Changes since 0.33.4
- Added support for getting private bus connections for apps which
don't want to deal with a shared bus
- Fix test case to use a private connection
- On Perl builds where integers are 32-bits, the DBus 64 bit integer
types will be serialized to/from the Perl String type instead of
calling 'die'.
- Fix signature when marshalling dicts on newer DBus builds
- Fix calling of disconnect wrt to newer DBus semantics
- Make introspection much more tolerant of missing information
about methods/properties/signals.
- Fix use of magic values & added tests
- Export the Net::DBus::Dumper methods correctly.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in terms
of complexity.
D-BUS supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus decreasing
latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be low-overhead;
messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using XML. D-BUS also
supports a method call mapping for its messages, but it is not required;
this makes using the system quite simple.
This package provides the Perl D-BUS bindings.
