Changes for version 1.81 - 2005-10-05

  • try to be more robust and consistent in the detection of CLOCK_REALTIME and ITIMER_VIRTUAL in HiRes.t: the proper way is
    • sub has_symbol { my $symbol = shift; eval 'import Time::HiRes qw($symbol)'; return 0 unless $@ eq ''; return exists ${"Time::HiRes::$symbol"}; }
    • and then use
      • &FOO_BAR
    • in the test. All these moves are needed because
    • 1) one cannot directly do eval 'Time::HiRes::FOO_BAR' because FOO_BAR might have a true value of zero (or in the general case an empty string or even undef)
    • 2) In case FOO_BAR is not available in this platform, &FOO_BAR avoids the bareword warning
  • wait more (1.5 seconds instead of 0.1) for the CLOCK_REALTIME test but expect the 'customary' slop of 0.20 instead of 0.25
  • fixed inside a comment HAS_POLL -> TIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP
  • at the end of HiRest.t tell how close we were to termination
