379Another interesting example implements time-sliced multitasking using
380interval timers (this could obviously be optimised, but does the job):
381
382 # "timeslice" the given block
383 sub timeslice(&) {
384 use Time::HiRes ();
385
386 Coro::on_enter {
387 # on entering the thread, we set an VTALRM handler to cede
388 $SIG{VTALRM} = sub { cede };
389 # and then start the interval timer
390 Time::HiRes::setitimer &Time::HiRes::ITIMER_VIRTUAL, 0.01, 0.01;
391 };
392 Coro::on_leave {
393 # on leaving the thread, we stop the interval timer again
394 Time::HiRes::setitimer &Time::HiRes::ITIMER_VIRTUAL, 0, 0;
395 };
396
397 &{+shift};
398 }

403 # monopolise the process. Sicne it runs in a timeslice
