Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
The "forks" pragma allows a developer to use threads without having to have a threaded perl, or to even run 5.8.0 or higher. There were a number of goals that I am trying to reach with this implementation. The standard Perl 5.8.0 threads implementation is very memory consuming, which makes it basically impossible to use in a production environment, particularly with mod_perl and Apache. Because of the use of the standard Unix fork() capabilities, most operating systems will be able to use the Copy-On-Write (COW) memory sharing capabilities (whereas with the standard Perl 5.8.0 threads implementation, this is thwarted by the Perl interpreter cloning process that is used to create threads). The memory savings have been confirmed. You should be able to run threaded applications unchanged by simply making sure that the "forks" and "forks::shared" modules are loaded, e.g. by specifying them on the command line.
