Changes from previous:
0.15 1 Jul 2011
Clean up POD. Close bug #69057. Other minor tweaks to POD.
0.13 23 Jun 2011
No functional changes. Fix for test timeout.t.
Fix strict undefined symbol error in timeout.t, when Time::HiRes is not present.
Not sure if constant pragma will exist in all supported perl versions,
so, we just commented out the use strict in this test.
Print warning when Time::HiRes not found in Makefile.PL
0.12 20 Jun 2011
Conditionally add 'LICENSE' => 'perl' to WriteMakefile()
call if $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION >= 6.3002.
Added support for timeout_call() in fractional seconds
expressed as a floating point number. If Time::HiRes
is not loadable, then the timeout value is raised to the
next high integer value with the POSIX:ceil() funtion.
Added sig_alarm(), which timeout_call uses. This is drop
in replacement for alarm(). If Time::HiRes
is not loadable, then the seconds argument is raised to the
next high integer value with the POSIX:ceil() funtion.
(optionally) returns an object which causes the signal handler to be reset
to the previous value, when it goes out of scope.
Also implemented is timeout_call() which takes a timeout value and a code
reference, and executes the code reference wrapped with an alarm timeout.
Finally, two convenience routines are defined which allow one to get the
signal name from the number -- sig_name(), and get the signal number from
the name -- sig_number().
