- What is the hobbitd_filter program? The comment is:

It's a left-over from some early thoughts I had about how to deal with clients.
but I don't see where it gets called from hobbitd or launched as a separate process. I'm very intrigued by this code and what I can accomplish with it.
It was never finished, so you cannot do anything with it. What did you have in mind ?
Embedding a Perl interpreter, hooking into the message stream, a la mod_perl. hobbitd_filter would be the perfect place for this since hobbitd workers can only connect to one channel. In order to create hooks for the various message types, I'd have to have an embedded perl worker running for each channel and they wouldn't be able to (easily) share cached code, memory, etc.
There may be other ways to accomplish what I'm doing. I'll keep researching.
