ANNOUNCE: AFS Perl API 2.4.0 released

AFS Perl API Version 2.4.0
I am pleased to announce the AFS Perl API 2.4.0 release

The AFS module bundle is a dynamically loadable extension to
Perl. It gives the AFS user and administrator access to many of
the AFS programming APIs, allowing you to make these calls
directly from Perl, rather then processing the output of a
command. The AFS module bundle is a thin layer above the low-level
AFS APIs.

Where To Get It
The version 2.4.0 is now available at

http://www.MPA-Garching.MPG.de/~nog/perl/AFS-2.4.0.tar.gz
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/N/NO/NOG/AFS-2.4.0.tar.gz

This release should work on all UNIX/Linux platforms which have
AFS API interfaces and the appropriate C compilation environment.

User Visible Changes in this Release
- New module BOS which implements most commands of the BOS command suite.
- compiles now with OpenAFS 1.4 system libraries
- improved test drivers

Maybe it would be nice to hint at what AFS is (I couldn't come up with it,
even though I have heard of AFS before). Just:

"AFS is a distributed filesystem product"

would have been enough to make me remember :-D
