In my last message I wrote:

(The problem with your module is that it uses die all over the place
forcing me to litter my code with a mess of evals and that sometimes
when an error is returned it's hard to check if the article is just
missing or if there is some bigger problem.)

I'd love to be able to use the real function, but I don't know a lot
about making good perl packages and I'm not sure if it's reasonable to
expect a XS perl module to build and be correctly installed out of the
box on all systems INN supports.
Russ?

I also have my News::INN::ICC perl module which would remove the need to
spawn ctlinnd in all the scripts. (http://www.linux.it/~md/software/)
