==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `perl-MCE` to 1.601:
 . '''Bug Fixes'''
  * Updated `Makefile.PL` allowing installation of `bin/mce_grep` ([[CPAN:102040|CPAN RT#102040]]); running (`MCE_INSTALL_TOOLS=1 perl Makefile.PL`) installs `bin/mce_grep`
  * Ensure `MCE` instances spawned by workers have shut down before leaving
  * An exiting forked non-`MCE` process will not cause the worker to exit
  * Fixed sockets not closing immediately in Cygwin and Windows
  * Fixed a pod error in `MCE::Mutex`
  * Fixed a rare condition where socket handles for `MCE::Mutex` and `MCE::Queue` were closing prematurely when using threads
  * Fixed an undefined variable inside `croak` statements in `MCE` Models' `import` subroutine
  * Fixed automatic shutdown due to loading `threads` and specifying `use_threads => 0` with workers  persisting before exiting the script
 . '''Enhancements'''
  * Moved relay methods, introduced in 1.600, from `MCE` to `MCE::Relay`; the `MCE` `init_relay` option loads and enables `MCE::Relay` automatically
  * Captured metrics from Linux (previously OS X) for `forchunk.pl`, `foreach.pl` and `forseq.pl`; updated `Examples.pod`
  * Default to '`auto`' for `max_workers` in `bin/mce_grep`, `examples/egrep.pl`, `forchunk.pl`, `foreach.pl`, `forseq.pl`, `iterator.pl` and `wc.pl`
  * Moved `_create_socket_pair` from `MCE` to `MCE::Util` as `_make_socket_pair`
  * Added `_destroy_sockets`; updated `MCE`, `Mutex`, and `Queue` to use `MCE::Util`
  * Added a `CARP_NOT` line to `MCE` Models
  * Added support for `->next` and `->last` from any sub-tasks in `MCE::Step`
  * Reverted a small change applied in 1.600 to `->do` and `->gather`
  * The `synchronize` method in `Mutex` is `wantarray`-aware
  * Updated POD header lines for method names; from `=item` to `=head2`
  * Workers now set `STDERR` and `STDOUT` to flush automatically
 . '''New Features'''
  * Added `->pid` method to `MCE`
