runpugs version 0.4.0 TODO:

2007/05/07
* Unicode: hack Net::Telnet so it handles Unicode
* Improve POD
* Add Web-based REPL to run kp6 using 'kp6-perl5.pl --secure  | perl -Ilib-kp6-mp6-p5'
* Fix excess html display escaping problems on the server side (my @a = <&nbsp; &gt; &lt;>);
* Put more functionality in JS (clear, timeout) 
* Cleanup history code in server-side
* Use true AJAX [remaining: hidden iframe/html payload -> $.ajax/JSON]
* Create WML/XHTML non-javascript mobile phone version of runpugs
* Convert to Perl6: this is a nice long-term goal. 
    Perl 5 Modules to be ported:
    - IO::Pty (xs based)
    - Proc::Daemon
    - A stripped-down Net::Telnet, purely to manage communication via IO::Pty
    - YAML::Syck (xs based)
    - The Perl 6 equivalents of POSIX, Errno, IO::Select, Carp
   Of course we can use the Perl 5 implementations for the time being.



* Port mod_perl -> mod_perl2 for apache2/mod_deflate efficiency

So far we need to do the following:

in lib/startup.pl => use Apache::Registry => use ModPerl::Registry
in httpd.conf => every Apache:: => ModPerl::
in perl/runpugs.pl => Make file reference absolute in open HTML
in data/runpugs.html => make sure we reference /perl/runpugs.pl
