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

Changes for version 0.03

  • No longer build_requires 'Glib' - print a warning if it's not installed but carry on anyway.
  • IO_Poll->loop_once() now returns the result from the poll() call
  • Added concept of nested child notifiers within Notifier object
  • BUGFIXES:
    • Fix to test scripts that call IO_Poll's loop_once() with a timeout of zero. This can cause a kernel race condition, so supply some small non-zero value instead.
