Changes for version 2.1 - 1999-08-19

  • moved all socket IO to 2 methods to allow debug to print all socket IO. (mitra@earth.path.net)
  • fixed some places where you could get an empty string returned as an error when calling from an array context. Now returns nothing (false for both array and scalar context).
  • defaults to APOP (digest) as authentication mode. Will switch to PASS (cleartext) if server does not claim to support APOP. This will mean less passwords sent in cleartext.
  • fixed example in the Synopsis section (missing argument to Head).
  • added a simple documentation line for Uidl

Changes for version 2.10 - 2001-09-08

  • Corrected problem where login was not attempted if password was empty string.
