Changes for version 0.61 - 2012-10-08

  • Added patch from Frank Lichtenheld fixing IPC::Shareable's dependence on the presence of a perl bug which is no longer present in perl >= 5.10
  • Fixed bug reported by Dan Harbin where the FETCH operation on a tie()d string containing HASH, ARRAY, or SCALAR fails because it was using the stringification of the data to determine what kind of reference it was. Now using Scalar::Util::reftype
  • Added missing dependency on IPC::Semaphore to Makefile.PL (reported by Adrian Issott)
  • Added a 'sleep 1' in a test that was hanging on certain systems due (possibly) to two alarm signals coming too quickly to the child process. From Ton Voon.
