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 6.53 - 2018-12-16

  • the autogenerated prototypes of Coro::AIO now add ";" at the end to avoid generating named unary operators and messing up parsing (mostly affects aio_mlockall 4 | 8 which was parsed as (aio_mlockall 4) | 8).
  • do not use a prototype for select in Coro::Select, as CORE::select also doesn't have one.
