Re: [Perl-workflow-devel] Updated: Dynamically loaded configs patch (now incl tests)

[Jonas B. N. <jo...@gm...>]

Hello All and especially Andrew,

I have just created a branch for the patch. (dynamic_load). The patch  
has been applied and a developer release has been uploaded to CPAN.  
Please test release 1.33_1 if you have time to do so.

Feedback welcome.

Working on the branch is also encouraged.
