NOTES

Hardware::UPS::Perl::Driver::Megatec was inspired by the usv.pl program by Bernd Holzhauer, <www.cc-c.de>. The latest version of this program can be obtained from

    http://www.cc-c.de/german/linux/linux_usv.php

Another great resource was the Network UPS Tools site, which can be found at

    http://www.networkupstools.org

Hardware::UPS::Perl::Driver::Megatec was developed using perl 5.8.8 on a SuSE 10.1 Linux distribution.

BUGS

There are plenty of them for sure. Maybe the embedded pod documentation has to be revised a little bit.

Suggestions to improve Hardware::UPS::Perl::Driver::Megatec are welcome, though due to the lack of time it might take a while to incorporate them.
