The attached patch skips the new getppid() test (perl/api.t) on Win32 since getppid() is unimplemented on this platform!
Weird:
% perldoc -f getppid =item getppid
Returns the process id of the parent process.
Is it a bug in perl? why a non-portable function lives in perlfunc.pod?
I think the portability issues have been relegated to perlport.pod, which reports that getppid is indeed unimplemented on Win32.
Doesn't POSIX.pm provide a similar implementation?
It's also unimplemented under POSIX.pm.
Thank Randy. I've applied Steve's patch. Thanks Steve.
I guess nobody has tried using Apache::VMonitor on win32 then. We need to get the pid of the parent process in order to calculate the real mem usage (taking the sharing into an account). Doesn't win32 implement shared memory? I suppose not, since the is no fork. Am I correct?
