Changes for version 0.08

  • Shared entities that were also blessed as an object, were not correctly handled (ref() versus Scalar::Util::reftype() ). Spotted by Jack Steadman. Now fixed by using reftype() rather than ref().
  • Dependency on Scalar::Util added (not sure when that became core). Added tests to excercise Thread::Queue (if available).
  • 10 October 2003 Changed async() to make it a little faster by removing an extra call from the stack.
