Revision history for Perl script wakeonlan.

0.10  2000-04-19  ico@edd.dhs.org

    - Initial release. This works for me...
    - Tested with 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx


0.20  2000-04-23  ico@edd.dhs.org

    - Major bugfix. When the called system is not known in the ARP-table,
      no packets are sent. Solved by allowing broadcast-addresses. Use
      broadcast address as IP and all should work....
      (Thanks to Egon Kastelijn for making the problem clear to me
      <egon.kastelijn@xs4all.nl>)


0.30  2000-07-01  ico@edd.dhs.org

    - Some cleaning done by Jose Pedro Oliveira <jpo@di.uminho.pt>:
        1. Forced variable declaration with the pragma 'use strict'
        2. Removed the bind call (we don't expect to receive any reply)
        3. Simplified the packet generation


0.31  2000-07-17  ico@edd.dhs.org

    - Changes made by Jose Pedro Oliveira <jpo@di.uminho.pt>
        1. Changed the destination port from the echo (7) to the
           discard port (9) in order to avoid the reply from an awaken
           computer with an active echo service.
        2. Removed variables $laddr and $me
        3. Closed the socket
        4. Added the variable $VERSION
        5. Added a link in the README file of the Whitepaper subdirectory
    - Other changes :
        6. Completer checks for valid HW-address (Ico Doornekamp)
        7. Fixed wrong return value on 'die' (Oliver Jones)
