[Apt-proxy-users] Working on Aptcached 0.8

[Jason B. <ja...@ed...>]

I'm using Net::Server, and it's pretty nice so far.  I'm enjoying it a lot 
more than using POE.

I've ported over my cached copy response code and got pipelining working 
nicely.  It's a lot faster than without it.  Doing pipelining while talking 
to Debian servers is another matter and I don't think I'm going to dabble in 
trying that until after I get request concurrency race issues for uncached 
files delt with and the mirror fetching code itself ported.

Of course Net::Server isn't in Debian, yet, but dh-make-perl fixes that 
easily enough, I think, at least for me.  I'd rather use a frame work that 
works than struggle along with only those tools that are available in Debian. 
I like both hands untied.

Memory usage is around 4800K for the parent process.  I don't know that I can 
get it much lower than that, since I have no modules left I can throw away 
without getting sore.  I guess AppConfig could go, but I rather like it.  It 
is pretty complex, though.  (And on examination AppConfig seems to use 
AutoLoader tricks to limit loading of unused routines, so chucking that won't 
buy much.)
