Problems with perlcc

2001-01-03 Thread bubigary
I´ve upgraded from Linux Red Hat 6.2 to Linux Red Hat 7, and also upgraded from perl 5.00503 to perl 5.6.0. and now my perlcc doesn´t work anymore. It says it can´t find the "boot_Dynaloader" and the "xs_init". Does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Chris Bernauer

Anyone want to take a shot at the PerlIO PDD?

Would someone like to take a crack at a PDD for the PerlIO system? It doesn't need to be particularly fancy (nor complete) to start with, but having one will give us a place to work from. (Waiting for me to spec it out may take a while...) Dan -

Speaking of signals...

2001-01-03 Thread Dan Sugalski
I think one of the things we might want to do is figure out what people use signals for and see if we can abstract out some of that functionality without actually exposing signals. (From an internals standpoint, at least) The big one I can think of is interrupting timers. Right now people use
