POE::Test::Loops 1.020 has been released.


I'm concerned about bug 45158 [1] which is blocking a clean install of POE
on HP-UX.
To summarize, the test POE/Test/Loops/sbk_signal_init.pm is reliyng on the assumption that sleep() can work while an alarm() is set, which the Perl
documentation clearly warns against, and is effectively not working on
HP-UX.

Does replacing sleep(5) with select(undef,undef,undef,5) fix it? I also asked on the ticket just a few minutes ago. If that works, I'll patch it up and release 1.021.

Also, why did the version number bump from 1.005 to 1.020 ?


I accidentally bumped the release twice. I originally meant it to be 1.010. QA took longer than expected, and by release time I forgot that I had already bumped the revision.

This release includes some harsh signals regression tests from POE's distribution. I expect it to cause new headaches for some POE::Loop authors. Signals are often painful to deal with.
