  the tests fail on my install of solaris because -h isnt a valid option for dtrace. in a spooky coincidence my cpan testing had just got to it when i was reading the post.

    Ah, thanks. More seriously it's getting a bus error on non-trivial programs. Needs work I think :)

        Ah - that must be because I'm using Perl 5.10. Silly me. Thanks for the report. I'll fix that and get another release out.

            I think 0.04 should be working on vanilla Mac OS Perl now. It certainly works for me.

            I really need to think about how to test it. It's a bit awkward given that dtrace needs to run as root.

            I guess I can at least test the logic by building a version containing different probes that just output to STDERR.

            Sorry folks, I'm talking to myself now :)
