At risk of being a total noob I have to ask... Where does one begin
with Perlbal?

I've looked at what is in CPAN and on the Perlbal site. I've even
asked around to some people I thought might know and the stock answer
seems to be "just play around with it." Looking at what I found I
could hardly find even a starting point for that though. I've looked
around for a primer or a tutorial to getting started, but don't see
anything. I saw the it was presented at OSCON last year and thought
the ProNet post on it would have a link to the presentations but alas
no link.

> Artur and Brad's presentation on "LiveJournal's Secret Spin-offs" will be posted as soon as it is available (check back here for the link) - memcached, Perlbal, MogileFS and djabberd are all Open Source applications..."


Sorry to sound so dense, but I'm at a loss here. Any tips of
enlightenment would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Tim,

$ PERL Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ sudo make install

And then look at conf/* for example configs (with embedded docs), and
doc/* for more documentation.

As I suspected I made a noob mistake. Thanks for not completely
flaming me. Still it would be helpful if the PODs or the website
mentioned those files. Actually what would be really great is if those
text documents became PODs so they were searchable on CPAN. <tim/>
