Since I needed to have the restarter working badly on that machine in
particular, I quickly patched the code with Proc::Background. Something like
this:
sub _fork_and_start() {
my $proc = new Proc::Background("perl $0"); # I'm writing this from
memory; not this exactly, there were more args...
my $pid = $proc->pid;
...}
Doing this pretty much defeats the point of the new restarter code, which
was to avoid starting the app from scratch each time.
I think I put threads / async { } somewhere in there before using
Proc::Background but I got an error... and don't recall which. Killing the
thread requires it to die from the inside, sending it a signal of some sort.
Right, that's where I got stuck.
Couldn't the restarter be subclassed then changed in myapp_script.pl through
an %ENV variable?
Sure, but the trick is to come up with something that works reliably on
Windows, and ideally, has the benefits of the new restarter code.
