Revision history for Perl extension Unix::PID.

0.23 Mon Apr 4 16:01:10 2011

• option to wait between kill and re-check

0.22 Fri Dec 24 11:07:12 2010

• rt 64190: fix broken regex, thanks mcartmell!
• rt 59366: fix return value logic, thanks galumph!
• rt 57634: is_pid_running() use /proc if available , thanks GWADEJ!

0.21 Tue May 18 10:31:47 2010

• make open3 error handle a glob ref so it is not duped into the read handle (duh!)
• Memory pedantic system fixups:
  • make use of open3 optional
  • comment out strict and warnings (should still run under them)
  • put POD in different file (doesn't really gain anything, mainly for easing worried minds)

0.20 Thu May 13 08:03:15 2010

• pidfile END block only unlink if PID in file is $$ (so fork()s won't bork a process not their own via END copy)
• start doing changelog top down
