Re^2: Correcting/changing a CPAN module interface

Yes I agree it's a bug fix - I'm probably being anal.

The thing is that HTTP::Daemon::SSL is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for HTTP::Daemon, which has a very established api, so I think I do need to change the default behaviour.

I actually wasn't aware that CPAN didn't install modules with a _xx development version number, so I'll go that route first and solicit feedback that way.

You can also turn it around and give `HTTP::Daemon::SSL` a new parameter to enforce bug compatibility. That could happen at load time, as in `use HTTP::Daemon::SSL qw( compat);` [download] but it could be individual with `accept( ..., compat => 1`. In the (unlikely) case that something relies on `accept` not to time out, there'd be a way to fix it. Anno	[reply] [d/l] [select]
