- Summary
- A patch to Perl 5.005_55 by the author implements a core API for weak
references. This module is a Perl-level interface to that API, allowing
weak references to be created in Perl.
A weak reference is just like an ordinary Perl reference except that
it isn't included in the reference count of the thing referred to.
This means that once all references to a particular piece of data are
weak, the piece of data is freed and all the weak references are set
to undef. This is particularly useful for implementing circular
data structures without memory leaks or caches of objects.
Changelog
- * Thu Apr 15 19:00:00 2004 Paul Howarth <paul{%}city-fan{*}org> 0.01-3
- Added explicit perl dependency to ensure that an RPM built on a
system with an updated version of perl (and hence having files
installed in a place that a non-updated system won't find them)
will not install on the non-updated system. In such cases, just
rebuild from the source RPM.
- Changed distribution-identifying macros for greater portability.
- * Mon Feb 16 19:00:00 2004 Paul Howarth <paul{%}city-fan{*}org> 0.01-2
- Unified spec file for Red Hat and Fedora Core.
- * Tue Feb 10 19:00:00 2004 Paul Howarth <paul{%}city-fan{*}org> 0.01-1.fc1
