54 Version 5.004_05 Maintenance release 5 for 5.004
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

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.
9358 And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
9359 updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

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".
9525 IMHO, this is Beta quality code.

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.
11124 If it doesn't work for you, try
11126 LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
11128 for Bourne shell users, or
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.
11136 The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
11138 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
11140 -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
11141 documentation on the 'w' option.
11143 -untaint support added to IO extension.
11145 o Changes in Core Internals
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.)
11151 -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
11153 o Configure and build enhancements
11155 -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
11158 -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
11162 -print sort (4,1,3,2);
11164 -group numbers are integers again.
11166 -other things. See the specific changes for details.
11170 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
11174 Updated for 5.003_07.
11176 Fixed a spelling error.
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
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.
11192 Warn about re-using config.sh version-specific values.

11198 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
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.
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.
11209 Add mention of t/lib/io_taint.t

11224 config.h should depend on config_h.SH.
11226 Remove mkmanifest target, since it will generate incorrectly
11227 sorted MANIFEST file, I would imagine (I haven't checked).

11262 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
11264 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
11265 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
11266 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
11267 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
11269 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
11270 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
11271 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

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:
11594 Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
11595 code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

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:
11775 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
11777 -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
11778 locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
11779 Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
11781 -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
11782 backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
11784 -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
11787 -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
11789 o Changes in Core Internals
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
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
11800 o Configure and build enhancements
11802 -many new tests for the standard library.
11804 -test suite now locale-friendly.
11806 -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
11810 -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
11812 -many, many other things. See details below.
11816 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
11818 # This is my patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl5.003_05

11820 # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.

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.
11844 To apply this patch, run the above commands,
11845 cd to your perl source directory and then type
11847 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
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
11852 csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
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.)
11860 Updated for 5.003_06.
11864 Add -Wl,rpath option for irix* to find the installed shared
11867 Add /shlib to libpth. It is used by Digital Unix 4.0.

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

13274 Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl
13275 5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules.
13277 Bugs found in pod2man
13279 The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
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.]
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.]
13294 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
13295 by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
13297 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
13298 from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
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."'.
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.

13336 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA

13338 this should not introduce any insecurity.

13369 Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
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.

13379 From: Spider Boardman
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.

13452 Subject: Patch: Untaint FH flag and clean DATA handles
13454 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
13455 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
13456 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
13457 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
13458 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
13459 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
13460 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
13461 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
13462 this should not introduce any insecurity.
13464 This patch *does not*:
13466 * Add the "untaint" keyword.

13470 Subject: Re: "Attempt to free non-existent shared string"? (with patch)
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.
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

14012 This patch just changed the old s2p.man page into a pod page.
14013 I then embedded the pod into the s2p script.
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:
14024 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
14026 -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
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.
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
14037 o Configure and build enhancements
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.
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
14051 -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
14052 prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
14056 -debugger ought to work.
14058 -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
14059 5.003_04 from working most places.
14061 -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
14065 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

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.)

14076 chmod +x t/io/read.t
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.
14084 To apply this patch, run the above commands,
14085 cd to your perl source directory and then type
14087 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
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
14092 csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
14096 Updated for 5.003_05.
14100 Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs.
14102 Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10.
14104 Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
14105 as older 'domain' directive.
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.
14111 Include -s in the -h summary of available options.
14113 Allow command-line override of $afs.
14115 Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10.
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.)
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
14128 Correct libperl5 -> libperl typo.
14130 Describe MakeMaker's Warning (will try anyway) messages.
14132 More info on where and how to send reports.
14134 Add info on non-Unix ports.
14139 Add new test t/io/read.t.
14141 Add new hints files for ODBM_File for ultrix and hpux.
14143 Add new pod checker script.
14147 A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH needs to be quoted.
14149 shrpenv stuff moved to Configure.

14271 Subject: debugger problems--another patch (was Re: 5.003_04)
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
14276 SVs that may get reused) as keys.

14307 Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
14308 order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
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.

14351 From: Michael Mahan <mahanm@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu>
14352 Subject: Cwd::fastcwd in File::Find
14354 Is there a good reason why File::Find uses Cwd::fastcwd instead of
14355 Cwd:cwd when fastcwd isn't as portable?
14356 [In particular, fastcwd() doesn't work on AFS.]
14358 Index: lib/Math/Complex.pm
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

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.
14382 Index: makedepend.SH
14384 This patch eliminates "\|" in sed patterns in makedepend.SH, since
14385 they're not really needed anyway in this one case.
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).
14394 Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
14395 the simple MgPVKEY macro.
14397 Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
14398 additional parens around the "mg".
14400 (lines near 584) Part of VMS changes. I don't know what this did.

14403 From: Chip Salzenberg
14404 Subject: Integerize mg.c; eliminate warning on C< local($)) >
14406 This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers
14407 (C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from
14408 C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!.
14412 Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
14413 the simple MgPVKEY macro.
14415 Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
14416 additional parens around the "mg".

14438 minor cleanups. Nothing crucial.
14440 Make a little more C++-friendly for IBM's CSET++ compiler.
14442 Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
14443 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
14444 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.

14450 Add PerlIO_reopen and PerlIO_cgetname functions.
14454 Don't supply redundant parameters for PerlIO_open and PerlIO_fdopen.
14456 Include PerlIO_reopen and PerlIO_getname.
14458 s/FILE_(CNT|PTR)_LVALUE/STDIO_(CNT|PTR)_LVALUE to fix a typo.
14459 This had prevented SV_FAST_FGETS from working anywhere.
14461 Include PerlIO_canset_cnt. I'm not sure how this is supposed to
14462 differ from STDIO_CNT_LVALUE.

14554 This is almost certainly a bug-fix.
14556 Undef and then re-define my_chsize from Perl_my_chsize to
14557 just plain chsize if this system HAS_CHSIZE. This probably only
14558 applies to SCO. This shows the perils of having internal
14559 functions with the same name as external library functions :-).
14561 Use CLK_TCK if HZ is not available.
14565 Fix more spots where we had PerlIO_stderr() and should have had
14566 Perl_debug_log instead.

14570 Subject: Minor potential bug in AV creation
14572 I wasn't the one who originated this patch. But it looks like it
14573 would improve the safety of AV creation.
14575 Remove potentially incorrect casts on PerlIO_set_ptrcnt.
14576 'ptr' is already STDCHAR, which is supposed to be the type of
14577 char used in stdio.h, so we shouldn't have to cast it.
14581 Clear any buffer space exposed by by read().

14599 Subject: Perl 5.003.03: race condition in t/lib/io_sock.t
14601 io_sock.t works by forking a subprocess it can communicate with.
14602 It has the subprocess wait for the main process by sleeping 10
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.
14608 I fixed this by moving the "$SIG{ALRM} = sub {};" up before the
14609 fork. It does not hurt to have the parent ignore alarms, too.

14661 a) Docs and examples for -x updated;
14662 b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h
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

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:
14735 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
14737 -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
14739 -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
14740 it's in the same category as `` and system().
14742 o Configure and build enhancements
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.
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__.
14762 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

14841 Subject: random cleanup
14843 This patch removes a few obvious redundancies in the source.
14847 Updated. Note new comments to make AIX happy.
14851 Change /*#define../**/ into /*#define../ **/
14852 to make IBM's xlc compiler shut up about nested comments.
14853 The /*#define FOO /**/ is a perfectly legal un-nested comment, and
14854 I wish IBM would fix it's blasted compiler instead. In the meantime
14855 we'll take mercy on the poor AIX user and get rid of the screenfulls
14856 of stupid warning messages. Thanks to Hallvard B Furuseth for the fix.

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.

15061 Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &

15160 Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
15162 When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
15163 Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks

15167 This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
15168 method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.

15359 Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
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.
15366 Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.

15411 Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
15412 useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
15414 Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
15416 Miscellaneous clarifications.
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.
15426 Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
15428 Use new $make_set_make directive.
15430 Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
15432 Remove unnecessary MAB variable.

15516 Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.

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.
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.
15881 - Several bug fixs from perl5-porters
15882 - Make sources non-ANSI C correct again.
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).
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
15899 o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
15900 - Attempted to re-created 5.003_01's NeXT support with metaconfig units.
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.
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:
15918 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
15950 o Changes in Core Internals
15952 - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
15954 - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
15955 optimized at compile time into inline constants.
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
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
15967 - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
15968 in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
15970 - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
15971 array has been made safer.
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
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.
15990 - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
15991 multiple interpreters have been fixed.
15993 o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
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
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.
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.
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.
16017 - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
16018 to the currently executing program, has been added to the
16019 standard distribution.
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.
16025 - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
16026 determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
16028 - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
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.
16035 - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
16036 can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
16038 - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
16040 o Changes in Documentation
16042 - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
16043 documentation for the core and standard library files
16045 - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
16047 - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
16048 extensively revised.
16050 o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
16052 - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
16053 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
16055 - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
16056 options for building a.out binaries.
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.
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).
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).
