There is an ongoing outage on the primary CPAN mirror. It is possible to work around the issue by using MetaCPAN as a mirror.

Changes for version 1.2 - 2013-06-10

  • do not use vfork with spawnp, to avoid running into lots of problems (execvp might call malloc, better thread safety etc.), at the cost of using fork instead of vfork.
  • fix a (rather theoretical) memory corruption bug.

Modules

fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
