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 0.18

  • Introduction of UNIX socket support. Socket descriptors are written to /var/tmp and given rw access by all by default for best support on multi-user systems.
  • Importing SOMAXCONN and using for socket server listener max socket connections (was hard coded at 10) for best (and system-level flexible) thread spawn stability under high load.
