The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 1.47

  • do not use -lrt in Linux (from March Lehmann)
    • unnecessary (nanosleep is in libc anyway)
    • harmful (-lrt slows down execution)
    • incompatible (with many distributions' pthreads)

Modules

High resolution alarm, sleep, gettimeofday, interval timers
