I'd like to register as a CPAN author.

I've got a few modules I'd like to contribute after discussing them on the
#perl and #london.pm IRC channels as well as Perl Monger mailing lists and,
of course, comp.lang.perl.modules.

There is Tie::Scalar::Timeout, a module for timing out scalar variables.
Then there is a family of modules implementing IO streams, much like Java
does. More modules are in the pipeline, to be done when I got some spare
time.

Tie::Scalar::Timeout's DSLI is 'abpr'. So far, Tie::Scalar::Timeout has
been briefly discussed on london.pm, but got a very good feedback.

If you need any more information, please let me know.


    NAME
        Tie::Scalar::Timeout - Scalar variables that time out

    SYNOPSIS
            use Tie::Scalar::Timeout;

            tie my $k, 'Tie::Scalar::Timeout', MAXAGE => 2;

            $k = 123;
            sleep(3);
            # $k is now undef

    DESCRIPTION
        This module allows you to tie a scalar variable whose value will be
        reset to undef after a certain time. When tying, you can specify
        arguments in the form of a hash. Use `MAXAGE' to specify the number of
        seconds after which the value will be reset to zero. (Technically, the
        value will still be there, but the module's FETCH sub will return
        `undef'.) Using the `VALUE' hash key, you can specify an initial value.

        One possible application for this module might be to time out session
        variables in mod_perl programs.
