Changes for version 1.9726 - 2013-08-17

  • Correct s/us splitting of usleep(1000000) [rt.cpan.org #78266].
  • Avoid integer overflow in itimer-based alarm() with large argument [rt.cpan.org #87160].
  • Define PERL_NO_INLINE_FUNCTIONS during probe compilations, to avoid false negatives caused by not linking with the perl core.
  • Be more careful about context in stat().
  • Install into "site" directories by default on perl 5.11+ [rt.cpan.org #79797].
  • Fix a couple of doc typos [rt.cpan.org #85365].
  • Fix function name in a doc example [rt.cpan.org #86318].
  • Provide lstat() that yields high-res timestamps, alongside the existing high-res stat() [rt.cpan.org #78732].
