Changes for version 0.10 - 2013-08-17

  • Tuned SIGCHLD handling again (thanks to the ASF for their merciless "ab").
  • Added support for DEFAULT, IGNORE and undef child signal handlers.
  • _read_child_data(): Read more than one data chunk per call but not too many.
  • Execute child_data_hook in separate process unless data_hook_in_main is true.
  • t/02-data_hook.t needs data_hook_in_main => 1.

Modules

A simple non-threaded, non-OO, pre-forking, self-regulating, multi-purpose multi-processing module. Period.
