The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 2.24

  • Compatibility fixes.
  • Avoid using 127.1.1.1 and 127.2.2.2 because it breaks on some platforms (Irix).
  • Handle condition where nonblocking tcp connects immediately connect on some platforms (solaris and freebsd) and to be SMP safer.
  • Win32 $p->ack( $host ) method should now work.
  • Add ack( $host ) test cases to test suite.
