Revision history for Perl extension Tie::DB_Lock.

0.01 Tue May 26 16:27:27 1998

• original version; created by h2xs 1.18

0.02 Thu Jul 23 11:08:25 EDT 1998

• I had omitted a file (db/README) from MANIFEST, that made "make test" fail. The code was still fully operational, but the test failed.

0.03 Thu Jul 23 18:52:07 EDT 1998

• cpan-testers report that 'make test' fails test 4,5,6 on Irix. I'm not sure why, so I've added a 'verbose' mode to 'make test', and one more test (#4) that may shed some light. Do "make test TEST_VERBOSE=1" to try it. None of the real functionality of the module is different in this release.

• Apparently cpan-testers can't get the tests to pass on i86pc-solaris 2.6 either. The error shown under TEST_VERBOSE=1 is "Bad file number." Perhaps this has something to do with the FileHandle package. I've added a VERY_VERBOSE=1 test flag that

  should help track the problem further - it just sets the variable $Tie::DB_Lock::VERBOSE to 1.

• Changed the TIEHASH method so that it returns undef when the $TIEPACK->TIEHASH method fails. This makes error checking much more reliable.

0.06 Tue Sep 8 00:42:46 EDT 1998

• Put a #line statement at line 161. Shouldn't affect performance, but now Perl should know which line it dies at when it dies.

0.07 Tue Oct 22 16:14:29 CDT 2002

• Fixed a bug with auto-arguments in &subr syntax which could cause weird temporary filenames [spotted by Gavin Brock]
