I'll take this up with the stable release team. The fix is as simple as adding -Ud_ualarm to debian/config.debian. This activates the ualarm() emulation code in ext/Time/HiRes.xs that uses setitimer() with valid timeval values. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
