+Everything right now is more or less peachy. I regularly use seven protocols
+at the same time and don't have any problems (all of them except Napster and
+Zephyr). You shouldn't be using 0.10.3; there are serious bugs in it (including
+a remote exploit). Always use CVS, or if not, the most recent release.

-Perl also got a good reworking, but also has a few more features now. Again,

+Perl has its good side and bad side. It didn't completely survive the transition
