-Thrift Perl Software Library
-
-# Summary
-
-Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development.
-It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work
-efficiently and seamlessly between many programming languages. A language-neutral IDL
-is used to generate functioning client libraries and server-side handling frameworks.

-# Using Thrift with Perl
-
-Thrift requires Perl >= 5.10.0
-
-Unexpected exceptions in a service handler are converted to
-TApplicationException with type INTERNAL ERROR and the string
-of the exception is delivered as the message.
-
-On the client side, exceptions are thrown with die, so be sure
-to wrap eval{} statments around any code that contains exceptions.
-
-Please see tutoral and test dirs for examples.
-
-The Perl ForkingServer ignores SIGCHLD allowing the forks to be
-reaped by the operating system naturally when they exit. This means
-one cannot use a custom SIGCHLD handler in the consuming perl
-implementation that calls serve(). It is acceptable to use
-a custom SIGCHLD handler within a thrift handler implementation
-as the ForkingServer resets the forked child process to use
-default signal handling.
-
-# Dependencies
-
-The following modules are not provided by Perl 5.10.0 but are required
-to use Thrift.
-
-## Runtime
-
- * Bit::Vector
- * Class::Accessor
-
-### HttpClient Transport
-
-These are only required if using Thrift::HttpClient:
-
- * HTTP::Request
- * IO::String
- * LWP::UserAgent
-
-### SSL/TLS
-
-These are only required if using Thrift::SSLSocket or Thrift::SSLServerSocket:
-
- * IO::Socket::SSL
-
-# Breaking Changes
-
-## 0.10.0
-
-The socket classes were refactored in 0.10.0 so that there is one package per
-file. This means `use Socket;` no longer defines SSLSocket. You can use this
-technique to make your application run against 0.10.0 as well as earlier versions:
-
-`eval { require Thrift::SSLSocket; } or do { require Thrift::Socket; }`
-
-## 0.11.0
-
- * Namespaces of packages that were not scoped within Thrift have been fixed.
- ** TApplicationException is now Thrift::TApplicationException
- ** TException is now Thrift::TException
- ** TMessageType is now Thrift::TMessageType
- ** TProtocolException is now Thrift::TProtocolException
- ** TProtocolFactory is now Thrift::TProtocolFactory
- ** TTransportException is now Thrift::TTransportException
- ** TType is now Thrift::TType
-
-If you need a single version of your code to work with both older and newer thrift
-namespace changes, you can make the new, correct namespaces behave like the old ones
-in your files with this technique to create an alias, which will allow you code to
-run against either version of the perl runtime for thrift:
-
-`BEGIN {*TType:: = *Thrift::TType::}`
-
- * Packages found in Thrift.pm were moved into the Thrift/ directory in separate files:
- ** Thrift::TApplicationException is now in Thrift/Exception.pm
- ** Thrift::TException is now in Thrift/Exception.pm
- ** Thrift::TMessageType is now in Thrift/MessageType.pm
- ** Thrift::TType is now in Thrift/Type.pm
-
-If you need to modify your code to work against both older or newer thrift versions,
-you can deal with these changes in a backwards compatible way in your projects using eval:
-
-`eval { require Thrift::Exception; require Thrift::MessageType; require Thrift::Type; }
- or do { require Thrift; }`
-
-# Deprecations
-
-## 0.11.0
-
-Thrift::HttpClient setRecvTimeout() and setSendTimeout() are deprecated.
-Use setTimeout instead.
