[Perlorb-misc] Locate requests are now supported

[Derek T. <de...@we...>]

Hi,

The Perl ORB now handles locate request messages, as I've finally gotten 
some time to work on it. This means that you don't have to switch off 
locate request messages on ORBs that always send them first (i.e. 
OmniORB). So get the changes from CVS and try it out!

Just to let everyone know what my plan is for the Perl ORB - I want to 
implement the remaining GIOP 1.0 messages, and then refactor a fair bit 
of the client and ORB support code, as much of it was grown quickly and 
experimentally. I'm happy with the basic GIOP/CDR engine, ie everything 
under the GIOP directory, so that'll stay unchanged. Then I'll have a 
0.2 release, and I might actually be ready to officially announce the 
project to the world at large.

Regards,
Derek.

[Perlorb-misc] Use the Fnorb from CVS

[Derek T. <de...@we...>]

Hi,

I forgot to mention this in the README, but you will need to use the version 
that is in the Fnorb SourceForge CVS tree, if you decide to use Fnorb's 
interface repository.

This is because I uncovered a couple of bugs in the Fnorb interface repository 
when testing against the Perl ORB.

Any other IFR should work fine, of course.

Regards,
Derek.

[Perlorb-misc] Perl ORB 0.1.1 released

[Derek T. <de...@we...>]

Hi,

I discovered that Perl servants completely failed to work properly with 
Fnorb or OmniORB C++ - so I've fixed that.

List of changes in 0.1.1:
   Lack of an "is_a" implemention for servants fixed.
   Servants now work properly with Fnorb and OmniORB C++.
   Implemented all the operations in example/misc/server.pl that are
   called in example/misc/example.pl.

Regards,
Derek.
