Since posting the above, I've learned of some more useful Penguin
resources not linked to from the above page.

	Penguin FAQ
	http://www.hawk.igs.net/~jduncan/penguin/FAQ

	The Penguin Model for Secure Distributed Internet Scripting
	http://momo.uthscsa.edu/~humberto/project.html

	Penguin security whitepaper
	http://www.hawk.igs.net/~jduncan/penguin/SECURITY

	CPAN mirror of One-Penguin-pre2 source
	ftp://ftp.metronet.com/pub/perl/authors/id/FSG/

	Penguin::Easy, an easy version of Penguin
	http://www.hawk.igs.net/~jduncan/penguin/

Again, Penguin is a scheme for distributed and sandboxed execution of
signed perl code.  I'm interested in hearing analysis of Penguin by
people not already tied to the project.  Thanks.
