Rewrite a test in t/utf8.t that runs afoul of a misfeature
in Perl 5.8.0 (turn on ":utf8" by default on all filehandles
when running in a UTF8 locale; fixed since 5.8.1)
0.041 2008-08-03
Handle arbitrary binmode() layers in "binmode_*" options; for
backward compatibility, any true option that doesn't start
with ":" is treated as ":raw"
NOTE: This does work for the built-in layers, e.g. ":utf8",
but all bets are off for fancier stuff like ":via(...)" .
Add an option "return_if_system_error" that causes run3()
to refrain from throwing an exception when system() returns -1
(cf. RT 14272).
0.040 2007-12-26
major rewrite of pod:
- describe all possible forms of redirectors
- list available options
- explain how run3() works
fix #31343 by using the three argument form of open() for files;
unfortunately that isn't available before Perl 5.6.0,
hence "use 5.006_00"; also use lexical filehandles everywhere
implement options append_{stdout,stderr}; add test cases
edit META.yml so that the profiling modules IPC::Run3::Prof*
(which aren't of general use) won't show on CPAN
0.039 2007-11-01
avoid some warnings while testing profiler (thanks, SCOP)
0.038 2007-10-08
remove use warnings for 5.005 compat (thanks, David Golden)
0.037 2006-09-19
document license more clearly for META.yml
0.036 2006-09-19
document more clearly the return value of run3
0.035 2006-07-27
remove requirement for Test::Pod and ::Coverage just to build
0.034 2005-12-12
skip t/fork.t on MSWin32 (and Cygwin):
Win32 threads (and fork() is emulated via threads) in the
same process share the same STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR, hence
the method used by run3() (redirect STD* and then call system())
doesn't work here and IO crossover is to be expected -
a possible alternative on Win32 would be to use CreateProcess
which lets you explicitly specify three filehandles for the
new process' STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR; however Win32::Process::Create()
(from the libwin32 CPAN distribution) as omitted these
parameters from the Perl wrapper
add a note to the documentation about the problems with
concurrent calls to run3 in a threaded environment
(incl. fork() on Win32)
make sure all tests run with warnings on
0.033 2005-11-15
make documentation in IPC/Run3/ProfReporter.pm comply with
older versions of Pod::Coverage (fixes bug #15749)
new version of t/fork.t that will work on Windows
(there are still unresolved issues on Cygwin)
switch t/fd_leak.t to use Test::More and relax file descriptor check
to "same or fewer fd's after the call to run3 than before",
because Darwin 7.2 sometimes actually report fewer fd's
(fixes bug #15741)
extricated some dead code from IPC/Run3.pm that
resulted in 6 unused file descriptors
fix call to binmode missing a filehandle in IPC/Run3.pm
fix warnings in test scripts
0.032 2005-10-19
comaint granted to RSCHUPP (thanks, barry!)
fix bug #15003 "Data corruption with fork when both parent
and child use run3":
- purge %fh_cache when we detect that a fork has happened
- add t/fork.t to detect "crossover" between child processes
- fix (and test) only works on Unix, Windows has more
problems with run3 from a forked (pseudo) process
fix prereq - should specify 0 (not 1) if any version will do
added tests for redirection to/from filehandles to t/IPC-Run3.t
