I updated the Perl API to support new features in the 0.1.0 release of
libvirt & uploaded a release to CPAN available from the following URL:  

  http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/Sys-Virt-0.1.0/

NB, due to a combination of a bug in the API docs & the CPAN indexer,
the API docs online there are incorrect. The man pages generated during
installation are, however, just fine. Be sure to check out the handfull
of example programs which illustrate some ways of using the APIs to perform
simple tasks - eg dumping XML, display domain summary and a 'vmstat' like
tool for monitoring guest domains.

Regards,
Dan.
