[icecast] ices - perl/python modules

[Dave Snodgrass]

Hi there, im wondering if anyone has any guidelines on things such as
max execution times, etc on functions like ices_perl_get_next.

Obviously, you don't want ANY execution time really per se, but, as a
test I had ices go and do an sql call that took ~2 seconds before
returning a track file. Which resulted in a segfault. (output at bottom)

Also - as a side note, for anyone who doesn't realize - any modules you
write must return 1. Not just the functions, but for the module itself.

(example: ices.pm will not work as is. If you add a return 1; to the
bottom, it will return properly, and ices will start. (albeit broken -
you most likely don't have the default mp3 - but it will keep execing
next_track in a loop) If not, it complains about returning a null value
and wont start.)
