3389 Version 5.003_20
3390------------------
28757baa 3391
3392The only language change in this release is the recension of support
3393for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
3394a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
3395there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
3396functions as closures.
3397
3398And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
3399updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

3558------------------
8ebc5c01 3559
3560Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
3561leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
3562method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
3563directory, "t/pragma".
3564
3565IMHO, this is Beta quality code.

5028 like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope
5029 of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control
5030 structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which
5031 automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits
5032 its scope to the loop.)

5157 Version 5.003_07
5158------------------
c8bc418f 5159
5160This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
5161in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
5162testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
5163
5164If it doesn't work for you, try
5165
5166 LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
5167
5168for Bourne shell users, or
5169
5170 setenv LC_ALL C
5171
5172for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
5173problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
5174as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
5175
5176The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
5177
5178o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
5179
5180 -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
5181 documentation on the 'w' option.
5182
5183 -untaint support added to IO extension.
5184
5185o Changes in Core Internals
5186
5187 -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
5188 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
5189 with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
5190
5191 -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
5192
5193o Configure and build enhancements
5194
5195 -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
5196 they may be right.
5197
5198 -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
5199
5200o Bug fixes
5201
5202 -print sort (4,1,3,2);
5203
5204 -group numbers are integers again.
5205
5206 -other things. See the specific changes for details.
5207
5208o Specific Changes
5209
5210Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
5211

5219
5220 Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
5221 Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
5222 program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
5223 Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
5224 effect is little.
5225
5226 Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
5227 Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
5228 or the other in the hints file for now.

5238 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
5239
5240 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
5241 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
5242 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
5243 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
5244
5245 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
5246 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
5247 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

5627
5628 This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
5629 about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
5630 the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
5631 p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
5632 the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
5633
5634 Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
5635 code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

5708 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
5709
5710 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
5711 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
5712 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
5713 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
5714
5715 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
5716 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
5717 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

5808 Version 5.003_06
5809------------------
5810
f5cdf9d7 5811This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
5812and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
5813The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
5814
5815o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
5816
5817 -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
5818 locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
c8bc418f 5819 Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
f5cdf9d7 5820
5821 -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
5822 backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
5823
5824 -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
5825 %hash.
5826
5827 -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
5828
5829o Changes in Core Internals
5830
5831 -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
5832 versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
5833 as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
5834 gv_efullname3.
5835
5836 -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
5837 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
5838 with 5.003.
5839
5840o Configure and build enhancements
5841
5842 -many new tests for the standard library.
5843
5844 -test suite now locale-friendly.
5845
5846 -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
5847
5848o Bug fixes
5849
5850 -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
5851
5852 -many, many other things. See details below.
5853
5854o Specific Changes
5855
5856Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
5857
5858# This is my patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl5.003_05

5881This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.
5882This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
5883
5884To apply this patch, run the above commands,
5885cd to your perl source directory and then type
5886
5887 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
5888
5889The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
5890designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
5891
5892 csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
5893
5894(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
5895csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
5896files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)

6227 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used

6229 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
6230 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
6231 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.

6301 It would IMHO be much better if the AutoLoader exported the AUTOLOAD()
6302 function. With an exported AUTOLOAD() we would not have to inherit
6303 from AutoLoader, and we would avoid these problems.
6304
6305 This patch tries to explain the behavior of AutoLoader instead by
6306 updating its documentation.

6770 The patch below (which is relative to perl5.001l) implements
6771 "keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for
6772 pre-sizing hashes. I've only moved the patch forward from
6773 when I first did it. I'm sure the code in hv_ksplit could be
6774 improved.

7317 Bugs found in pod2man
7318
7319 The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
7320
7321 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
7322 treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
7323 rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
7324 around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
7325 remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
7326 can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
7327 without breaking links.]
7328
7329 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
7330 of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
7331 \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
7332 having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
7333
7334 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
7335 by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
7336
7337 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
7338 from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
7339
7340 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
7341 confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
7342 with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
7343 of basic functions."'.
7344
7345 Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
7346 modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

7369
7370 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
7371 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
7372 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
7373 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
7374 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
7375 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
7376 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
7377 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
7378 this should not introduce any insecurity.

7409 Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
7410
7411 The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
7412 has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
7413 re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
7414 considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
7415 its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
7416 then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

7421 First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
7422 miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the

7424 work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

7511
7512 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
7513 to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
7514 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
7515 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
7516 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
7517
7518 Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
7519 The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
7520 flag.

7929
7930 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
7931 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
7932 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
7933 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
7934 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
7935 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
7936 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
7937 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
7938 this should not introduce any insecurity.
7939
7940 This patch *does not*:
7941
7942 * Add the "untaint" keyword.

7981 The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from
7982 finding #define statements and filling the constant() function. This patch
7983 fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are
7984 modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program.
7985
7986 This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now).
7987 I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order.
7988
7989 h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying
7990 xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which
7991 can also be found in my directory on CPAN.

8056------------------
8057 Version 5.003_05
8058------------------
bde20468 8059
8060This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
8061the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
8062A very brief summary is:
8063
8064o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
8065
8066 -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
f5cdf9d7 8067
bde20468 8068 -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
8069 than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
8070 systems, but should be correct now.
8071
8072 -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
8073 Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
8074 order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
8075 the same.
8076
8077o Configure and build enhancements
8078
8079 -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
8080 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
8081 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
f5cdf9d7 8082
bde20468 8083 -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
8084 the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
8085 ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
8086 supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
8087 for embedders.)
8088
8089 -VMS updates.
f5cdf9d7 8090
bde20468 8091 -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
8092 prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
8093
8094o Bug fixes
8095
8096 -debugger ought to work.
8097
8098 -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
8099 5.003_04 from working most places.
8100
8101 -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
8102
8103o Specific Changes
8104
8105Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
8106
8107# This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04
8108# The full description is below.

8123
8124To apply this patch, run the above commands,
8125cd to your perl source directory and then type
8126
8127 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
8128
8129The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
8130designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
8131
8132 csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'

8140 Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs.

8142 Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10.
8143
8144 Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
8145 as older 'domain' directive.
8146
8147 Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
8148 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
8149 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
8150
8151 Include -s in the -h summary of available options.
8152
8153 Allow command-line override of $afs.
8154
8155 Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10.
8156
8157 Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to
8158 be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
8159
8160 When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
8161 correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
8162 -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its
8163 -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are

8352 Add helpful "die" message to end of AnyDBM_File. Previously
8353 it would return a 0, and the failure would eventually show up
8354 somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is
8355 a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression

8400 There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that
8401 gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the
8402 argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too
8403 many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that
8404 calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2
8405 in this case.

8434 Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
8435 the simple MgPVKEY macro.

8702 b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h
8703 unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error
8704 there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I
8705 inside -F.
8706 c) .h file would be scanned only if needed.
8707 d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ).
8708 e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be
8709 included into POD.
8710 f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated;
8711 g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that
8712 xsubpp would probably choke on such guys).

8768 Version 5.003_04
8769------------------
395b538b 8770
8771This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
8772the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
8773A very brief summary is:
8774
8775o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
8776
8777 -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
8778 IO::File::new.
8779 -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
8780 it's in the same category as `` and system().
8781
8782o Configure and build enhancements
f5cdf9d7 8783
395b538b 8784 -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
8785 -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
8786 Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
8787 probably what was intended.
8788 -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
8789
8790o Bug fixes
8791
8792 -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed.
8793 -Ilya's debugger patch.
8794 -FAKE typeglobs fixed.
8795 -truncate with file name now works.
8796 -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs
8797 -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes.
8798 -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__.
8799
8800o Specific Changes

8938
8939 Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this

8941 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
8942 symbols the complete set of
8943 /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
8944 those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
8945 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
8946 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
8947 changed appropriately.
8948
8949 The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
8950 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
8951 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.

9011 Subject: FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
9012
9013 Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
9014 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
9015 so in 5.001n).
9016 The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
9017 which might coerce its first arg to a string.
9018
9019 Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
9020 weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
9021 hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
9022 significant problem.)

9100
9101 Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
9102 HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
9103 manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
9104 different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit
9105 from testing...

395b538b 9200 Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
9201
9202 When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
9203 Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks
9204 destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive
9205 arenas any more.
9206
9207 This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
9208 method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.
9209 It has no effect on normal operation.

9235 The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
9236 which might coerce its first arg to a string.

9241 Subject: lval substr() fails to clear lexicals in re-entered scopes (with patch)
9242
9243 substr() in lvalue context interacts in buggy fashion with SVs that
9244 are !SvOK. This manifests itself with lexicals that have a REFCNT of
9245 1, since these are merely "cleared in place" by setting SvOK_off.
9246
9247 Subject: lval substr() coredumps with refs (with patch)
9248
9249 substr() coredumps with a target that is a ref, when it is used in
9250 an lvalue context.
9251 The patch below corrects the problem by stringifying the reference
9252 first (and emitting a warning when appropriate).

9256 Subject: Re: truncate with file name does not work (with patch)
9257
9258 The prototype for truncate was changed so that perl won't die
9259 with C<use strict;> when the first arg is a bareword (filehandle).
9260 I think it was Tom (as in "tchrist") who brought this up.
9261
9262 Here's a patch that undoes the damage, makes it work with
9263 C<use strict;>, and adds to the testsuite.

9267 Subject: Re: Perl 5.003 dumps core executing caller() in signal handler for
9268 __DIE__ (with patch)
9269
9270 sv_2pv() might call croak() (which is not prepared to handle that
9271 when it calls sv_2pv(), itself). Likewise for warn() (but under
9272 slightly more esoteric circumstances--mg_get() in sv_2pv() might
9273 trigger a call to warn()).
9274
9275
9276 Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.

9293 Version 5.003_03
9294------------------
e2cc8666 9295
9296Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation
9297process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief
9298summary is:
9299
9300o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
9301
9302 -Support for tied filehandles.
9303
9304o Configure enhancements
9305
9306 -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented
9307 and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms.
9308
9309o Bug fixes
9310
9311 -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
9312
9313 -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
9314 that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps.
9315
9316 -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
9317
9318 -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time
9319 rather than extraction time.
9320
9321o Specific Changes
9322
9323Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

9354
9355This is patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl version 5.003_02.
9356This takes you from 5.003_02 to 5.003_03.
9357
9358To apply this patch, run the above commands,
9359cd to your perl source directory and then type
9360
9361 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_03.pat
9362
9363The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
9364designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
9365
9366 csplit -k perl5.003_03.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
9367
e2cc8666 9368Index: Changes

9370 Include 5.003_03 change notes.
9371
9372 Move older change notes to separate files.
9373

9385
9386Index: Changes5.003
9387
9388 New file. Changes from 5.002 to 5.003
9389
9390Index: Configure
9391
9392 Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines.
9393
9394 Changed usesafe to useopcode.
9395
9396 Add search for gzip and zip.
9397
9398 Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
9399 Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
9400
9401 Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
9402 for how this is supposed to work. The default is
9403 still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
9404 any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
9405
9406 Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
9407 (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
9408 race conditions.)
9409
9410 Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
9411 _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
9412
9413 New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
9414 libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
9415 Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
9416
9417 Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
9418
9419 Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
9420 $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
9421 choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
9422 whatever).
9423
9424 Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
9425 it with 'cp' if necessary.
9426
9427 Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
9428 Ultrix output.
9429
9430 Autodetect os2.
9431
9432 Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
9433
9434 Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
9435 error messages.
9436
9437 Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
9438
9439 Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
9440 tests. Note whether memmove is available.
9441
9442 Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
9443 with -Xc).
9444
9445 Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
9446
9447Index: INSTALL
9448
9449 Add note about space requirements.
9450
9451 Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
9452 useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
9453
9454 Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
9455
9456 Miscellaneous clarifications.
9457
9458Index: MANIFEST
9459
9460 Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
9461 due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;
9462 I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST.
9463
9464Index: Makefile.SH
9465
9466 Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
9467
9468 Use new $make_set_make directive.
9469
9470 Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
9471
9472 Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
9473
9474 Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
9475 well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
9476 miniperl in the first place!
9477
9478Index: Porting/Glossary
9479
9480 New file describing all the config.sh variables.
9481 Eventually, I hope to fill this directory with other useful
9482 stuff.
9483
9484Index: README.os2
9485
9486 Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README.
9487
9488Index: config_H
9489
9490 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
9491 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
9492 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
9493
9494Index: config_h.SH
9495
9496 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
9497 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
9498 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
9499
9500 Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB,
9501 SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the
9502 ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
9503 is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.
9504
9505Index: doio.c
9506
9507 Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h>
9508
9509Index: doop.c
9510
9511 No longer prefer bcmp over memcmp when order doesn't matter.
9512
9513 Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.

9544
9545 Typo change.
9546 Get rid of unused altmake.

9549
9550 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
9551
9552Index: handy.h
9553
9554 Change safe*alloc functions to have prototypes that
9555 match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use
9556 Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.
9557 This is necessary so . . .
9558
9559 Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's
9560 malloc/free or the system's malloc/free.
9561
9562Index: hints/README.hints

e2cc8666 9580 Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff.
9581
9582Index: hints/epix.sh
9583
9584 Use glibpth instead of libpth. This allows Configure to
9585 add local directories, such as /opt/local/lib, etc.
9586
9587Index: hints/irix_6_2.sh
9588
9589 Include some info on cc -n32 compile.

9600
9601 Use glibpth instead of libpth.
9602
9603Index: hints/next_3.sh
9604
9605 Build up $mab dynamically. Since $mab isn't used anywhere
9606 anymore, this is useless. However, $mab was never used for
9607 next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality.
9608
9609Index: hints/next_4.sh
9610
9611 Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and
9612 Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead.
9613
9614 Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures.
9615
9616 Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
9617 cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
9618 the -arch stuff from cppflags.)
9619
9620 Configure now knows next4 needs to use a shared libperl.5.so.
9621
9622 Allow users to use -Dprefix.
9623
9624Index: hints/os2.sh
9625
9626 Try to update to reflect newer shared libperl stuff.
9627 I probably goofed :-).

9630
9631 Additional notes on using icc.
9632
9633 Additional flags for dynamic loading.
9634
9635Index: hints/solaris_2.sh
9636
9637 Perl.h no longer prefers bcmp, so it's again ok if Configure
9638 finds them, since perl will prefer the mem* versions anyway.
9639
9640Index: hints/sunos_4_0.sh
9641
9642 Don't include <unistd.h>
9643

9650 Add notes about WHOA THERE messages.
9651

9659
9660 New hint file.

9665
9666 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.

9690 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
9691
9692Index: lib/Symbol.pm
9693
9694 Put back in the BEGIN { require 5.002; }. The version in
9695 5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway. Further, the whole
9696 point of the construct is to catch 5.001m, so we can't use
9697 syntax introduced after 5.001m to do that.
9698
9699Index: lib/Text/Wrap.pm
9700
9701 Remove double 'use strict'.

9714
9715Index: mg.c
9716
9717 Include <unistd.h>
9718
9719 Use Safefree() macro instead of safefree() function with
9720 a (possibly) incorrect cast. The whole point of the
9721 Safefree() macro is that it does the correct cast for you.
9722
9723

9726 Change to SUBVERSION 3.

9734 No longer prefer bcmp slightly for comparisons that don't care
9735 about ordering.
9736
9737 Rely on Configure setting SH_PATH.
9738
9739 Change the function name to Pause() instead of pause() to
9740 avoid potential prototype problems. (This naming convention
9741 is similar to the Fwrite and Fflush macros.)
9742
9743 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
9744
9745 Work around crypt prototype problem on NeXT.

9754 finished.
9755
9756 Remove a lot of trailing whitespace. (It's of no consequence, but
9757 but I'm not going to redo the patch just to put back in the trailing
9758 whitespace either.)

9949 Version 5.003_01
9950------------------
e4a57b87 9951
9952Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
9953version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
9954kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
9955library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
9956significant revisions, summarized below:
9957
9958o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
9959
9960 - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
9961 the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
9962 and several common extensions are working.
9963
9964 - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
9965 the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
9966 class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
9967
9968 - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
9969 variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
9970 variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
9971 inaccessible by its name.
9972
9973 - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
9974 checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
9975 can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
9976
9977 - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
9978 produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
9979 exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
9980
9981 - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
9982 an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
9983 side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
9984 well as an alphabetic character.
9985
9986 - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
9987 -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
9988 output concise.
9989
9990o Changes in Core Internals
9991
9992 - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
9993
9994 - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
9995 optimized at compile time into inline constants.
9996
9997 - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
9998 conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
9999 to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
10000 representations.
10001
10002 - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
10003 stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
10004 present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
10005 program results.
10006
10007 - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
10008 in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
10009
10010 - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
10011 array has been made safer.
10012
10013 - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
10014 with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
10015 Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
10016 previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
10017 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
10018 namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
10019 so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
10020 After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
10021 between versions.
10022
10023 - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
10024 optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
10025 which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
10026 conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
10027 chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
10028 the case in Perl programs.
10029
10030 - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
10031 multiple interpreters have been fixed.
10032
10033o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
10034
10035 - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
10036 access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
10037 distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
10038 Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
10039 available.
10040
10041 - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
10042 oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
10043 standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
10044 for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
10045 subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
10046 class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
10047 rather than FileHandle.
10048
10049 - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
10050 of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
10051 applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
10052
10053 - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
10054 for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
10055 has been added to the standard distribution.
10056
10057 - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
10058 to the currently executing program, has been added to the
10059 standard distribution.
10060
10061 - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
10062 Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
10063 have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
10064
10065 - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
10066 determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
10067
10068 - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
10069
10070 - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
10071 provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
10072 making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
10073 to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
10074
10075 - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
10076 can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
10077
10078 - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
10079
10080o Changes in Documentation
10081
10082 - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
10083 documentation for the core and standard library files
10084
10085 - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
10086
10087 - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
10088 extensively revised.
10089
10090o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
10091
10092 - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
10093 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
10094
10095 - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
10096 options for building a.out binaries.
10097
10098 - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
10099 processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of
10100 carriage control interpretation for record-structured files,
10101 improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of
10102 VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance
10103 in line-oriented reading of files.
10104
10105 - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
10106 convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
10107 irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
10108 next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
10109 sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
10110
10111 - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set
10112 of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation
10113 they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
