Subject: IPC::Msg Documentation Bug
Date: Sun, 16 May 2010 06:54:57 -0500
To: bug-IPC-SysV [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Jonathan Hartzog <event.callback [...] gmail.com>
The IPC::Msg Synopsis says $msg->snd(pack("l! a*",$msgtype,$msg)); but the pack is done in sub snd {} so that should be $msg->snd($msgtype, $msgtext); I find the use of $msg for both the IPC::Msg object and the message text confusing, to say the least. Thanks! Jon
Hi Jon, thanks for the report and sorry for the delay. You're absolutely correct, the docs don't make much sense. (I probably use too little of this module myself, but I took over maintenance a couple of years ago because I wanted some shared memory features to be implemented.) Anyway, the docs should be fine in the 2.03 release that I've just uploaded to CPAN. Marcus
