Revision history for Perl extension PPerl.

0.25

• Fix exec code
• Call srand so children aren't all the same random seed
• Fix strange behaviour where perl can't see value in lexical $cycles after loop. Making $cycles a package var fixes this for some reason.

0.24

• More tests (richardc)
• Made exec() work (see t/19invoke_djbish.t if you're curious)

0.23

• Locks around race points
• More improvements to cleanup

0.22

• Attempt to work around a race condition
• Added support for turning off cleanup routines
• Cleanup socket a little better on shutdown

0.21

• Support maxclients setting on command line
• Slightly improved debugging
• chomp $version in pperl.h - multiline strings are a gcc extension and deprecated
• Fixed dickvd bug (again)

0.20

• Fix for the Dick Van Dyke bug

0.19

• Rejig the generated code to fix a nasty closure bug

0.18

• Made $$ changes work on perl 5.8
• Set $0
• Some bug fixes

0.17

• Renamed pperl.c to main.c to allow building on case-insensitive file systems (HFS+, samba)
• pid propogation
• Minor rework of the script slurping including moving __DATA__ and end blocks to the end. __END__ detection

0.16

• Tests and fixes for: -T behaviour. fork(), tied data, autoclose behavior, signal propogation, broken test 00stevens.t.
• Cleanups for: argument passing. Amount of stuff in PPerl.xs. Strict prototyping of subs. Internal use of macros for speed.

0.15

• Minor fixes

0.14

• Switched entire model to pass fd's over the socket, rather than all of STDIN/STDOUT. This means we no longer have to do lots of messing with select() - it all just "works". Many beers to RichardC for this work.

0.13

• Implement wide-open sockets (for people who need to run the same script as different users). Note this may have bad security "issues".
• Turn off strict for actual script (script may turn it on again).
