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

Changes for version 0.44

  • Allow Process to have sockets as handles; including datagram sockets
  • BUGFIXES:
    • Extract TimeQueue entiries before firing them, in case they do something weird like cancelling themselves (RT70231)
    • Test dollarbang for EWOULDBLOCK which might help MSWin32
    • Cope correctly with Function handles in the presence of -CS or PERL_UNICODE=S
