Revision history for Perl extension Time::HiRes.
+1.81 [2005-10-05]
+ - try to be more robust and consistent in the detection of
+ CLOCK_REALTIME and ITIMER_VIRTUAL in HiRes.t: the proper
+ way is
+
+ sub has_symbol {
+ my $symbol = shift;
+ eval 'import Time::HiRes qw($symbol)';
+ return 0 unless $@ eq '';
+ return exists ${"Time::HiRes::$symbol"};
+ }
+
+ and then use
+
+ &FOO_BAR
+
+ in the test. All these moves are needed because
+
+ 1) one cannot directly do eval 'Time::HiRes::FOO_BAR'
+ because FOO_BAR might have a true value of zero
+ (or in the general case an empty string or even undef)
+
+ 2) In case FOO_BAR is not available in this platform,
+ &FOO_BAR avoids the bareword warning
+
+ - wait more (1.5 seconds instead of 0.1) for the CLOCK_REALTIME test
+ but expect the 'customary' slop of 0.20 instead of 0.25
+ - fixed inside a comment HAS_POLL -> TIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP
+ - at the end of HiRest.t tell how close we were to termination
+
1.80 [2005-10-04]
- Gisle noticed a mistake (using HAS_NANOSLEEP) in 1.79
