A new function, Unicode::UCD::num(), has been added. This function
returns the numeric value of the string passed it or C<undef> if the string
in its entirety has no "safe" numeric value. (For more detail, and for the

This upgrade also includes several bug fixes:
the most common path for creating files from Perl became C<PerlIOUnix_open>,
which has always explicitly used C<0666> as the permission mask. This prevents
inheriting permissions from RMS defaults and ACLs, so to avoid that problem,

allows Unix syscalls to preserve native default permissions (5.12.3).
