1181----------------
28757baa 1182Version 5.003_20
1183----------------
1184
1185The only language change in this release is the recension of support
1186for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
1187a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
1188there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
1189functions as closures.
1190
1191And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
1192updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

1353Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
1354leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
1355method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
1356directory, "t/pragma".
1357
1358IMHO, this is Beta quality code.

c8bc418f 2950Version 5.003_07
2951----------------
2952
2953This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
2954in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
2955testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
2956
2957If it doesn't work for you, try
2958
2959 LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
2960
2961for Bourne shell users, or
2962
2963 setenv LC_ALL C
2964
2965for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
2966problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
2967as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
2968
2969The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
2970
2971o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
2972
2973 -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
2974 documentation on the 'w' option.
2975
2976 -untaint support added to IO extension.
2977
2978o Changes in Core Internals
2979
2980 -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
2981 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
2982 with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
2983
2984 -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
2985
2986o Configure and build enhancements
2987
2988 -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
2989 they may be right.
2990
2991 -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
2992
2993o Bug fixes
2994
2995 -print sort (4,1,3,2);
2996
2997 -group numbers are integers again.
2998
2999 -other things. See the specific changes for details.

3013 Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
3014 Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
3015 program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
3016 Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
3017 effect is little.
3018
3019 Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
3020 Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
3021 or the other in the hints file for now.

3031 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
3032
3033 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
3034 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
3035 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
3036 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
3037
3038 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
3039 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
3040 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

3421 This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
3422 about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
3423 the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
3424 p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
3425 the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
3426
3427 Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
3428 code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

3501 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
3502
3503 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
3504 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
3505 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
3506 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
3507
3508 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the

3519 File mode under OS/2 is not what you expect. However, this has
3520 nothing to do with databases, _and_ there is a test
3521 for this in stat.t (which dutifully fails). There is
3522 no point to consider this behaviour as a bug in
3523 database code.
3524 So OS/2 is special-cased in these tests.

3600----------------
f5cdf9d7 3601Version 5.003_06
3602----------------
3603This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
3604and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
3605The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
3606
3607o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
3608
3609 -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
3610 locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
c8bc418f 3611 Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
f5cdf9d7 3612
3613 -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
3614 backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
3615
3616 -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
3617 %hash.
3618
3619 -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
3620
3621o Changes in Core Internals
3622
3623 -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
3624 versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
3625 as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
3626 gv_efullname3.
3627
3628 -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
3629 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
3630 with 5.003.
3631
3632o Configure and build enhancements
3633
3634 -many new tests for the standard library.
3635
3636 -test suite now locale-friendly.
3637
3638 -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
3639
3640o Bug fixes
3641
3642 -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
3643
3644 -many, many other things. See details below.
3645
3646o Specific Changes
3647
3648Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

3673This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.
3674This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
3675
3676To apply this patch, run the above commands,
3677cd to your perl source directory and then type
3678
3679 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
3680
3681The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
3682designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
3683
3684 csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
3685
3686(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
3687csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
3688files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)

3996
3997 This patch contains the changes I've collected for the various _MAX issues
3998 since 5.003_05. No patches issued between 5.003_05 and this one should be
3999 applied, use this one instead.
4000
4001 The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are
4002 ambiguous) and to explicitly cast all of the constants.

4023 Subject: Re: "Attempt to free non-existent shared string"? (with patch)
4024
4025 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
4026 to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
4027 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
4028 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
4029 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
4030
4031 Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
4032 The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
4033 flag.

4040 "keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for
4041 pre-sizing hashes. I've only moved the patch forward from
4042 when I first did it. I'm sure the code in hv_ksplit could be
4043 improved.

4099 It would IMHO be much better if the AutoLoader exported the AUTOLOAD()
4100 function. With an exported AUTOLOAD() we would not have to inherit
4101 from AutoLoader, and we would avoid these problems.
4102
4103 This patch tries to explain the behavior of AutoLoader instead by
4104 updating its documentation.

5114
5115 Bugs found in pod2man
5116
5117 The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
5118
5119 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
5120 treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
5121 rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
5122 around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
5123 remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
5124 can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
5125 without breaking links.]
5126
5127 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
5128 of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
5129 \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
5130 having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
5131
5132 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
5133 by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
5134
5135 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
5136 from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
5137
5138 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
5139 confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
5140 with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
5141 of basic functions."'.
5142
5143 Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
5144 modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

5167
5168 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
5169 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
5170 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
5171 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
5172 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
5173 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
5174 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
5175 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
5176 this should not introduce any insecurity.

5207 Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
5208
5209 The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
5210 has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
5211 re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
5212 considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
5213 its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
5214 then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

5218
5219 First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
5220 miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the
5221 library and the creation of Makefiles for the extensions didn't
5222 work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

5310 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used

5312 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
5313 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
5314 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
5315
5316 Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
5317 The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
5318 flag.

5727
5728 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
5729 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
5730 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
5731 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
5732 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
5733 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
5734 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
5735 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
5736 this should not introduce any insecurity.
5737

5779 The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from

5781 fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are
5782 modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program.
5783
5784 This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now).
5785 I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order.
5786
5787 h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying
5788 xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which

5853----------------
bde20468 5854Version 5.003_05
5855----------------
5856
5857This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
5858the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
5859A very brief summary is:
5860
5861o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
5862
5863 -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
f5cdf9d7 5864
bde20468 5865 -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
5866 than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
5867 systems, but should be correct now.
5868
5869 -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
5870 Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
5871 order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
5872 the same.
5873
5874o Configure and build enhancements
5875
5876 -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
5877 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
5878 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
f5cdf9d7 5879
bde20468 5880 -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
5881 the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
5882 ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
5883 supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
5884 for embedders.)
5885
5886 -VMS updates.
f5cdf9d7 5887
bde20468 5888 -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
5889 prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
5890
5891o Bug fixes
5892
5893 -debugger ought to work.
5894
5895 -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
5896 5.003_04 from working most places.
5897
5898 -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
5899
5900o Specific Changes
5901
5902Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
5903
5904# This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04
5905# The full description is below.
5906# Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
5907# (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)
5908# Andy Dougherty <doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu>
5909
5910# We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it
5911# executable.

5913chmod +x t/io/read.t
5914
5915exit 0
5916
5917
5918This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04.
5919This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05.
5920
5921To apply this patch, run the above commands,
5922cd to your perl source directory and then type
5923
5924 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
5925
5926The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
5927designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
5928
5929 csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'

5938
5939 Updated for 5.003_05.
5940
5941Index: Configure
5942
5943 Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs.
5944
5945 Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10.
5946
5947 Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
5948 as older 'domain' directive.
5949
5950 Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
5951 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
5952 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
5953
5954 Include -s in the -h summary of available options.
5955
5956 Allow command-line override of $afs.
5957
5958 Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10.
5959
5960 Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to
5961 be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
5962
5963 When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
5964 correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
5965 -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its
5966 -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are
5967 welcome.

6115
6116 I have tried to avoid copying of hash keys that are passed to
6117 magical hashes, but it seems that copying may be unavoidable
6118 since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other
6119 SVs that may get reused) as keys.

6152 the same.
6153
6154
6155 Add helpful "die" message to end of AnyDBM_File. Previously
6156 it would return a 0, and the failure would eventually show up
6157 somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is
6158 a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression
6159 suite is supposed to indicate this as a failure too.

6194 From: Michael Mahan <mahanm@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu>
6195 Subject: Cwd::fastcwd in File::Find
6196
6197 Is there a good reason why File::Find uses Cwd::fastcwd instead of
6198 Cwd:cwd when fastcwd isn't as portable?
6199 [In particular, fastcwd() doesn't work on AFS.]
6200
6201Index: lib/Math/Complex.pm
6202
6203 There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that
6204 gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the
6205 argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too
6206 many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that
6207 calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2
6208 in this case.

6221 syslog.pl tries but fails to use
6222 Socket.pm, the problem is that use doesn't return a true value. This
6223 module should be recast in terms of Sys::Syslog, of course.

6231
6232 Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem.
6233 I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually
6234 uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys
6235 to the vtbl_dbline handlers).
6236
6237 Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
6238 the simple MgPVKEY macro.
6239
6240 Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
6241 additional parens around the "mg".
6242
6243 (lines near 584) Part of VMS changes. I don't know what this did.

6248
6249 This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers
6250 (C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from
6251 C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!.

6444 io_sock.t works by forking a subprocess it can communicate with.
6445 It has the subprocess wait for the main process by sleeping 10
6446 seconds or until an alarm arrives.
6447
6448 With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child
6449 has a chance to ignore the alarm signal.
6450
6451 I fixed this by moving the "$SIG{ALRM} = sub {};" up before the
6452 fork. It does not hurt to have the parent ignore alarms, too.

6503 Changes:

6505 b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h
6506 unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error
6507 there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I
6508 inside -F.
6509 c) .h file would be scanned only if needed.
6510 d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ).
6511 e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be
6512 included into POD.
6513 f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated;
6514 g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that
6515 xsubpp would probably choke on such guys).

6571----------------
6572
6573This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
6574the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
6575A very brief summary is:
6576
6577o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
6578
6579 -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
6580 IO::File::new.
6581 -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
6582 it's in the same category as `` and system().
6583
6584o Configure and build enhancements
f5cdf9d7 6585
395b538b 6586 -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
6587 -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
6588 Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
6589 probably what was intended.
6590 -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
6591
6592o Bug fixes
6593
6594 -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed.
6595 -Ilya's debugger patch.
6596 -FAKE typeglobs fixed.
6597 -truncate with file name now works.
6598 -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs
6599 -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes.
6600 -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__.
6601
6602o Specific Changes

6748
6749 Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this

6751 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
6752 symbols the complete set of
6753 /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
6754 those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
6755 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
6756 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
6757 changed appropriately.
6758
6759 The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
6760 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
6761 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.

6821 Subject: FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
6822
6823 Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
6824 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
6825 so in 5.001n).
6826 The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
6827 which might coerce its first arg to a string.
6828
6829 Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
6830 weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
6831 hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
6832 significant problem.)

6858 I think it was Tom (as in "tchrist") who brought this up.
6859

6861 C<use strict;>, and adds to the testsuite.

6906
6907 Removes an incorrect prototype for setlinebuf from
6908 perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in
6909 MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well).
6910
6911 Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
6912 HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
6913 manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
6914 different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit
6915 from testing...

6952 substr() in lvalue context interacts in buggy fashion with SVs that

7009 From: Chip Salzenberg <salzench@nielsenmedia.com>
7010 Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
7011
7012 When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
7013 Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks
7014 destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive
7015 arenas any more.
7016
7017 This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
7018 method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.
7019 It has no effect on normal operation.
7020

7026 Subject: Re: truncate with file name does not work (with patch)
7027
7028 The prototype for truncate was changed so that perl won't die
7029 with C<use strict;> when the first arg is a bareword (filehandle).
7030 I think it was Tom (as in "tchrist") who brought this up.
7031
7032 Here's a patch that undoes the damage, makes it work with
7033 C<use strict;>, and adds to the testsuite.

7040
7041 Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
7042 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
7043 so in 5.001n).
7044
7045 The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
7046 which might coerce its first arg to a string.

7081 when it calls sv_2pv(), itself). Likewise for warn() (but under
7082 slightly more esoteric circumstances--mg_get() in sv_2pv() might
7083 trigger a call to warn()).

e2cc8666 7102Version 5.003_03
7103----------------
7104
7105Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation
7106process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief
7107summary is:
7108
7109o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
7110
7111 -Support for tied filehandles.
7112
7113o Configure enhancements
7114
7115 -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented
7116 and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms.
7117
7118o Bug fixes
7119
7120 -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
7121
7122 -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
7123 that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps.
7124
7125 -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
7126
7127 -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time
7128 rather than extraction time.
7129
7130o Specific Changes
7131
7132Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

7168cd to your perl source directory and then type
7169
7170 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_03.pat
7171
7172The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
7173designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
7174

7206
7207 Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines.
7208
7209 Changed usesafe to useopcode.
7210
7211 Add search for gzip and zip.
7212
7213 Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
7214 Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
7215
7216 Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
7217 for how this is supposed to work. The default is
7218 still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
7219 any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
7220
7221 Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
7222 (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
7223 race conditions.)
7224
7225 Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
7226 _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
7227
7228 New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
7229 libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
7230 Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
7231
7232 Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
7233
7234 Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
7235 $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
7236 choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
7237 whatever).
7238
7239 Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
7240 it with 'cp' if necessary.
7241
7242 Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
7243 Ultrix output.
7244
7245 Autodetect os2.
7246
7247 Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
7248
7249 Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
7250 error messages.
7251
7252 Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
7253
7254 Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
7255 tests. Note whether memmove is available.
7256
7257 Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
7258 with -Xc).
7259
7260 Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
7261

7263
7264 Add note about space requirements.
7265
7266 Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
7267 useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
7268
7269 Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
7270
7271 Miscellaneous clarifications.
7272
7273Index: MANIFEST
7274
7275 Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
7276 due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;
7277 I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST.
7278

7280
7281 Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.

7283 Use new $make_set_make directive.
7284
7285 Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
7286
7287 Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
7288
7289 Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
7290 well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
7291 miniperl in the first place!
7292
7293Index: Porting/Glossary

7315 Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB,
7316 SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the
7317 ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
7318 is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.

7420 Build up $mab dynamically. Since $mab isn't used anywhere

7422 next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality.
7423
7424Index: hints/next_4.sh

7426 Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and
7427 Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead.

7429 Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures.
7430
7431 Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
7432 cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
7433 the -arch stuff from cppflags.)
7434

7509 Put back in the BEGIN { require 5.002; }. The version in
7510 5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway. Further, the whole
7511 point of the construct is to catch 5.001m, so we can't use

7761Version 5.003_01
7762----------------
7763
7764Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
7765version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
7766kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
7767library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
7768significant revisions, summarized below:
7769
7770o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
7771
7772 - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
7773 the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
7774 and several common extensions are working.
7775
7776 - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
7777 the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
7778 class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
7779
7780 - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
7781 variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
7782 variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
7783 inaccessible by its name.
7784
7785 - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
7786 checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
7787 can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
7788
7789 - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
7790 produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
7791 exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
7792
7793 - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
7794 an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
7795 side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
7796 well as an alphabetic character.
7797
7798 - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
7799 -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
7800 output concise.
7801
7802o Changes in Core Internals
7803
7804 - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
7805
7806 - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
7807 optimized at compile time into inline constants.
7808
7809 - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
7810 conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
7811 to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
7812 representations.
7813
7814 - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
7815 stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
7816 present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
7817 program results.
7818
7819 - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
7820 in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
7821
7822 - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
7823 array has been made safer.
7824
7825 - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
7826 with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
7827 Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
7828 previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
7829 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
7830 namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
7831 so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
7832 After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
7833 between versions.
7834
7835 - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
7836 optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
7837 which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
7838 conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
7839 chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
7840 the case in Perl programs.
7841
7842 - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
7843 multiple interpreters have been fixed.
7844
7845o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
7846
7847 - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
7848 access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
7849 distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
7850 Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
7851 available.
7852
7853 - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
7854 oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
7855 standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
7856 for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
7857 subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
7858 class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
7859 rather than FileHandle.
7860
7861 - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
7862 of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
7863 applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
7864
7865 - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
7866 for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
7867 has been added to the standard distribution.
7868
7869 - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
7870 to the currently executing program, has been added to the
7871 standard distribution.
7872
7873 - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
7874 Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
7875 have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
7876
7877 - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
7878 determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
7879
7880 - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
7881
7882 - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
7883 provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
7884 making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
7885 to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
7886
7887 - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
7888 can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
7889
7890 - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
7891
7892o Changes in Documentation
7893
7894 - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
7895 documentation for the core and standard library files
7896
7897 - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
7898
7899 - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
7900 extensively revised.
7901
7902o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
7903
7904 - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
7905 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
7906
7907 - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
7908 options for building a.out binaries.
7909
7910 - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
7911 processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of
7912 carriage control interpretation for record-structured files,
7913 improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of
7914 VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance
7915 in line-oriented reading of files.
7916
7917 - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
7918 convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
7919 irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
7920 next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
7921 sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
7922
7923 - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set
7924 of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation
7925 they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
