57"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
58 For hope would hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
59 For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
60 But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
61 Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
62 So the darkness shall be light, and the stillness the dancing."
63 -- T.S.Eliot, East Coker

9349Version 5.003_20
9350----------------
28757baa 9351
9352The only language change in this release is the recension of support
9353for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
9354a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
9355there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
9356functions as closures.
9357
9358And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
9359updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

9520Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
9521leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
9522method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
9523directory, "t/pragma".
9524
9525IMHO, this is Beta quality code.

11117Version 5.003_07
11118----------------
c8bc418f 11119
11120This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
11121in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
11122testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
11123
11124If it doesn't work for you, try
11125
11126 LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
11127
11128for Bourne shell users, or
11129
11130 setenv LC_ALL C
11131
11132for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
11133problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
11134as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
11135
11136The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
11137
11138o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
11139
11140 -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
11141 documentation on the 'w' option.
11142
11143 -untaint support added to IO extension.
11144
11145o Changes in Core Internals
11146
11147 -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
11148 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
11149 with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
11150
11151 -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
11152
11153o Configure and build enhancements
11154
11155 -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but

11179
11180 Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
11181 Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
11182 program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
11183 Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
11184 effect is little.
11185
11186 Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
11187 Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
11188 or the other in the hints file for now.

11198 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
11199
11200 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
11201 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
11202 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
11203 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
11204
11205 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
11206 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
11207 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

11221 All the executable targets are moved into the same chunk with

11224 config.h should depend on config_h.SH.

11587
11588 This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
11589 about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
11590 the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
11591 p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
11592 the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
11593
11594 Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
11595 code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

11638 File mode under OS/2 is not what you expect. However, this has
11639 nothing to do with databases, _and_ there is a test
11640 for this in stat.t (which dutifully fails). There is
11641 no point to consider this behaviour as a bug in
11642 database code.
11643 So OS/2 is special-cased in these tests.

11668 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
11669
11670 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
11671 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
11672 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
11673 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
11674
11675 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
11676 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
11677 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.
11678
11679 Test suite for the untaint method of class IO::Handle.

54310121 11770
f5cdf9d7 11771This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
11772and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
11773The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
11774
11775o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
11776
11777 -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
11778 locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
c8bc418f 11779 Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
f5cdf9d7 11780
11781 -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
11782 backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
11783
11784 -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
11785 %hash.
11786
11787 -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
11788
11789o Changes in Core Internals
11790
11791 -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
11792 versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
11793 as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
11794 gv_efullname3.
11795
11796 -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
11797 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
11798 with 5.003.
11799
11800o Configure and build enhancements
11801
11802 -many new tests for the standard library.
11803
11804 -test suite now locale-friendly.
11805
11806 -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
11807
11808o Bug fixes
11809
11810 -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
11811
11812 -many, many other things. See details below.
11813
11814o Specific Changes
11815
11816Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

11839
11840
11841This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.
11842This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
11843
11844To apply this patch, run the above commands,
11845cd to your perl source directory and then type
11846
11847 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
11848
11849The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
11850designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
11851
11852 csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
11853
11854(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
11855csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
11856files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)

12186
12187 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
12188 to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
12189 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
12190 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
12191 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
12192
12193 Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
12194 The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
12195 flag.

12261 It would IMHO be much better if the AutoLoader exported the AUTOLOAD()
12262 function. With an exported AUTOLOAD() we would not have to inherit
12263 from AutoLoader, and we would avoid these problems.
12264
12265 This patch tries to explain the behavior of AutoLoader instead by
12266 updating its documentation.

13277 Bugs found in pod2man
13278
13279 The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
13280
13281 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
13282 treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
13283 rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
13284 around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
13285 remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
13286 can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
13287 without breaking links.]
13288
13289 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
13290 of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
13291 \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
13292 having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
13293
13294 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
13295 by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
13296
13297 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
13298 from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
13299
13300 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
13301 confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
13302 with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
13303 of basic functions."'.
13304
13305 Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
13306 modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

13332 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
13333 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
13334 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
13335 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
13336 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
13337 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
13338 this should not introduce any insecurity.

13369 Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
13370
13371 The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
13372 has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
13373 re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
13374 considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
13375 its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
13376 then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

13381 First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
13382 miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the
13383 library and the creation of Makefiles for the extensions didn't
13384 work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

13471
13472 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
13473 to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
13474 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
13475 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
13476 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
13477
13478 Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
13479 The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
13480 flag.

13888 Subject: Patch: Untaint FH flag and clean DATA handles
13889
13890 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
13891 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
13892 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
13893 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
13894 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
13895 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
13896 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
13897 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
13898 this should not introduce any insecurity.
13899
13900 This patch *does not*:
13901
13902 * Add the "untaint" keyword.

13940
13941 The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from
13942 finding #define statements and filling the constant() function. This patch
13943 fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are
13944 modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program.
13945
13946 This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now).
13947 I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order.
13948
13949 h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying
13950 xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which
13951 can also be found in my directory on CPAN.

bde20468 14019
14020This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
14021the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
14022A very brief summary is:
14023
14024o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
14025
14026 -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
f5cdf9d7 14027
bde20468 14028 -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
14029 than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
14030 systems, but should be correct now.
14031
14032 -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
14033 Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
14034 order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
14035 the same.
14036
14037o Configure and build enhancements
14038
14039 -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
14040 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
14041 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
f5cdf9d7 14042
bde20468 14043 -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
14044 the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
14045 ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
14046 supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
14047 for embedders.)
14048
14049 -VMS updates.
f5cdf9d7 14050
bde20468 14051 -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
14052 prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
14053
14054o Bug fixes
14055
14056 -debugger ought to work.
14057
14058 -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
14059 5.003_04 from working most places.
14060
14061 -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
14062
14063o Specific Changes
14064
14065Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
14066
14067# This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04

14081This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04.
14082This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05.
14083
14084To apply this patch, run the above commands,
14085cd to your perl source directory and then type
14086
14087 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
14088

14090designed so you can examine each change with a command such as

14103
14104 Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
14105 as older 'domain' directive.
14106
14107 Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
14108 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
14109 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.

14118 be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
14119
14120 When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
14121 correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
14122 -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its

14273 I have tried to avoid copying of hash keys that are passed to
14274 magical hashes, but it seems that copying may be unavoidable
14275 since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other

14315 a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression

14731This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
14732the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
14733A very brief summary is:
14734
14735o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
14736
14737 -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
14738 IO::File::new.
14739 -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
14740 it's in the same category as `` and system().
14741
14742o Configure and build enhancements
f5cdf9d7 14743
395b538b 14744 -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
14745 -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
14746 Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
14747 probably what was intended.
14748 -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
14749
14750o Bug fixes

14897 Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
14898
14899 Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
14900 should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
14901 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
14902 symbols the complete set of
14903 /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
14904 those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
14905 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
14906 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
14907 changed appropriately.
14908
14909 The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
14910 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
14911 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.

14971 Subject: FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
14972
14973 Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
14974 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
14975 so in 5.001n).
14976 The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
14977 which might coerce its first arg to a string.
14978
14979 Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
14980 weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
14981 hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
14982 significant problem.)

15007 with C<use strict;> when the first arg is a bareword (filehandle).
15008 I think it was Tom (as in "tchrist") who brought this up.

15011 C<use strict;>, and adds to the testsuite.

15055Index: perlio.c
15056
15057 Removes an incorrect prototype for setlinebuf from
15058 perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in
15059 MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well).
15060
15061 Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
15062 HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
15063 manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
15064 different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit
15065 from testing...

395b538b 15160 Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
15161
15162 When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
15163 Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks
15164 destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive
15165 arenas any more.
15166
15167 This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
15168 method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.
15169 It has no effect on normal operation.

15266 -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented
15267 and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms.
15268
15269o Bug fixes
15270
15271 -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
15272
15273 -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
15274 that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps.
15275
15276 -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
15277

15315This is patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl version 5.003_02.
15316This takes you from 5.003_02 to 5.003_03.
15317
15318To apply this patch, run the above commands,
15319cd to your perl source directory and then type
15320
15321 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_03.pat
15322
15323The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
15324designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
15325
15326 csplit -k perl5.003_03.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
15327
e2cc8666 15328Index: Changes
15329
15330 Include 5.003_03 change notes.
15331
15332 Move older change notes to separate files.
15333
15334Index: Changes5.000
15335
15336 New file. Changes from perl4.036 to 5.000.
15337
15338Index: Changes5.001
15339
15340 New file. Changes from 5.000 to 5.001
15341
15342Index: Changes5.002
15343
15344 New file. Changes from 5.001 to 5.002
15345
15346Index: Changes5.003
15347
15348 New file. Changes from 5.002 to 5.003
15349
15350Index: Configure
15351
15352 Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines.
15353
15354 Changed usesafe to useopcode.
15355
15356 Add search for gzip and zip.
15357
15358 Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
15359 Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
15360
15361 Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
15362 for how this is supposed to work. The default is
15363 still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
15364 any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
15365
15366 Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
15367 (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
15368 race conditions.)
15369
15370 Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
15371 _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
15372
15373 New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
15374 libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
15375 Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
15376
15377 Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
15378
15379 Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
15380 $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
15381 choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
15382 whatever).
15383
15384 Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
15385 it with 'cp' if necessary.
15386
15387 Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
15388 Ultrix output.
15389
15390 Autodetect os2.
15391
15392 Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
15393
15394 Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
15395 error messages.
15396
15397 Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
15398
15399 Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
15400 tests. Note whether memmove is available.
15401
15402 Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
15403 with -Xc).
15404
15405 Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
15406
15407Index: INSTALL
15408
15409 Add note about space requirements.
15410
15411 Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
15412 useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
15413
15414 Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
15415
15416 Miscellaneous clarifications.
15417
15418Index: MANIFEST
15419
15420 Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
15421 due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;
15422 I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST.
15423
15424Index: Makefile.SH
15425
15426 Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
15427
15428 Use new $make_set_make directive.
15429
15430 Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
15431
15432 Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
15433
15434 Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
15435 well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
15436 miniperl in the first place!
15437
15438Index: Porting/Glossary
15439
15440 New file describing all the config.sh variables.
15441 Eventually, I hope to fill this directory with other useful
15442 stuff.
15443
15444Index: README.os2
15445
15446 Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README.
15447
15448Index: config_H
15449
15450 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
15451 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
15452 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
15453
15454Index: config_h.SH
15455
15456 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
15457 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
15458 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
15459
15460 Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB,
15461 SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the
15462 ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
15463 is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.
15464
15465Index: doio.c
15466
15467 Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h>
15468
15469Index: doop.c
15470
15471 No longer prefer bcmp over memcmp when order doesn't matter.
15472
15473 Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
15474
15475Index: embed.h
15476
15477 Auto-generated.
15478
15479Index: embed.pl
15480
15481 Expand warning at the top.
15482
15483Index: ext/IO/IO.pm
15484
15485 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
15486
15487Index: ext/IO/lib/IO/Seekable.pm
15488
15489 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
15490
15491Index: ext/IO/lib/IO/Select.pm
15492
15493 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
15494
15495Index: ext/Opcode/Opcode.xs
15496
15497 Add support for tied filehandles.
15498
15499Index: ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h
15500
15501 Change the Mymalloc to match Perl_malloc in perl.h.
15502
15503Index: ext/util/make_ext
15504
15505 Typo change.
15506 Get rid of unused altmake.
15507
15508Index: global.sym
15509
15510 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
15511
15512Index: handy.h
15513
15514 Change safe*alloc functions to have prototypes that
15515 match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use
15516 Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.
15517 This is necessary so . . .
15518
15519 Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's
15520 malloc/free or the system's malloc/free.
15521
15522Index: hints/README.hints
15523
15524 Remove out-of-date info.
15525
15526 Document a bit about how hint files work.
15527
15528Index: hints/aix.sh
15529
15530 qmaxmem hint doesn't apply to gcc.
15531
15532Index: hints/dgux.sh
15533
15534 Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff.
15535
15536Index: hints/dynixptx.sh
15537
15538 Fix typo in comment.
f5cdf9d7 15539
e2cc8666 15540 Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff.
15541
15542Index: hints/epix.sh
15543
15544 Use glibpth instead of libpth. This allows Configure to
15545 add local directories, such as /opt/local/lib, etc.
15546
15547Index: hints/irix_6_2.sh
15548
15549 Include some info on cc -n32 compile.
15550
15551Index: hints/linux.sh
15552
15553 Configure now tests gcvt() more thoroughly.
15554
15555Index: hints/machten_2.sh
15556
15557 Update where to find dld.
15558
15559Index: hints/mips.sh
15560
15561 Use glibpth instead of libpth.
15562
15563Index: hints/next_3.sh
15564
15565 Build up $mab dynamically. Since $mab isn't used anywhere
15566 anymore, this is useless. However, $mab was never used for
15567 next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality.
15568
15569Index: hints/next_4.sh
15570
15571 Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and
15572 Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead.
15573
15574 Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures.
15575
15576 Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
15577 cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
15578 the -arch stuff from cppflags.)
15579
15580 Configure now knows next4 needs to use a shared libperl.5.so.
15581
15582 Allow users to use -Dprefix.
15583
15584Index: hints/os2.sh
15585
15586 Try to update to reflect newer shared libperl stuff.
15587 I probably goofed :-).
15588
15589Index: hints/sco.sh
15590
15591 Additional notes on using icc.
15592
15593 Additional flags for dynamic loading.
15594
15595Index: hints/solaris_2.sh
15596
15597 Perl.h no longer prefers bcmp, so it's again ok if Configure
15598 finds them, since perl will prefer the mem* versions anyway.
15599
15600Index: hints/sunos_4_0.sh
15601
15602 Don't include <unistd.h>
15603
15604Index: hints/sunos_4_1.sh
15605
15606 Add brief note about GNU as and ld.
15607
15608 Don't include <unistd.h>
15609
15610 Add notes about WHOA THERE messages.
15611
15612Index: hints/titanos.sh
15613
15614 Include sfio in libswanted.
15615
15616 Don't set libpth any more.
15617
15618Index: hints/umips.sh
15619
15620 New hint file.
15621
15622Index: hv.c
15623
15624 Use memcmp even in cases where ordering doesn't matter.
15625
15626 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
15627
15628Index: installperl
15629
15630 Simplify installation of shared libperl.so.
15631
15632 Avoid reaching Command Failed!!! with /usr/bin/perl.
15633
15634Index: lib/AutoSplit.pm
15635
15636 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
15637
15638Index: lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm
15639
15640 Remove MAB references.
15641
15642 Use 'useshrplib' instead of 'd_shrplib'
15643
15644Index: lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
15645
15646 Remove mab references.
15647
15648Index: lib/FindBin.pm
15649
15650 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
15651
15652Index: lib/Symbol.pm
15653
15654 Put back in the BEGIN { require 5.002; }. The version in
15655 5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway. Further, the whole
15656 point of the construct is to catch 5.001m, so we can't use
15657 syntax introduced after 5.001m to do that.
15658
15659Index: lib/Text/Wrap.pm
15660
15661 Remove double 'use strict'.
15662
15663Index: lib/perl5db.pl
15664
15665 Add explicit '&' to avoid warnings under strict refs.
15666
15667Index: lib/sigtrap.pm
15668
15669 Clean up docmentation installation errors.
15670
15671Index: makedepend.SH
15672
15673 Use Configure's $sh and $make_set_make variables.
15674
15675Index: mg.c
15676
15677 Include <unistd.h>
15678
15679 Use Safefree() macro instead of safefree() function with
15680 a (possibly) incorrect cast. The whole point of the
15681 Safefree() macro is that it does the correct cast for you.
15682
15683
15684Index: patchlevel.h
15685
15686 Change to SUBVERSION 3.
15687
15688Index: perl.c
15689
15690 Include <unistd.h>
15691
15692Index: perl.h
15693
15694 No longer prefer bcmp slightly for comparisons that don't care
15695 about ordering.
15696
15697 Rely on Configure setting SH_PATH.
15698
15699 Change the function name to Pause() instead of pause() to
15700 avoid potential prototype problems. (This naming convention
15701 is similar to the Fwrite and Fflush macros.)
15702
15703 Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
15704
15705 Work around crypt prototype problem on NeXT.
15706
15707Index: perlio.c
15708
15709 Fixes to support non-std stdio.
15710
15711Index: perlio.h
15712
15713 Try to document the various #defines a bit. This is far from
15714 finished.
15715
15716 Remove a lot of trailing whitespace. (It's of no consequence, but
15717 but I'm not going to redo the patch just to put back in the trailing
15718 whitespace either.)
15719
15720Index: perlsdio.h
15721
15722 Fixes to support non-std stdio.
15723
15724Index: perly.c
15725
15726 Restore use of Safefree() macro.
15727
15728Index: perly.c.diff
15729
15730 Restore use of Safefree() macro.
15731
15732Index: perly.h
15733
15734 Delete duplicate line.
15735

15773
15774Index: pp.c
15775
15776 Add support for tied filehandles.
15777
15778 If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
15779 that can result in null matches, perl coredumps.
15780
15781Index: pp_hot.c
15782
15783 Use memcmp instead of bcmp even when we don't care about order.
15784
15785 Add support for tied filehandles.
15786
15787Index: pp_sys.c
15788
15789 Include <unistd.h>, <sys/wait.h>, and <sys/resource.h>.
15790 (The latter two are especially for NetBSD.)
15791
15792 Don't assume sys/time.h and sys/select.h can't coexist.
15793
15794 Use Pause macro.

15836
15837Index: utils/h2ph.PL
15838
15839 Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time
15840 rather than extraction time.
15841
15842Index: writemain.SH
15843

15845 an older auto_init mechanism.)

15876 Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO
15877 mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros.
f5cdf9d7 15878 Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or
760ac839 15879 to use sfio if available.

e4a57b87 15911
15912Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
15913version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
15914kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
15915library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
15916significant revisions, summarized below:
15917
15918o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
15919
15920 - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
15921 the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
15922 and several common extensions are working.
15923
15924 - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
15925 the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
15926 class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
15927
15928 - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
15929 variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
15930 variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
15931 inaccessible by its name.
15932
15933 - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
15934 checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
15935 can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
15936
15937 - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
15938 produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
15939 exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
15940
15941 - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
15942 an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
15943 side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
15944 well as an alphabetic character.
15945
15946 - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
15947 -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
15948 output concise.
15949
15950o Changes in Core Internals
15951
15952 - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
15953
15954 - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
15955 optimized at compile time into inline constants.
15956
15957 - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
15958 conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
15959 to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
15960 representations.
15961
15962 - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
15963 stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
15964 present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
15965 program results.
15966
15967 - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
15968 in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
15969
15970 - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
15971 array has been made safer.
15972
15973 - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
15974 with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
15975 Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
15976 previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
15977 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
15978 namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
15979 so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
15980 After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
15981 between versions.
15982
15983 - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
15984 optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
15985 which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
15986 conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
15987 chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
15988 the case in Perl programs.
15989
15990 - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
15991 multiple interpreters have been fixed.
15992
15993o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
15994
15995 - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
15996 access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
15997 distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
15998 Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
15999 available.
16000
16001 - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
16002 oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
16003 standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
16004 for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
16005 subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
16006 class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
16007 rather than FileHandle.
16008
16009 - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
16010 of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
16011 applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
16012
16013 - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
16014 for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
16015 has been added to the standard distribution.
16016
16017 - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
16018 to the currently executing program, has been added to the
16019 standard distribution.
16020
16021 - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
16022 Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
16023 have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
16024
16025 - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
16026 determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
16027
16028 - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
16029
16030 - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
16031 provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
16032 making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
16033 to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
16034
16035 - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
16036 can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
16037
16038 - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
16039
16040o Changes in Documentation
16041
16042 - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
16043 documentation for the core and standard library files
16044
16045 - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
16046
16047 - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
16048 extensively revised.
16049
16050o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
16051
16052 - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
16053 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
16054
16055 - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
16056 options for building a.out binaries.
16057
16058 - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
16059 processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of
16060 carriage control interpretation for record-structured files,
16061 improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of
16062 VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance
16063 in line-oriented reading of files.
16064
16065 - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
16066 convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
16067 irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
16068 next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
16069 sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
16070
16071 - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set
16072 of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation
16073 they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
