I think you are talking about a different module. There is one 
that interfaces to the SLA library. This is not that one. This 
one is pure perl and was just created this year by Robert. 
Patrick Wallace, the guy that authored the SLA library, was very 
supportive of this version, because I think he gets a lot of 
inquiries for the other module but most people can't handle 
getting the SLA library (which is not cheap).

Cheers,
