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. -- Rocco Caputo - rcap...@pobox.com

POE::Test::Loops 1.020, and upcoming POE releases
POE::Test::Loops 1.020 has been released. This is a suite of reusable tests for developers who want to add external event loop support to POE. Version 1.020 acquires more signal handler tests from POE. Existing POE::Loop authors should try the new tests at their earliest convenience. Those who need the code right away can track the repository: svn co \ https://poe.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/poe/trunk/poe-test-loops ptl A developer version of POE will be released shortly after the new tests work their way around CPAN. The upcoming POE release incorporates Philip Gwyn's fixes for race conditions in POE's signal handlers. Users who have noticed strange behavior during prolonged periods of signal activity should test against this release as soon as possible. Those who want to get a jump on the changes can track POE's latest development through its repository: svn co \ https://poe.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/poe/trunk/poe poe POE changes are also tracked at SourceForge, Ohlo and CIA. POE 1.007 will officially go out after a successful round of testing. You're welcome to join us in irc.perl.org #poe to watch the CPAN tester fallout. POE 1.008 will be released shortly afterward. It will spin off some optional dependencies, mainly POE's "core" support for optional, external event loops. POE::Loop::Event, POE::Loop::Gtk and POE::Loop::Tk will join their siblings on the CPAN. Their test coverage should improve, and POE's distribution size and installation footprint will shrink. Thank you. -- Rocco Caputo - rcap...@pobox.com
