Updated perl-Variable-Magic to 0.57:
The new environment variable to enable thread tests on older perls is PERL_FORCE_TEST_THREADS; note that this variable should only be turned on by authors
- Fix: Segfaults when the module is loaded by several threads (or Windows emulated processes) ran in parallel
- Fix: Segfaults when the module is loaded in a thread, which spawns itself a new thread, and that child thread outlives its parent
- Fix: Small memory leaks of structures required for thread safety
Fix: Update the Windows ActivePerl + gcc 3.4 workaround for ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.04
Test: The global destruction test will now be exercised on any perl that has DEBUGGING set
Test: Optional capturing tests in t/17-ctl.t that were only run when Capture::Tiny was present were converted to an IPC::Open3 based helper and will now be run everywhere
