All the people reporting problems and fixes. More specifically in alphabetical order: Alban Crequy For discovering that expected Perl exit code could be unintentionally overridden in forks END block and providing a patch suggestion. Elizabeth Mattijsen For providing me (Eric Rybski) the opportunity to maintain and improve this great module. Erwan Velu For finding that system() might not return correct exit value on certain target platforms. Nilson Santos Figueiredo Junior For helping identify a problem with locks and large PIDs, and for helping test and refine general BSD kernel compatibility. Richard Faasen For discovering that some XS code was incompatible with older gcc versions. ORIGINAL AUTHOR CREDITS Stephen Adkins For finding that a child thread could not wake the very first parent thread with cond_signal, and providing a patch to fix it. Arthur Bergman For implementing the first working version of Perl threads support and providing us with an API to build on. For Hook::Scope (from which I swiped the code to have locked variables automatically unlock upon leaving the scope they were locked in) and threads::shared (from which I swiped the code to create references from the parameter list passed to a subroutine). Lars Fenneberg For helping me through the initial birthing pains. Paul Golds For spotting a problem with very large shared scalar values. Bradley W. Langhorst For making sure everything runs with warnings enabled. Juerd Waalboer For pointing me to the source filter solution for Perl 5.6.x.
