8f97a47a TM |
21 | If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.13.5, first read |
22 | L<perl5136delta>, which describes differences between 5.13.5 and | |
23 | 5.13.6. | |

5e26bbbe | 30 | |
8f97a47a TM |
31 | XXX New core language features go here. Summarise user-visible core language |
32 | enhancements. Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go | |
33 | here, but most should go in the L</Performance Enhancements> section. | |

37 | =head2 Single term prototype |
38 | ||
39 | The C<+> prototype is a special alternative to C<$> that will act like | |
40 | C<\[@%]> when given a literal array or hash variable, but will otherwise | |
41 | force scalar context on the argument. This is useful for functions which | |
42 | should accept either a literal array or an array reference as the argument: | |
43 | ||
44 | sub smartpush (+@) { | |
45 | my $aref = shift; | |
46 | die "Not an array or arrayref" unless ref $aref eq 'ARRAY'; | |
47 | push @$aref, @_; | |
48 | } | |
49 | ||
50 | When using the C<+> prototype, your function must check that the argument | |
51 | is of an acceptable type. | |
52 | ||
b7bd32cc FC |
53 | =head2 C<use re '/flags';> |
54 | ||
55 | The C<re> pragma now has the ability to turn on regular expression flags | |
56 | till the end of the lexical scope: | |
57 | ||
58 | use re '/x'; | |
59 | "foo" =~ / (.+) /; # /x implied | |
60 | ||
61 | See L<re/'/flags' mode> for details. | |
62 | ||
a5e71717 FC |
63 | =head2 Statement labels can appear in more places |
64 | ||
65 | Statement labels can now occur before any type of statement or declaration, | |
66 | such as C<package>. | |

524 | =head1 Reporting Bugs | |
525 | ||
526 | If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles | |
527 | recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl | |
528 | bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be | |
529 | information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. | |
530 | ||
531 | If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the B<perlbug> | |
532 | program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down | |
533 | to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the | |
534 | output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be | |
535 | analysed by the Perl porting team. | |
536 | ||
537 | If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it | |
538 | inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send | |
ee0887a9 | 539 | it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription |
4c793fe3 FR |
540 | unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able |
541 | to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help | |
542 | co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all | |
ee0887a9 | 543 | platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for |
4c793fe3 FR |
544 | security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently |
545 | distributed on CPAN. | |
