It's no longer in category 'devel'.
PERL5_CONFIGURE is already the default if we include module.mk.
No more pre-configure necessary, the maintainer integrated the reported
fix for Solaris.
Relevant changes since 1.52
===========================
1.56
- Give a clearer message if the tests timeout (perl change #22253)
- Don't use /tmp or its moral equivalents (perl bug #15036,
perl change #22258)
1.55
- Windows: ming32 patch from Mike Pomraning (use Perl's Const64()
instead of VC-specific i64 suffix)
1.54
- Solaris: like Tru64 (dec_osf) also Solaris need -lrt for nanosleep
1.53
- Windows: higher resolution time() by using the Windows
performance counter API, from Jan Dubois and Anton Shcherbinin.
The exact new higher resolution depends on the hardware,
but it should be quite a bit better than using the basic
Windows timers.
1.52
- In AIX (v?) with perl 5.6.1 the HiRes.t can hang after
the subtest 18. No known analysis nor fix, but added
an alarm (that requires fork() and alarm()) to the test.
1.51
- doc tweaks from mjd (perl change #20456)
- NCR MP-RAS hints file added (svr4.pl) (perl change #21249)
Changes since 1.42:
- do not create files in blib directories under core
(perl change #19160, from rgs)
- detypo s/VTLARM/VTARLM/ (perl change #19328, from mjd)
- guarantee that $xdefine in HiRes.t is always defined
(perl change #19109, from IlyaZ)
- a cleaner way to detect PERL_CORE (perl change #19111,
from IlyaZ)
- add hints/irix.pl to turn off overly POSIX flags that
cause hide struct timespec to be hidden (and compilation
to fail) (bleadperl change #19085)
- documentation tweaks
Patch from Jeremy C. Reed via PR pkg/20321.
Changes:
1.42:
=====
- modernize the constants code (from Nicholas Clark)
1.41:
=====
- At some point the ability to figure our the correct incdir
for EXTERN.h (either a core perl build, or an installed perl)
had broken (which lead into all test compiles failing with
a core perl build, but thanks to the robustness of Makefile.PL
nothing of was visible). The brokenness seemed to be caused
by $ENV{PERL_CORE} not being on for core builds? Now stole
a trick from the Encode that sets $ENV{PERL_CORE} right, and
both styles of build should work again.
1.40:
=====
- Nicholas Clark noticed that the my_catdir() emulation function
was broken (which means that we didn't really work for Perls
5.002 and 5.003)
- inspired by fixing the above made the whole Makefile.PL -w
and strict clean
- tightened up the Makefile.PL output, less whitespace
1.39:
=====
- fix from Craig Berry for better building in VMS with PERL_CORE
Revision history for Perl extension Time::HiRes.
1.38
- no functional changes
- move lib/Time/HiRes.pm as Hires.pm
- libraries scanning was slightly broken (always scanned
for a library even when $Config{libs} already had it)
1.37
- Ray Zimmerman ran into a race condition in Mac OS X.
A 0.01-second alarm fired before the test expected.
The test first slept indefinitely (blocking for signals)
and only after that tested for the signal having been sent.
Since the signal had already been sent, the test #12 never
completed. The solution: test first, then block.
- default to being silent on all probing attempts, set the
environment variable VERBOSE to a true value to see the
details (the probing command and the possible errors)
1.36
- do not clear MAN3PODS in Makefile.PL (Radoslaw Zielinski)
- INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' missing which means that Time::HiRes
cannot be upgraded from CPAN to override the 5.8.0 version
(Guido A. Ostkamp)
- Time::HiRes 1.35 could not be dropped as-is to bleadperl
because the include directories did not adjust themselves
if $ENV{PERL_CORE} (Hugo van der Sanden)
- add documentation about the restart of select() under alarm()
1.35
- small documentation tweaks
1.34
- better VMS operation (Craig Berry)
1.33
- our time machine is accelerating: now works with Perl 5.004_01
(tried with 5.003_07 and 5.002 but I get segmentation faults
from running the Makefile.PL with those in Tru64 4.0D)
1.31 and 1.32 add more backward compatibility (now all the way back to
Perl 5.00404), and using nanosleep() (if available) for subsecond sleeps.
1.30 adds all the changes made during the Perl 5.6->5.7->5.8 development
cycle. Most notably portability across platforms has been enhanced,
and the interval timers (setitimer, getitimer) have been added.
Note that the version of Time::HiRes that is included in Perl 5.8.0
calls itself 1.20_00, but it is equivalent to this Time::HiRes version.
Note also that in 1.30 Wegscheid turns over the maintenance to Jarkko
Hietaniemi.
1.20
