MoleSter 0.0.4 - now 6 lines, 466 bytes

MoleSter 0.0.4 - now 6 lines, 466 bytes: Crazy Perl h@x0r5

"Dr. Edward Felten recently posted a piece of code called TinyP2P, which demonstrates how easy it is to create a peer-to-peer filesharing application by doing it in just 15 lines of Python. However, TinyP2P uses a ready-made XMLRPC server library, which seems to me to be taking the easy way out. Here's my response: MoleSter, a non-trivial filesharing application in 6 lines of Perl, using no protocol library more sophisticated than TCP."
