IO::SocketAlarm

About

This module uses a background thread to send UNIX signals to the main process when I/O status changes on an file descriptor.

Installing

When distributed, all you should need to do is run

perl Makefile.PL
make install

or better,

cpanm IO-SocketAlarm-0.001.tar.gz

or from CPAN:

cpanm IO::SocketAlarm

Developing

However if you're trying to build from a fresh Git checkout, you'll need the Dist::Zilla tool (and many plugins) to create the Makefile.PL

cpanm Dist::Zilla
dzil listdeps | cpanm
dzil build

While Dist::Zilla takes the busywork and mistakes out of module authorship, it fails to address the need of XS authors to easily compile XS projects and run single testcases, rather than the whole test suite. For this, you might find the following script handy:

./dzil-prove t/01-load.t  # or any other testcase

which runs "dzil build" to get a clean dist, then enters the build directory and runs "perl Makefile.PL" to compile the XS, then "prove -lvb t/01-load.t".
