There is an ongoing outage on the primary CPAN mirror. It is possible to work around the issue by using MetaCPAN as a mirror.

Changes for version 0.03 - 2025-09-10

  • Updated documentation
  • Fixed error of only assigning the last byte of the buffer to the init value when using PerlAlloc
  • Removed un-necessary code in PerlAlloc that grew the buffer and then assigned to it
  • Created consume method to obtain external buffers
  • Added check for overlapping memory regions when allocating/consuming new buffers
  • Fixed bug in DESTROY that attempted to free buffers (and their properties) that had not been successfully allocated or consumed
  • Added examples to illustrate the consumption of external buffers, both Perl scalars and raw memory buffers.
