6181 The only language change in this release is the recension of support
6182 for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
6183 a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
6184 there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
6185 functions as closures.
6187 And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
6188 updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

6349 Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
6350 leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
6351 method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
6352 directory, "t/pragma".
6354 IMHO, this is Beta quality code.

7949 This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
7950 in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
7951 testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
7953 If it doesn't work for you, try
7955 LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
7957 for Bourne shell users, or
7961 for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
7962 problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
7963 as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
7965 The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
7967 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
7969 -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
7970 documentation on the 'w' option.
7972 -untaint support added to IO extension.
7974 o Changes in Core Internals
7976 -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
7977 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
7978 with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
7980 -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
7982 o Configure and build enhancements
7984 -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
7987 -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
7991 -print sort (4,1,3,2);
7993 -group numbers are integers again.
7995 -other things. See the specific changes for details.
7999 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
8003 Updated for 5.003_07.
8005 Fixed a spelling error.
8009 Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
8010 Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
8011 program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
8012 Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
8015 Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
8016 Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
8017 or the other in the hints file for now.
8021 Warn about re-using config.sh version-specific values.

8417 This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
8418 about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
8419 the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
8420 p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
8421 the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
8423 Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
8424 code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

8600 This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
8601 and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
8602 The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
8604 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
8606 -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
8607 locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
8608 Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
8610 -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
8611 backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
8613 -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
8616 -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
8618 o Changes in Core Internals
8620 -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
8621 versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
8622 as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
8625 -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
8626 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
8629 o Configure and build enhancements
8631 -many new tests for the standard library.
8633 -test suite now locale-friendly.
8635 -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
8639 -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
8641 -many, many other things. See details below.
8645 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
8647 # This is my patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl5.003_05
8648 # The full description is below.
8649 # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
8650 # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)
8653 # We'll create some new tests, but patch won't automatically make them
8655 for t in abbrev.t autoloader.t basename.t checktree.t complex.t \
8656 env.t fatal.t filecache.t filecopy.t filefind.t filepath.t \
8657 findbin.t getopt.t hostname.t parsewords.t searchdict.t \
8658 selectsaver.t symbol.t texttabs.t textwrap.t timelocal.t
8664 # The a2p.man and s2p.man pages have been changed into pods.
8665 rm -f x2p/a2p.man x2p/s2p.man
8670 This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.
8671 This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
8673 To apply this patch, run the above commands,
8674 cd to your perl source directory and then type
8676 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
8678 The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
8679 designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
8681 csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
8683 (Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
8684 csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
8685 files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)
8689 Updated for 5.003_06.
8693 Add -Wl,rpath option for irix* to find the installed shared
8696 Add /shlib to libpth. It is used by Digital Unix 4.0.

10103 Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl
10104 5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules.
10106 Bugs found in pod2man
10108 The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
10110 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
10111 treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
10112 rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
10113 around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
10114 remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
10115 can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
10116 without breaking links.]
10118 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
10119 of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
10120 \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
10121 having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
10123 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
10124 by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
10126 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
10127 from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
10129 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
10130 confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
10131 with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
10132 of basic functions."'.
10134 Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
10135 modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

10157 Subject: Patch: Untaint FH flag and clean DATA handles
10159 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
10160 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
10161 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
10162 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
10163 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
10164 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
10165 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
10166 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
10167 this should not introduce any insecurity.
10169 This patch *does not*:
10171 * Add the "untaint" keyword.

10180 Subject: Patch: Untaint FH flag and clean DATA handles
10182 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
10183 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
10184 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
10185 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
10186 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
10187 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
10188 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
10189 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
10190 this should not introduce any insecurity.
10192 This patch *does not*:

10198 Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
10200 The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
10201 has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
10202 re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
10203 considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
10204 its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
10205 then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

10210 First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
10211 miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the

10213 work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

10838 From: "Joseph S. Myers" <jsm28@hermes.cam.ac.uk>
10839 Subject: Pod typos, pod2man bugs, and miscellaneous installation comments
10841 This patch just changed the old s2p.man page into a pod page.
10842 I then embedded the pod into the s2p script.
10849 This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
10850 the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
10851 A very brief summary is:
10853 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
10855 -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
10857 -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
10858 than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
10859 systems, but should be correct now.
10861 -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
10862 Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
10863 order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
10866 o Configure and build enhancements
10868 -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
10869 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
10870 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
10872 -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
10873 the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
10874 ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
10875 supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
10880 -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
10881 prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
10885 -debugger ought to work.
10887 -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
10888 5.003_04 from working most places.
10890 -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
10894 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
10896 # This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04
10897 # The full description is below.
10898 # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
10899 # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)
10900 # -- Andy Dougherty
10902 # We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it
10905 chmod +x t/io/read.t
10910 This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04.
10911 This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05.
10913 To apply this patch, run the above commands,
10914 cd to your perl source directory and then type
10916 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
10918 The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
10919 designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
10921 csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
10925 Updated for 5.003_05.
10929 Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs.
10931 Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10.
10933 Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
10934 as older 'domain' directive.
10936 Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
10937 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
10938 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
10940 Include -s in the -h summary of available options.
10942 Allow command-line override of $afs.
10944 Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10.
10946 Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to
10947 be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
10949 When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
10950 correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
10951 -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its
10952 -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are
10957 Correct libperl5 -> libperl typo.
10959 Describe MakeMaker's Warning (will try anyway) messages.
10961 More info on where and how to send reports.
10963 Add info on non-Unix ports.
10968 Add new test t/io/read.t.
10970 Add new hints files for ODBM_File for ultrix and hpux.
10972 Add new pod checker script.
10976 A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH needs to be quoted.
10978 shrpenv stuff moved to Configure.

11144 a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression

11213 This patch eliminates "\|" in sed patterns in makedepend.SH, since
11214 they're not really needed anyway in this one case.
11218 Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem.
11219 I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually
11220 uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys
11221 to the vtbl_dbline handlers).

11224 the simple MgPVKEY macro.
11226 Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
11227 additional parens around the "mg".

11387 applies to SCO. This shows the perils of having internal
11388 functions with the same name as external library functions :-).

11405 'ptr' is already STDCHAR, which is supposed to be the type of
11406 char used in stdio.h, so we shouldn't have to cast it.

11434 With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child
11435 has a chance to ignore the alarm signal.
11437 I fixed this by moving the "$SIG{ALRM} = sub {};" up before the

11487 Subject: updated h2xs
11490 a) Docs and examples for -x updated;
11491 b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h
11492 unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error
11493 there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I
11495 c) .h file would be scanned only if needed.
11496 d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ).
11497 e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be
11499 f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated;
11500 g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that
11501 xsubpp would probably choke on such guys).
11503 -x option requires C-Scan-0.3 (releases a couple of minutes ago to
11504 ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/perl
11505 should propagate to CPAN soon).

11513 More choices in the pager war. Unfortunately, we can't rely on
11514 all users agreeing with the Sysadmin's choice, nor can we
11515 assign a default preference order, since opinions vary. If the
11516 user doesn't have $ENV{PAGER} set, we do want to pick up one that
11517 at least works, so we'll try whatever Configure found.

11560 This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
11561 the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
11562 A very brief summary is:
11564 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
11566 -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
11568 -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
11569 it's in the same category as `` and system().
11571 o Configure and build enhancements
11573 -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
11574 -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
11575 Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
11576 probably what was intended.
11577 -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
11581 -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed.
11582 -Ilya's debugger patch.
11583 -FAKE typeglobs fixed.
11584 -truncate with file name now works.
11585 -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs
11586 -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes.
11587 -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__.
11591 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

11612 This is patch perl5.003_04.pat to perl version 5.003_03.
11613 This takes you from 5.003_03 to 5.003_04.
11615 To apply this patch, run the above commands,
11616 cd to your perl source directory and then type
11618 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_04.pat
11620 The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
11621 designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
11623 csplit -k perl5.003_04.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
11627 Updated for 5.003_04.
11631 Change name of shared libperl library back to libperl.so.xxx,
11632 so that a simple -lperl picks up either libperl.a or
11635 Check if $sh='' in case we've reloaded an old config.sh
11639 Change name of shared perl library to libperl, instead of
11642 Add notes about fragility of shared libperl and the usefulness
11643 of archlib to separate different binaries.
11649 obsolete hints/dnix.sh removed.
11655 For building shared libperl, relocate whole rule to
11656 inside the if test -f $osname/Makefile.SHs case.

11668 Subject: Re: SEGV with $_[0] and circular references
11670 Subject: random cleanup
11672 This patch removes a few obvious redundancies in the source.
11676 Updated. Note new comments to make AIX happy.
11680 Change /*#define../**/ into /*#define../ **/
11681 to make IBM's xlc compiler shut up about nested comments.
11682 The /*#define FOO /**/ is a perfectly legal un-nested comment, and
11683 I wish IBM would fix it's blasted compiler instead. In the meantime
11684 we'll take mercy on the poor AIX user and get rid of the screenfulls
11685 of stupid warning messages. Thanks to Hallvard B Furuseth for the fix.
11689 This patch changes neither behavior nor performance. However, it does
11690 reduce code size and improve maintainability by combining some common
11691 code in gv_fullname() and gv_efullname().

11721 reduce code size and improve maintainability by combining some common
11722 code in gv_fullname() and gv_efullname().
11726 Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
11728 Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
11729 should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
11730 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
11731 symbols the complete set of
11732 /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
11733 those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
11734 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
11735 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
11736 changed appropriately.
11738 The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
11739 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
11740 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.
11742 Add notes on perl's internal types, specifically Quad_t and IV.

11793 A patch to perl5.003_02/malloc to give a sensible error abort() message
11794 in ANSI C, and to give it to stderr instead of stdout.
11796 Use config_h's STRINGIFY macro instead of pre-ANSI "p".
11800 Subject: FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
11802 Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
11803 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
11805 The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
11806 which might coerce its first arg to a string.
11808 Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
11809 weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
11810 hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
11811 significant problem.)

11833 Subject: Re: truncate with file name does not work (with patch)
11835 The prototype for truncate was changed so that perl won't die
11836 with C<use strict;> when the first arg is a bareword (filehandle).
11837 I think it was Tom (as in "tchrist") who brought this up.

11840 C<use strict;>, and adds to the testsuite.

11869 should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
11870 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
11871 symbols the complete set of

11874 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
11875 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
11876 changed appropriately.

11879 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
11880 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.
11882 Add notes on perl's internal types, specifically Quad_t and IV.
11886 Removes an incorrect prototype for setlinebuf from
11887 perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in
11888 MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well).
11890 Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
11891 HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
11892 manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
11893 different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit

11989 Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
11991 When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
11992 Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks
11993 destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive
11996 This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
11997 method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.
11998 It has no effect on normal operation.

12255 Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
12257 Use new $make_set_make directive.
12259 Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
12261 Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
12263 Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
12264 well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
12265 miniperl in the first place!
12267 Index: Porting/Glossary
12269 New file describing all the config.sh variables.
12270 Eventually, I hope to fill this directory with other useful
12275 Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README.
12279 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
12280 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
12281 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
12285 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
12286 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
12287 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
12289 Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB,
12290 SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the
12291 ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
12292 is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.
12296 Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h>
12300 No longer prefer bcmp over memcmp when order doesn't matter.
12302 Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.

12345 Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.
12346 This is necessary so . . .
12348 Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's

12405 Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
12406 cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
12407 the -arch stuff from cppflags.)

12697 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
12698 - Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings.
12699 - Fixes for ++/-- of values close to max/min size of an integer
12700 - Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}.
12701 - UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method.
12703 o Changes in Core Internals
12704 - PerlIO abstraction added.
12705 Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO
12706 mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros.
12707 Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or
12708 to use sfio if available.
12710 - Several bug fixs from perl5-porters
12711 - Make sources non-ANSI C correct again.
12713 - Last of shared-hash-key patches
12714 - eval '(0,1..3)'; # --> SegFault
12715 - coredumps after simple subsitutes.
12716 - Correction to UNIVERSAL::VERSION docs.
12717 - Fixed io_udp test.
12718 - Fixed another abuse of malloc'ed memory.
12719 - Enabled DEBUGING_MSTATS whenever perl's malloc() is used.
12720 - Reverted to default of not hiding perl's malloc (if used).
12722 o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
12723 - Fixed MakeMaker for static SDBM and builing in a link tree.
12724 - Upgraded to IO-1.09, and includes latest (still experimental) IO::Select.
12725 - Documentation/test tweak to DB_File
12726 - h2xs upgrade to allow use C::Scan module
12728 o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
12729 - Attempted to re-created 5.003_01's NeXT support with metaconfig units.
12731 - make minitest now depends on lib/Config.pm, as some of tests require it.
12732 - Included latest plan9 sub-directory
12733 - Applied OS/2 patches.
12734 - Typo patch for VMS.
12741 Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
12742 version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
12743 kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
12744 library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
12745 significant revisions, summarized below:
12747 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
12749 - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
12750 the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
12751 and several common extensions are working.
12753 - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
12754 the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
12755 class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
12757 - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
12758 variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
12759 variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
12760 inaccessible by its name.
12762 - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
12763 checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
12764 can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
12766 - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
12767 produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
12768 exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
12770 - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
12771 an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
12772 side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
12773 well as an alphabetic character.
12775 - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
12776 -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
12779 o Changes in Core Internals
12781 - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
12783 - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
12784 optimized at compile time into inline constants.
12786 - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
12787 conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
12788 to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
12791 - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
12792 stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
12793 present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
12796 - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
12797 in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
12799 - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
12800 array has been made safer.
12802 - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
12803 with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
12804 Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
12805 previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
12806 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
12807 namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
12808 so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
12809 After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
12812 - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
12813 optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
12814 which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
12815 conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
12816 chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
12817 the case in Perl programs.
12819 - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
12820 multiple interpreters have been fixed.
12822 o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
12824 - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
12825 access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
12826 distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
12827 Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
12830 - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
12831 oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
12832 standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
12833 for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
12834 subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
12835 class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
12836 rather than FileHandle.
12838 - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
12839 of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
12840 applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
12842 - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
12843 for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
12844 has been added to the standard distribution.
12846 - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
12847 to the currently executing program, has been added to the
12848 standard distribution.
12850 - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
12851 Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
12852 have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
12854 - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
12855 determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
12857 - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
12859 - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
12860 provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
12861 making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
12862 to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
12864 - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
12865 can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
12867 - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
12869 o Changes in Documentation
12871 - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
12872 documentation for the core and standard library files
12874 - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
12876 - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
12877 extensively revised.
12879 o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
12881 - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
12882 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
12884 - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
12885 options for building a.out binaries.
12887 - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
12888 processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of
12889 carriage control interpretation for record-structured files,
12890 improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of
12891 VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance
12892 in line-oriented reading of files.
12894 - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
12895 convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
12896 irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
12897 next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
12898 sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
12900 - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set
12901 of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation
12902 they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
