(7) A command line tool to download and install CPAN modules: I like godi_console (despite laking fancy colors :-), although I'd like a simpler command line tool to be available as well. In case you don't know it, you can install packages on command-line very easily : godi_perform -build

Hi, I am trying to write a soft real time signal-processing application in OCaml. Running in a simulation mode, it spends no time blocking, and uses an outermost loop that takes about 1/10 sec to run. In order to prevent irregular GC pauses, I decided to try inserting a call to Gc.compact once
