Win32-IPC version 1.09, released January 14, 2012
The Win32-IPC modules provide access to the Win32 sychronization
objects, which are (currently) documented at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686364(VS.85).aspx
The supported sychronization objects and associated modules are:
Event - Win32::Event
Mutex - Win32::Mutex
Semaphore - Win32::Semaphore
In addition, the Win32::ChangeNotify module provides access to
directory change notifications, which let you monitor a specified
directory tree for file modifications. While not strictly a
synchronization object, change notifications are often used in similar
ways.
INSTALLATION
To install these modules, run the following commands:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
DEPENDENCIES
You'll need a suitable C compiler.
Microsoft Visual C++ 6 or MinGW GCC should work.
You can also build it with GCC under Cygwin.
