Changes for version 0.50 - 2000-03-21
- Complete rewrite incorporating the following changes.
- Requires 5.00503. This allowed the module to get rid of the global cache for shared memory segments; each Shareable object now carries around its own data.
- 5.00503 also allowed tied arrays to be implemented
- Shared memory segments can no longer be of infinite length thereby reducing the amount of code in the module by a factor of 2.
- Uses IPC::Shareable::SharedMem class for accessing shared memory.
- Uses IPC::Semaphore module for accessing semaphores.
- Completely revisited the way references are dealed with: all referenced thingies are now automagically tied to shared memory.
- Constants now imported from IPC::SysV; Shareable.xs is gone
- Rewrote test suite and moved into t subdirectory
- Updated man page
