This Perl script (as the subject line says) allows a user to switch
between NNTP servers and keep unread articles unread, read articles
read.
You will want to create a file socket.pl from the header file
<sys/socket.h>. Just do:
h2ph < /usr/include/sys/socket.h > socket.pl
You probably want to customize the $libdir variable (where the
message-ID caches for the newsgroups are placed).
If you are only going to run this program once, you can remove the
dbmopen and dbmclose commands to 'turn off' caching.
