[announce] Tie::Scalar::Decay v1.1.1
I have just uploaded v1.1.1 of Tie::Scalar::Decay which fixes a minor bug in v1.1. It was actually a bug in the test suite :-) which was assuming that the machine running the tests was a RTOS (or at least capable of responding in near real-time). Therefore, the final test, which gave sub-second delays a work-out, has been removed. I know it works anyway, as the now-excised fifth test works flawlessly on an otherwise-idle test box. Anyone got any RT patches for Linux/Sparc? :-) -- David Cantrell | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/ Rip, Mix, Burn, unless you're using our "most advanced operating system in the world" which we decided to release incomplete just for a laugh

Overload the stringify operator to make it easy to get the result. You could even define tied arrays which do matrix things. There wouldn't be much point to this. I'm wittering, so shall stop now. -- David Cantrell | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/ This is a signature.

Yes, but he didn't upload it to CPAN: it's on the belfast.pm site. -- Marty PGP signature

Tie::Scalar::Decay ...
... is on its way to CPAN. If you're desperate for it, you can also snarf it from http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/tech/Tie-Scalar-Decay-1.0.tar.gz. It was inspired by Marcel's Tie::Scalar::Timeout. By default, it simulates radioactive decay with a fairly arbitrary half-life of five seconds. You can, if you wish, specify other decay functions either by passing it a coderef, or a string which gets evalled. -- David Cantrell | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/ This is a signature.
