| 56 | |
| 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 |

| 3230 | HEADLINES FOR THIS MAINTENANCE RELEASE |
| 3231 | |
| 3232 | Major memory growth bug fixed. |
| 3233 | Object destruction is more timely and orderly. |
| 3234 | Further major enhancements to Win32 support, including: |
| 3235 | Win32 binary compatibility between Visual C++ and Borland C++. |
| 3236 | The -S option is now more useful on dos/Win32 (see perlrun). |
| 3237 | Implicit -p print now checks for write errors. |
| 3238 | DB_File now sub-classable (and other fixes). |
| 3239 | Memory usage stats available with perl's malloc (see perldelta). |
| 3240 | 'use UNIVERSAL;' deprecated (see perldelta). |
| 3241 | Internal integer to string conversions are faster. |
| 3242 | Carp can be forced to give stack traces (see perldoc Carp). |
| 3243 | Many other bug fixes and enhancements. |

| 9348 | ---------------- |
| 9349 | Version 5.003_20 |
| 9350 | ---------------- |
| 9351 | |
| 9352 | The only language change in this release is the recension of support |
| 9353 | for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be |
| 9354 | a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition, |
| 9355 | there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named |
| 9356 | functions as closures. |
| 9357 | |
| 9358 | And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation |
| 9359 | updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!" |

| 9516 | ---------------- |
| 9517 | Version 5.003_19 |
| 9518 | ---------------- |
| 9519 | |
| 9520 | Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory |
| 9521 | leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The |
| 9522 | method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test |
| 9523 | directory, "t/pragma". |
| 9524 | |
| 9525 | IMHO, this is Beta quality code. |

| 10970 | many people. Here are some of the more significant changes. |

| 10985 | |
| 10986 | Title: "Defined scoping for C<my> in control structures" |
| 10987 | (Finally defines semantics of "my" in control expressions, |
| 10988 | like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope |
| 10989 | of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control |
| 10990 | structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which |
| 10991 | automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits |
| 10992 | its scope to the loop.) |

| 10997 | (This patch makes Perl correctly ignore SvIVX() if either |
| 10998 | NOK or POK is true, since SvIVX() may be a truncated or |

| 11116 | ---------------- |
| 11117 | Version 5.003_07 |
| 11118 | ---------------- |
| 11119 | |
| 11120 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed |
| 11121 | in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious |
| 11122 | testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004. |
| 11123 | |
| 11124 | If it doesn't work for you, try |
| 11125 | |
| 11126 | LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL |
| 11127 | |
| 11128 | for Bourne shell users, or |
| 11129 | |
| 11130 | setenv LC_ALL C |
| 11131 | |
| 11132 | for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have |
| 11133 | problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests |
| 11134 | as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step. |
| 11135 | |
| 11136 | The details are described below. A very brief summary is: |
| 11137 | |
| 11138 | o 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 | |
| 11145 | o 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 | |
| 11153 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 11154 | |
| 11155 | -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but |
| 11156 | they may be right. |
| 11157 | |
| 11158 | -OS/2 and Plan9 updates. |
| 11159 | |
| 11160 | o Bug fixes |
| 11161 | |
| 11162 | -print sort (4,1,3,2); |
| 11163 | |
| 11164 | -group numbers are integers again. |
| 11165 | |
| 11166 | -other things. See the specific changes for details. |
| 11167 | |
| 11168 | o Specific Changes |
| 11169 | |
| 11170 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |
| 11171 | |
| 11172 | Index: Changes |
| 11173 | |
| 11174 | Updated for 5.003_07. |
| 11175 | |
| 11176 | Fixed a spelling error. |
| 11177 | |
| 11178 | Index: Configure |
| 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. |
| 11189 | |
| 11190 | Index: INSTALL |
| 11191 | |
| 11192 | Warn about re-using config.sh version-specific values. |
| 11193 | |

| 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. |
| 11208 | |
| 11209 | Add mention of t/lib/io_taint.t |

| 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. |

| 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 | |

| 11767 | ---------------- |
| 11768 | Version 5.003_06 |
| 11769 | ---------------- |
| 11770 | |
| 11771 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation, |
| 11772 | and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003. |
| 11773 | The details are described below. A very brief summary is: |
| 11774 | |
| 11775 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 11776 | |
| 11777 | -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for |
| 11778 | locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod. |
| 11779 | Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi. |
| 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 | |
| 11789 | o 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 | |
| 11800 | o 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 | |
| 11808 | o Bug fixes |
| 11809 | |
| 11810 | -whitespace lexer errors fixed. |
| 11811 | |
| 11812 | -many, many other things. See details below. |
| 11813 | |
| 11814 | o Specific Changes |
| 11815 | |
| 11816 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |

| 11841 | This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05. |
| 11842 | This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06. |
| 11843 | |
| 11844 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 11845 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 11846 | |
| 11847 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat |
| 11848 | |
| 11849 | The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is |
| 11850 | designed 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 |
| 11855 | csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100 |
| 11856 | files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.) |

| 12187 | I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used |

| 12189 | I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is |

| 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 | |

| 12811 | Subject: Full LONG_MAX & co. patch over 5.003_05 |
| 12812 | |
| 12813 | This patch contains the changes I've collected for the various _MAX issues |
| 12814 | since 5.003_05. No patches issued between 5.003_05 and this one should be |
| 12815 | applied, use this one instead. |
| 12816 | |
| 12817 | The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are |
| 12818 | ambiguous) and to explicitly cast all of the constants. |

| 12823 | |
| 12824 | The patch below (which is relative to perl5.001l) implements |
| 12825 | "keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for |
| 12826 | pre-sizing hashes. I've only moved the patch forward from |
| 12827 | when I first did it. I'm sure the code in hv_ksplit could be |
| 12828 | improved. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 |

| 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 | |

| 13939 | Subject: h2xs bug fix |
| 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. |

| 14016 | ---------------- |
| 14017 | Version 5.003_05 |
| 14018 | ---------------- |
| 14019 | |
| 14020 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of |
| 14021 | the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below. |
| 14022 | A very brief summary is: |
| 14023 | |
| 14024 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 14025 | |
| 14026 | -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles. |
| 14027 | |
| 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 | |
| 14037 | o 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. |
| 14042 | |
| 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. |
| 14050 | |
| 14051 | -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only |
| 14052 | prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.) |
| 14053 | |
| 14054 | o 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 | |
| 14063 | o Specific Changes |
| 14064 | |
| 14065 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |
| 14066 | |
| 14067 | # This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04 |
| 14068 | # The full description is below. |
| 14069 | # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch. |
| 14070 | # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.) |
| 14071 | # -- Andy Dougherty |
| 14072 | |
| 14073 | # We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it |
| 14074 | # executable. |
| 14075 | touch t/io/read.t |
| 14076 | chmod +x t/io/read.t |
| 14077 | |
| 14078 | exit 0 |
| 14079 | |
| 14080 | |
| 14081 | This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04. |
| 14082 | This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05. |
| 14083 | |
| 14084 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 14085 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 14086 | |
| 14087 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat |
| 14088 | |
| 14089 | The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is |
| 14090 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as |
| 14091 | |
| 14092 | csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}' |
| 14093 | |
| 14094 | Index: Changes |
| 14095 | |
| 14096 | Updated for 5.003_05. |
| 14097 | |
| 14098 | Index: Configure |
| 14099 | |
| 14100 | Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs. |
| 14101 | |
| 14102 | Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10. |
| 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. |
| 14110 | |
| 14111 | Include -s in the -h summary of available options. |
| 14112 | |
| 14113 | Allow command-line override of $afs. |
| 14114 | |
| 14115 | Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10. |
| 14116 | |
| 14117 | Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to |
| 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 $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its |
| 14123 | -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are |
| 14124 | welcome. |

| 14275 | since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other |
| 14276 | SVs that may get reused) as keys. |

| 14312 | Add helpful "die" message to end of AnyDBM_File. Previously |
| 14313 | it would return a 0, and the failure would eventually show up |
| 14314 | somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is |
| 14315 | a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression |
| 14316 | suite is supposed to indicate this as a failure too. |

| 14360 | There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that |
| 14361 | gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the |
| 14362 | argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too |
| 14363 | many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that |
| 14364 | calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2 |
| 14365 | in this case. |

| 14376 | Subject: syslog.pl `use Socket' lossage |
| 14377 | |
| 14378 | syslog.pl tries but fails to use |
| 14379 | Socket.pm, the problem is that use doesn't return a true value. This |
| 14380 | module should be recast in terms of Sys::Syslog, of course. |

| 14388 | |
| 14389 | Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem. |
| 14390 | I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually |
| 14391 | uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys |
| 14392 | to the vtbl_dbline handlers). |
| 14393 | |
| 14394 | Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with |
| 14395 | the simple MgPVKEY macro. |
| 14396 | |
| 14397 | Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add |
| 14398 | additional parens around the "mg". |
| 14399 | |
| 14400 | (lines near 584) Part of VMS changes. I don't know what this did. |

| 14406 | This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers |
| 14407 | (C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from |
| 14408 | C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!. |

| 14601 | io_sock.t works by forking a subprocess it can communicate with. |

| 14603 | seconds or until an alarm arrives. |

| 14605 | With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child |
| 14606 | has a chance to ignore the alarm signal. |
| 14607 | |
| 14608 | I fixed this by moving the "$SIG{ALRM} = sub {};" up before the |

| 14663 | unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error |
| 14664 | there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I |
| 14665 | inside -F. |
| 14666 | c) .h file would be scanned only if needed. |
| 14667 | d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ). |
| 14668 | e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be |
| 14669 | included into POD. |
| 14670 | f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated; |
| 14671 | g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that |
| 14672 | xsubpp would probably choke on such guys). |

| 14728 | Version 5.003_04 |
| 14729 | ---------------- |
| 14730 | |
| 14731 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of |
| 14732 | the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below. |
| 14733 | A very brief summary is: |
| 14734 | |
| 14735 | o 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 | |
| 14742 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 14743 | |
| 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 | |
| 14750 | o Bug fixes |
| 14751 | |
| 14752 | -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed. |
| 14753 | -Ilya's debugger patch. |
| 14754 | -FAKE typeglobs fixed. |
| 14755 | -truncate with file name now works. |
| 14756 | -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs |
| 14757 | -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes. |
| 14758 | -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__. |
| 14759 | |
| 14760 | o Specific Changes |
| 14761 | |
| 14762 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |

| 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 |

| 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. |

| 15247 | Use col -x to filter out half-line feeds (ESC-9) from |
| 15248 | HP-UX nroff -man output. (col -x isn't portable -- SunOS |
| 15249 | doesn't support the -x option.) |

| 15251 | |
| 15252 | ---------------- |
| 15253 | Version 5.003_03 |
| 15254 | ---------------- |
| 15255 | |
| 15256 | Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation |
| 15257 | process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief |
| 15258 | summary is: |
| 15259 | |
| 15260 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 15261 | |
| 15262 | -Support for tied filehandles. |
| 15263 | |
| 15264 | o Configure enhancements |
| 15265 | |
| 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 | |
| 15269 | o 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 | |
| 15278 | -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time |
| 15279 | rather than extraction time. |
| 15280 | |
| 15281 | o Specific Changes |
| 15282 | |
| 15283 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |
| 15284 | |
| 15285 | # This is my patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl5.003_02 |
| 15286 | # The full description is below. |
| 15287 | # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch. |
| 15288 | # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.) |

| 15296 | |

| 15298 | # here rather than in the appropriate subdirectories. |
| 15299 | rm -f os2/README |

| 15303 | |
| 15304 | # New test for bit ops. |
| 15305 | touch t/op/bob.t |
| 15306 | |
| 15307 | # Patches that create new tests don't always make them executable. |
| 15308 | chmod +x t/*/*.t |
| 15309 | |
| 15310 | # Create a new directory for Porting and Patching info. |
| 15311 | mkdir Porting |
| 15312 | |
| 15313 | exit 0 |
| 15314 | |
| 15315 | This is patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl version 5.003_02. |
| 15316 | This takes you from 5.003_02 to 5.003_03. |
| 15317 | |
| 15318 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 15319 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 15320 | |
| 15321 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_03.pat |
| 15322 | |
| 15323 | The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is |
| 15324 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as |
| 15325 | |
| 15326 | csplit -k perl5.003_03.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}' |
| 15327 | |
| 15328 | Index: Changes |
| 15329 | |
| 15330 | Include 5.003_03 change notes. |
| 15331 | |
| 15332 | Move older change notes to separate files. |
| 15333 | |
| 15334 | Index: Changes5.000 |
| 15335 | |
| 15336 | New file. Changes from perl4.036 to 5.000. |
| 15337 | |
| 15338 | Index: Changes5.001 |
| 15339 | |
| 15340 | New file. Changes from 5.000 to 5.001 |
| 15341 | |
| 15342 | Index: Changes5.002 |
| 15343 | |
| 15344 | New file. Changes from 5.001 to 5.002 |
| 15345 | |
| 15346 | Index: Changes5.003 |
| 15347 | |
| 15348 | New file. Changes from 5.002 to 5.003 |
| 15349 | |
| 15350 | Index: 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 | |
| 15407 | Index: 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 | |
| 15418 | Index: 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 | |
| 15424 | Index: 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 | |
| 15438 | Index: 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 | |
| 15444 | Index: README.os2 |
| 15445 | |
| 15446 | Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README. |
| 15447 | |
| 15448 | Index: 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 | |
| 15454 | Index: 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 | |
| 15465 | Index: doio.c |
| 15466 | |
| 15467 | Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h> |
| 15468 | |
| 15469 | Index: 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 | |
| 15475 | Index: embed.h |
| 15476 | |
| 15477 | Auto-generated. |
| 15478 | |
| 15479 | Index: embed.pl |
| 15480 | |
| 15481 | Expand warning at the top. |
| 15482 | |
| 15483 | Index: ext/IO/IO.pm |
| 15484 | |
| 15485 | Clean up docmentation installation errors. |
| 15486 | |

| 15499 | Index: ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h |
| 15500 | |

| 15502 | |
| 15503 | Index: ext/util/make_ext |
| 15504 | |
| 15505 | Typo change. |
| 15506 | Get rid of unused altmake. |
| 15507 | |
| 15508 | Index: global.sym |
| 15509 | |
| 15510 | Fix problems with each() on tied hashes. |
| 15511 | |
| 15512 | Index: 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 | |
| 15522 | Index: hints/README.hints |
| 15523 | |
| 15524 | Remove out-of-date info. |
| 15525 | |
| 15526 | Document a bit about how hint files work. |
| 15527 | |
| 15528 | Index: hints/aix.sh |
| 15529 | |
| 15530 | qmaxmem hint doesn't apply to gcc. |
| 15531 | |
| 15532 | Index: hints/dgux.sh |
| 15533 | |
| 15534 | Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff. |
| 15535 | |
| 15536 | Index: hints/dynixptx.sh |
| 15537 | |
| 15538 | Fix typo in comment. |
| 15539 | |
| 15540 | Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff. |
| 15541 | |
| 15542 | Index: 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 | |
| 15547 | Index: hints/irix_6_2.sh |
| 15548 | |
| 15549 | Include some info on cc -n32 compile. |
| 15550 | |
| 15551 | Index: hints/linux.sh |
| 15552 | |
| 15553 | Configure now tests gcvt() more thoroughly. |
| 15554 | |
| 15555 | Index: hints/machten_2.sh |
| 15556 | |
| 15557 | Update where to find dld. |
| 15558 | |
| 15559 | Index: hints/mips.sh |
| 15560 | |
| 15561 | Use glibpth instead of libpth. |
| 15562 | |
| 15563 | Index: 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 | |
| 15569 | Index: 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 | |
| 15584 | Index: hints/os2.sh |
| 15585 | |
| 15586 | Try to update to reflect newer shared libperl stuff. |
| 15587 | I probably goofed :-). |
| 15588 | |
| 15589 | Index: hints/sco.sh |
| 15590 | |
| 15591 | Additional notes on using icc. |
| 15592 | |
| 15593 | Additional flags for dynamic loading. |
| 15594 | |
| 15595 | Index: 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 | |
| 15600 | Index: hints/sunos_4_0.sh |
| 15601 | |
| 15602 | Don't include <unistd.h> |

| 15607 | |
| 15608 | Don't include <unistd.h> |
| 15609 | |
| 15610 | Add notes about WHOA THERE messages. |
| 15611 | |

| 15613 | |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 | |

| 15864 | ---------------- |
| 15865 | Version 5.003_02 |
| 15866 | ---------------- |
| 15867 | |
| 15868 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 15869 | - Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings. |
| 15870 | - Fixes for ++/-- of values close to max/min size of an integer |
| 15871 | - Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}. |
| 15872 | - UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method. |
| 15873 | |
| 15874 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 15875 | - PerlIO abstraction added. |
| 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. |
| 15878 | Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or |
| 15879 | to use sfio if available. |
| 15880 | |
| 15881 | - Several bug fixs from perl5-porters |
| 15882 | - Make sources non-ANSI C correct again. |
| 15883 | - SUPER in gv.c |
| 15884 | - Last of shared-hash-key patches |
| 15885 | - eval '(0,1..3)'; # --> SegFault |
| 15886 | - coredumps after simple subsitutes. |
| 15887 | - Correction to UNIVERSAL::VERSION docs. |
| 15888 | - Fixed io_udp test. |
| 15889 | - Fixed another abuse of malloc'ed memory. |
| 15890 | - Enabled DEBUGING_MSTATS whenever perl's malloc() is used. |
| 15891 | - Reverted to default of not hiding perl's malloc (if used). |
| 15892 | |
| 15893 | o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities |
| 15894 | - Fixed MakeMaker for static SDBM and builing in a link tree. |
| 15895 | - Upgraded to IO-1.09, and includes latest (still experimental) IO::Select. |
| 15896 | - Documentation/test tweak to DB_File |
| 15897 | - h2xs upgrade to allow use C::Scan module |
| 15898 | |
| 15899 | o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support |
| 15900 | - Attempted to re-created 5.003_01's NeXT support with metaconfig units. |
| 15901 | - Updated MANIFEST |
| 15902 | - make minitest now depends on lib/Config.pm, as some of tests require it. |
| 15903 | - Included latest plan9 sub-directory |
| 15904 | - Applied OS/2 patches. |
| 15905 | - Typo patch for VMS. |
| 15906 | |
| 15907 | |
| 15908 | ---------------- |
| 15909 | Version 5.003_01 |
| 15910 | ---------------- |
| 15911 | |
| 15912 | Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since |
| 15913 | version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately |
| 15914 | kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core, |
| 15915 | library files, and documentation, this patch contains several |
| 15916 | significant revisions, summarized below: |
| 15917 | |
| 15918 | o 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 | |
| 15950 | o 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 | |
| 15993 | o 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 | |
| 16040 | o 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 | |
| 16050 | o 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). |
