Yes, we have been doing some code clean up as we go along.

Haha.  I am thinking of changing  it from the semi-valid XML it
outputs to something simpler and cleaner .. either JSON or
comma:separated pairs.

We have been doing some code clean up as we use it so I will submit
our little patches as well for that to the PNP list.

Will check that out, but we really need to send data to our second
server so unless it uses a socket-based system :) I will continue to
work with and on modpnpsender.  The system I have been describing has
been in place for 4+ months and has been very stable .. no segfaults
or unexpected behavior.

We can discuss more on the PNP mailing list if you would prefer ... I
was even thinking of changing from TCP to UDP for the modpnpsender
code, that would reduce the impact on the sending system and receiving
system and the network traffic between the two systems.  Also was
going to put the destination host IP, port and the debug flag in an
external config file so that the module doesn't have to be recompiled
when the destination IP changes :).

I understand it was not production ready, I am very glad you included
it as with some minor changes it has been working very well for us!
