ANNOUNCE: AFS Perl API 2.6.3 released

[Norbert Gruener]

AFS Perl API Version 2.6.3
I am pleased to announce the AFS Perl API 2.6.3 release

The AFS module bundle is a dynamically loadable extension to
Perl. It gives the AFS user and administrator access to many of
the AFS programming APIs, allowing you to make these calls
directly from Perl, rather then processing the output of a
command. The AFS module bundle is a thin layer above the low-level
AFS APIs.

This release compiles with OpenAFS system libraries version 1.4.X
on 32-bit and on 64-bit platforms.



Where To Get It
The version 2.6.3 is now available at

http://www.MPA-Garching.MPG.de/~nog/perl/AFS-2.6.3.tar.gz
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/N/NO/NOG/AFS-2.6.3.tar.gz

This release should work on all UNIX/Linux platforms which have
AFS API interfaces and the appropriate C compilation environment.
