Heya Monks,

I have been looking at Iain Wade's Net::Gnutella on CPAN and it looks to be pretty well stale. I was thinking of starting work on something similar to bring it up to the current level of clients out there (ultra peers, swarm downloads, checksum passing etc). Before I go charging into this, I was wondering if anyone knows of any other modules that are more up to date with the current protocol (and advanced features). I have done quite a few googles on this but have not been able to find anything. Any info you know of would be great -- I don’t want to reinvent the wheel if I don’t need to.

    I don't know anything about Net::Gnutella, but if you are going to need to re-write large chunks to get it up to snuff, you might consider writting it as a POE component.

    when playing arround with modules that need to be doing things continuously, I find that the POE Component versions tend to be more useable then a lot of the other alternatives, because you can plug them together easily.
