Summary: Review Request: perl-forks - A drop-in replacement for Perl threads using fork() https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507491 Summary: Review Request: perl-forks - A drop-in replacement for Perl threads using fork() Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: bjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: notting@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~bjohnson/perl-forks.spec SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~bjohnson/perl-forks-0.33-1.fc11.src.rpm Description: The forks.pm module is a drop-in replacement for threads.pm. It has the same syntax as the threads.pm module (it even takes over its namespace) but has some significant differences: - you do _not_ need a special (threaded) version of Perl - it is _much_ more economic with memory usage on OS's that support COW - it is more efficient in the startup of threads - it is slightly less efficient in the stopping of threads - it is less efficient in inter-thread communication If for nothing else, it allows you to use the Perl threading model in non-threaded Perl builds and in older versions of Perl (5.6.0 and higher are supported). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
