7Recent Changes
8--------------
9 * ResourcePool did use a stringified object as key in a hash
10 reference. This has been replaced by using Tie::RefHash.
11
12Installation
13------------
14 ResourcePool is a pure perl implemented module and should
15 therefore run everywhere where perl is already installed.
16
17 The well known procedure is:
18 perl Makefile.PL
19 make
20 make test
21 make install
22
23Examples
24--------
25 Are included in the manpages which come with this distribution.
26 The ResourcePool::BigPicture(3pm) manpage is the right point
27 to start to get the overview, after that feel free to visit
28 the ResourcePool(3pm) and ResourcePool::LoadBalancer(3pm)
29 manpages.

31Resource bindings
32-----------------
33 To do something usefull with ResourcePool you will need
34 resource bindings. There are some bindings available for
35 download from CPAN. Those bindings live in the
36 ResourcePool::Resource namespace, for example the Net::LDAP
37 binding has the name ResourcePool::Resource::Net::LDAP, if you
38 can not find the required bindings, please consult the
39 ResourcePool::ExtensionGuide(3pm) manpage for details how to
40 create one.
41
42 Available bindings on CPAN (as of 2009-11-25):
43 Net::LDAP
44 DBI
45 Alzabo
46 SOAP::Lite
47
48 The Net::LDAP and DBI bindings where included in the ResourcePool
49 core package in all 0.99xx versions of ResourcePool. Since
50 release 1.0000 they are no longer included in this package
51 and have to be installed seperately.

53How to contribute?
54------------------
