|
28 | In this module, coroutines are defined as "callchain + lexical variables |
|
|
29 | + @_ + $_ + $@ + $^W), that is, a coroutine has it's own callchain, it's |
|
|
30 | own set of lexicals and it's own set of perl's most important global |
|
|
31 | variables. |
|
|
32 | |
|
|
33 | WARNING: When using this module, make sure that, at program end, no |
|
|
34 | coroutines are still running OR just call exit before falling off the |
|
|
35 | end. The reason for this is that some coroutine of yours might have called |
|
|
36 | into a C function, and falling off the end of main:: results in returning |
|
|
37 | to that C function instead if to the main C interpreter. |
