Changes for version 1.77 - 2005-10-03

  • add support for the POSIX clock_gettime() and clock_getres(), if available, either as library calls or as syscalls
  • be more defensive about missing functionality: break out early (during 'use') if no e.g. clock_getres() is available, and protect our back by trapping those cases also in HiRes.xs
  • the test added in 1.76 could cause an endless loop e.g. in Solaris, due to mixing of sleep() and alarm() (bad programmer, no cookie!)

Modules

High resolution alarm, sleep, gettimeofday, interval timers
