Standalone Comment and Trackback Update
This release of my comment and trackback package allows you to reject comments and trackbacks that contain an excessive number of links. It also corrects an error in the regular expression used to extract the host name from links.
I suspect this will be the last version using the Perl Storable module. My recent experience with comment bludgeoning has demonstrated the limitations of the current adminstrative interface. And I think that I'm going to need better query capability to remove those limitations.
