[Pangloss] status update 08-09-2003

[Steve Purkis]

Hi all,

The first round of Pangloss development is nearing a close.  The past 
two weeks have seen a spike implementation of the URL search (the last 
major feature left), and a whole load of testing.  Unfortunately, I've 
had to remove the 'dates' box from the front-end as I won't have time 
to implement them.  As usual, you can try it out at:

	http://staging.quiup.com:8888/

If you'd like to run the tests yourself, see t/benchmark.pl and 
t/stress-test.pl.  Initial runs on my server and development machines 
show the back-end application will handle my expected load of 25 
concurrent users.  I haven't pushed it any higher than that at the 
moment.

If you have Devel::Profile installed, you can see where the search 
bottlenecks are by running:

	% perl -d:Profile t/benchmark.pl;
	% cat prof.out

The distribution is available at:

	http://staging.quiup.com/perl/Pangloss-2003-09-08.tar.gz

Cheers,
-Steve
