sat 2006-08-01 20:12:19 UTC FreeBSD ports repository Modified files: devel Makefile Added files: devel/p5-Linux-Pid Makefile distinfo pkg-descr pkg-plist Log: Add port devel/p5-Linux-Pid: Why should one use a module to get the PID and the PPID of a process where there are the $$ variable and the getppid() builtin? (Not mentioning the equivalent POSIX::getpid() and POSIX::getppid() functions.) In fact, this is useful on Linux, with multithreaded programs. Linux' C library, using the linux thread model, returns different values of the PID and the PPID from different threads. (Other thread models such as NPTL don't have the same behaviour). This module forces perl to call the underlying C functions getpid() and getppid().
