Revision history for Proc-Exists
0.91 2008-11-08 22:49 GMT rev. 437
- pureperl Makefile.PL goop: use Errno @ la POSIX if it's available
- Makefile.PL now accepts an optional -cc=/path/to/c-compiler
- Makefile.PL will try $ENV{CC} if it exists
- add warning about HPUX and why we usually need pureperl there
- silence warnings when Makefile.PL is invoked with perl -w
0.90 2008-06-23 08:52 GMT rev. 409
- API change: pexists(... {any=>1}) returns pid of process found
- API now frozen until 1.00
- don't muck with return value on win32 - just warn in place
- xs and pp give same error message with non-int PIDs now.
- implement _list_pexists in XS for extra speed, minimizing the
perl "wrapping" around raw XS in this case
- clean up lots of duplication in XS via static inline __pexists in
pexists.h
- _scalar_pexists now works on win32
0.15 2008-06-21 09:53 GMT rev. 380
- fix XS on perl 5.5.x
0.14 2008-06-21 08:32 GMT rev. 378
- catch unexpected return / errno values in _scalar_pexists
- try cc before alternatives. add pcc and lcc to possible alternatives
- Makefile.Pl supports --xs and --pureperl arguments, prompts
with informative text if not given one (default XS)
- improve error handling with invalid PIDs (strings, ints < 0)
- fix problem with test suite where installed XS was used in place
of the version in blib/
0.13 2008-06-04 10:19 GMT rev. 359
- for speed, i18n, portability, and simplicity, pp_pexists now uses
the numeric (not string) value of $! - in particular this fixes the
pure perl implementation with non-english locales:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/06/msg1578246.html
- better handling of unexpected conditions in both perl and xs
- add misc/gather-info.pl for better portability data gathering
- Proc::Exists::Configuration maintains EPERM and ESRCH values
so we needn't rely on POSIX. Makefile.PL uses POSIX only if
it's available at build time to determine these constants,
otherwise we use the common EPERM==1, ESRCH==3
- POD updated.
- bring PREREQ_PM in line with reality, even for "trivial" modules
- solaris10/gcc hacks are no longer triggered on all gnu systems
- fix typo in Changes file: 0.12 was released in June, not May
0.12 2008-06-01 01:35 GMT rev. 338
- fix an obvious, and critical bug in t/01.usage.t (raw omelette,
yum!), thanks ANDK
- various cleanups
- minor optimization for the pureperl case
- add t/01.info.t so we can glean some info about unusual OS's
i don't have access to from smokers.
0.11 2008-05-17 23:35 GMT rev. ~321
- win32 code made simpler AND faster, w00t.
- various hacks to make solaris10 work with a stubbed cc
but a real gcc
0.10 2008-02-19 07:27 GMT rev. ~299

0.09 2008-02-02 08:31 GMT rev. ~290
- nuttin but kwalitee and POD tweaks
0.08 2008-01-30 07:07 GMT rev. ~282
- more tests
- optimized for the many processes case via _scalar_pexists()
- tweak errno tests for possibly enhanced portability
- commented out roadmap for Mac OS (< X) support
- silence some warnings from cygwin/gcc
0.07 2008-01-22 12:39 GMT rev. ~266

0.06 2008-01-21 18:28 GMT rev. ~263
- POD updates and some other minor things.
- fast, experimental (read: non-functioning) code in Exists.xs

- Win32/XS support
- Remove POD/PCritic tests from MANIFEST, distribution (still in svn)
- Many Kwalitee, PCritic cleanups, including updating this file ;-)
