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

Changes for version 0.19

  • Allow control of Sequencer's pipelining
  • Documentation fixes
  • Allow Loop->run_child to take a 'setup' array
  • Added 'setuid', 'setgid' and 'setgroups' child setup operations
  • Support 'on_notifier' in Loop->listen
  • BUGFIXES:
    • carp before return in Stream->write so it actually prints
    • Ensure Streams still work after being closed and reopened by ->set_handle
    • If IO::Socket->new() fails, try again with generic ->socket (makes IPv6 work on platforms without IO::Socket::INET6)
