Changes for version 0.90 - 2008-06-23

  • API change: pexists(... {any=>1}) returns pid of process found
  • API now frozen until 1.00
  • don't muck with return value on win32 - just warn in place
  • xs and pp give same error message with non-int PIDs now.
  • implement _list_pexists in XS for extra speed, minimizing the perl "wrapping" around raw XS in this case
  • clean up lots of duplication in XS via static inline __pexists in pexists.h
  • _scalar_pexists now works for win32
