Ah, sorry Chris. Some day I will stop saying "this might not work on
Windows," and with my luck, that day I will be wrong. :-)
Did you implement this on Windows? That seems like it would have been
pretty darn hard!
I have to give credit to Leon Timmermans' File::Map
which made this possible. His cross-platform
implementation of mmap semantics and the bug
fixes needed for the PDL implementation were key
to making the new functionality possible.
Also, I believe you were the one who originally
researched the possibility for some sort of
win32 mmap implementation to allow the PDL
memory mapping to work. :-)
Of course, it won't be fully buildable until we
get some sort of Alien::Pthreads to make sure
that the windows installs have the win32 pthread
library available....
