I was interested in using the Perl server from the 2004-04-20 
distribution, assuming it can be integrated with other files on the 
server.  I'm running Apache 2.1.3 with mod_perl 1.999_20 but was unable 
to get things running without some adjustments, as detailed below:

The configuration generated by ModPubSub.pm failed with an error 
message "Option ExecCGI now allowed here." I copied the configuration 
into httpd.conf and commented out the "$Directory =" and "$Location =" 
lines in ModPubSub.pm. I updated the syntax to use "PerlResponseHandler 
ModPerl::Registry" and "PerlOptions +ParseHeaders". I also created an 
alias for /kn to /var/www/mod_pubsub/cgi-bin/pubsub.cgi. This lets me 
start up Apache with mod_pubsub running.

Most of the test programs failed after the one that tries to create a 
tunnel.  I'm using a Mac and tried Safari and Firefox with the same 
results.  I did verify that mod_pubsub was generating directories and 
files in /kn_events.  Should I conclude that my problems are on the 
browser side rather than the server side?

If I can get this stuff running, I could perhaps help with your 
documentation effort.  I'm not sure how much information you had on the 
currently unavailable Wiki, but I'm finding things pretty hard to dig 
through.

Thanks,
Bob Carlitz
