Revision history for Perl extension Win32::ProcFarm

2.15 Fri Jan 9 2004

• Added parens to my line in Child.pl to eliminate warning.

2.14 Wed Jan 7 2004

• Added support for using an executable (i.e. PerlApp based) for the child processes.
• Migrated Win32 directory into lib and updated Manifest and Makefile.pl.

2.13 Fri Jan 11 15:00:00 2002

• Discovered and fixed a very nasty bug related to my fixes for the Win32::GetTickCount() wrap-around bugs. I was initializing the next_list_check and next_exit_check fields with 0, which meant that if the current Win32::GetTickCount() value was > 2^31, it would be a very long time before those checks were run!
• Added support for adding more threads to a pool at runtime. No support exists for reducing the size of a pool.
• Doing the above require minor edits to the Port object to support dealing with limited listeners. The code to add threads was modified to support parallelization through a limited number of listeners.
• Fixed typo bug relating to result_sub
• Extended result_sub to normal pools
• Added support for limiting the rate at which jobs execute
• Set things up so that the order jobs are listed in waiting_pool matches the order in which they will execute.
• Update PingFeedback.pl sample to use result_sub
• Patched bug in TickCount.pm that manifested under 5.005. Guess what? 2**32 == 0! Thanks for finding this one go to Sam Crosby.
• Updated and extended the samples.
• Added a few extra hints to Docs/tutorial.pod.
