Changes for version 0.04 - 2017-10-19

  • added examples/shared.pl, shared variable between all events and the parent
  • major overhaul on PID handling which provided the ability to rework status() to be much more reliable (and effective)
  • we now set $SIG{CHLD}="IGNORE" to avoid defunct processes
  • added Carp (croak) for all fatal errors
  • status() now returns -1 if an event has crashed, providing the user with the ability to restart the event, or take other action
  • added examples/timeout.pl and examples/event_crash.pl
