* Save caller info so that protocol errors give useful tracebacks (use Carp::longmess?) * Use (Self|Auto)Loader to reduce startup time; would require major restructuring * Documentation needs more examples, better explanations. Borrow text from official protocol spec? * Real test suite Porting: 64-bit architectures? avoid '/' as path separator; use File::something?
