Win32-IPC version 1.08, released December 11, 2010

The Win32-IPC modules provide access to the Win32 sychronization objects, which are (currently) documented at

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686364(VS.85).aspx

The supported sychronization objects and associated modules are:

  Event     - Win32::Event
  Mutex     - Win32::Mutex

Semaphore - Win32::Semaphore

In addition, the Win32::ChangeNotify module provides access to directory change notifications, which let you monitor a specified directory tree for file modifications. While not strictly a synchronization object, change notifications are often used in similar ways.

INSTALLATION

To install these modules, run the following commands:

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

DEPENDENCIES

You'll need a suitable C compiler.
Microsoft Visual C++ 6 or MinGW GCC should work. You can also build it with GCC under Cygwin.
