Package: wnpp Owner: gregor herrmann <gregoa@debian.org> Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, debian-perl@lists.debian.org * Package name : libb-cow-perl Version : 0.001 Upstream Author : Nicolas R. <atoomic@cpan.org> * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/B-COW * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : additional B helpers to check COW status B::COW provides some naive additional B helpers to check the COW status of one SvPV. A COWed SvPV is sharing its string (the PV) with other SvPVs. It's a (kind of) Read Only C string, that would be Copied On Write (COW). More than one SV can share the same PV, but when one PV need to alter it, it would perform a copy of it, decrease the COWREFCNT counter. One SV can then drop the COW flag when it's the only one holding a pointer to the PV. The COWREFCNT is stored at the end of the PV, after the "\0". That value is limited to 255, after that a new PV would be created, The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group. -- Generated with the help of dpt-gen-itp(1) from pkg-perl-tools.
