Changes for version 0.49 - 2000-02-02
- Bugfix - qx() was overwriting stderr output with stdout when both were redirected, in ipc_childsafe mode.
- Added an "exception-handling" capability. The autofail attr can be a code-ref indicating a function to call on failure, or an array-ref of which the first element is a code-ref as above and the remainder constitutes the arguments to pass to said sub.
- Allow constructor to be called as ->clone to clone an existing instance.
- Reworked ipc_childsafe to only allow derived classes access to the coprocess (since the base class cannot directly support it).
- Reworked attropts() to allow prefix_pattern to be specified.
- Normalised -dbglevel output somewhat - made normal mode show returned data at dbglevel >= 2 since ipc mode does so.
