-  - Sys::!SigAction.  This isn't strictly required;  it's used in an example hook for validating customer IDs against an external database.

+    - Sys::!SigAction.  This isn't strictly required;  it's used in an example hook for validating customer IDs against an external database.  It could arguably be replaced with sigaction() from the POSIX module when using Perl >= 5.8.2.  See eg [http://search.cpan.org/~lbaxter/Sys-SigAction-0.11/lib/Sys/SigAction.pm Sys::SigAction] for some thoughts on the gritty details.
 - PostgreSQL v7.4 or higher.  Postgres provides an IP address/IP netblock data type, and operators to match;  much of the functionality relies on these database operations.  Other database engines could be used, with varying degress of trouble and hackery.  v8.x is probably a good idea since 7.x is no longer supported upstream.
 - Webserver supporting CGI executables.  Note that the current code is somewhat inflexible about its web path, but that's due to be fixed (see #3, #15, and #17).
