perl-Proc-Simple-1.32-1.12 RPM for noarch

From OpenSuSE Ports Tumbleweed for noarch

The Proc::Simple package provides objects mimicing real-life processes from
a user's point of view. A new process object is created by

   $myproc = Proc::Simple->new();

Either external programs or perl subroutines can be launched and controlled
as processes in the background.

A 10-second sleep process, for example, can be launched as an external
program as in

   $myproc->start("/bin/sleep 10");    # or
   $myproc->start("/bin/sleep", "10");

or as a perl subroutine, as in

   sub mysleep { sleep(shift); }    # Define mysleep()
   $myproc->start(\&mysleep, 10);   # Launch it.

or even as

   $myproc->start(sub { sleep(10); });

The _start_ Method returns immediately after starting the specified process
in background, i.e. there's no blocking. It returns _1_ if the process has
been launched successfully and _0_ if not.

The _poll_ method checks if the process is still running

   $running = $myproc->poll();

and returns _1_ if it is, _0_ if it's not. Finally,

   $myproc->kill();

terminates the process by sending it the SIGTERM signal. As an option,
another signal can be specified.

   $myproc->kill("SIGUSR1");

sends the SIGUSR1 signal to the running process. _kill_ returns _1_ if it
succeeds in sending the signal, _0_ if it doesn't.

The methods are discussed in more detail in the next section.

A destructor is provided so that a signal can be sent to the forked
processes automatically should the process object be destroyed or if the
process exits. By default this behaviour is turned off (see the
kill_on_destroy and signal_on_destroy methods).

Changelog

      1.32 (2015/11/15)
      (ms) [rt.cpan.org #108215] open() calls now use the safe form.
* Fri Jun 14 2013 coolo@suse.com
  - updated to 1.31
      (ms) To better deal with the race condition in the
      previous release, kill the newly created child
      process first, then send a killpg to its process
      group and ignore the outcome.
      (ms) [RT 81203] Jim A Kessler reported a perl 5.16 issue
      with the "AutoLoader" line, so I went ahead and removed
      all references to "Exporter" and "AutoLoader", as
      Proc::Simple isn't using them at all.
