn <horn@koblenz-net.de>
+
+The latest version of this module can be dowloaded from
+http://koblenz-net.de/~horn/export/
