* Daniel Lintott of the Debian Perl Group reported that the HTTP::Async proxy
tests were broken with a development version of HTTP-Server-Simple (0.45_1)

Thanks Daniel!

calls, to be a better TAP citizen

* Better POD docs for the counting methods
- Requested by Dave Hodgkinson via rt.cpan.org
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
Add LICENSE
Add missing BUILD_DEPENDS for regress test

a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

Although using the conventional LWP::UserAgent is fast and easy it
does have some drawbacks - the code execution blocks until the
request has been completed and it is only possible to process one
request at a time. HTTP::Async attempts to address these limitations.
It gives you a 'Async' object that you can add requests to, and
then get the requests off as they finish. The actual sending and
receiving of the requests is abstracted. As soon as you add a
request it is transmitted, if there are too many requests in progress
at the moment they are queued. There is no concept of starting or
stopping - it runs continuously.
Whilst it is waiting to receive data it returns control to the code
that called it meaning that you can carry out processing whilst
fetching data from the network. All without forking or threading
- it is actually done using select lists.
