The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 1.9713 - 2008-04-04

  • for alarm() and ualarm() [Perl] prefer setitimer() [C] instead of ualarm() [C] since ualarm() [C] cannot portably (and standards-compliantly) be used for more than 999_999 microseconds (rt.cpan.org #34655)
  • it seems that HP-UX has started (at least in 11.31 ia64) #defining the CLOCK_REALTIME et alia (instead of having them just as enums)
  • document all the diagnostics

Modules

High resolution alarm, sleep, gettimeofday, interval timers
