7188 The only language change in this release is the recension of support
7189 for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
7190 a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
7191 there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
7192 functions as closures.
7194 And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
7195 updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

7356 Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
7357 leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
7358 method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
7359 directory, "t/pragma".
7361 IMHO, this is Beta quality code.

8956 This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
8957 in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
8958 testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
8960 If it doesn't work for you, try
8962 LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
8964 for Bourne shell users, or
8968 for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
8969 problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
8970 as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
8972 The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
8974 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
8976 -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
8977 documentation on the 'w' option.
8979 -untaint support added to IO extension.
8981 o Changes in Core Internals
8983 -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
8984 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
8985 with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
8987 -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
8989 o Configure and build enhancements
8991 -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
8994 -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
8998 -print sort (4,1,3,2);
9000 -group numbers are integers again.
9002 -other things. See the specific changes for details.
9006 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
9010 Updated for 5.003_07.
9012 Fixed a spelling error.
9016 Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
9017 Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
9018 program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
9019 Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
9022 Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
9023 Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
9024 or the other in the hints file for now.
9028 Warn about re-using config.sh version-specific values.

9034 Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
9036 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
9037 IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
9038 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
9039 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
9041 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
9042 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
9043 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

9424 This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
9425 about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
9426 the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
9427 p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
9428 the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
9430 Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
9431 code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

9506 This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in

9508 that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
9509 said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
9511 This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
9512 pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
9513 adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

9607 This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
9608 and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
9609 The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
9611 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
9613 -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
9614 locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
9615 Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
9617 -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
9618 backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
9620 -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
9623 -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
9625 o Changes in Core Internals
9627 -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
9628 versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
9629 as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
9632 -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
9633 as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
9636 o Configure and build enhancements
9638 -many new tests for the standard library.
9640 -test suite now locale-friendly.
9642 -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
9646 -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
9648 -many, many other things. See details below.
9652 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
9654 # This is my patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl5.003_05
9655 # The full description is below.
9656 # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
9657 # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)
9660 # We'll create some new tests, but patch won't automatically make them
9662 for t in abbrev.t autoloader.t basename.t checktree.t complex.t \
9663 env.t fatal.t filecache.t filecopy.t filefind.t filepath.t \
9664 findbin.t getopt.t hostname.t parsewords.t searchdict.t \
9665 selectsaver.t symbol.t texttabs.t textwrap.t timelocal.t
9671 # The a2p.man and s2p.man pages have been changed into pods.
9672 rm -f x2p/a2p.man x2p/s2p.man
9677 This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.
9678 This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
9680 To apply this patch, run the above commands,
9681 cd to your perl source directory and then type
9683 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
9685 The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
9686 designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
9688 csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
9690 (Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
9691 csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
9692 files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)
9696 Updated for 5.003_06.
9700 Add -Wl,rpath option for irix* to find the installed shared
9703 Add /shlib to libpth. It is used by Digital Unix 4.0.

11110 Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl
11111 5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules.
11113 Bugs found in pod2man
11115 The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
11117 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
11118 treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
11119 rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
11120 around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
11121 remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
11122 can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
11123 without breaking links.]
11125 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
11126 of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
11127 \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
11128 having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
11130 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
11131 by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
11133 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
11134 from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
11136 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
11137 confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
11138 with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
11139 of basic functions."'.
11141 Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
11142 modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

11169 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
11170 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
11171 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
11172 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
11173 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
11174 this should not introduce any insecurity.

11205 Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
11207 The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
11208 has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
11209 re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
11210 considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
11211 its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
11212 then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

11217 First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
11218 miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the
11219 library and the creation of Makefiles for the extensions didn't
11220 work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

11308 I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used

11310 I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
11311 needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
11312 hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.

11724 Subject: Patch: Untaint FH flag and clean DATA handles
11726 This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles
11727 on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given
11728 file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on.
11729 There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag
11730 before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same
11731 reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on
11732 on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA
11733 pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so
11734 this should not introduce any insecurity.
11736 This patch *does not*:
11738 * Add the "untaint" keyword.

11785 h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying

11848 This patch just changed the old s2p.man page into a pod page.
11849 I then embedded the pod into the s2p script.
11856 This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
11857 the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
11858 A very brief summary is:
11860 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
11862 -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
11864 -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
11865 than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
11866 systems, but should be correct now.
11868 -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
11869 Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
11870 order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
11873 o Configure and build enhancements
11875 -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
11876 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
11877 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
11879 -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
11880 the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
11881 ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
11882 supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
11887 -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
11888 prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
11892 -debugger ought to work.
11894 -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
11895 5.003_04 from working most places.
11897 -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
11901 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
11903 # This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04
11904 # The full description is below.
11905 # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
11906 # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)
11907 # -- Andy Dougherty
11909 # We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it
11912 chmod +x t/io/read.t
11917 This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04.
11918 This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05.
11920 To apply this patch, run the above commands,
11921 cd to your perl source directory and then type
11923 patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
11925 The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
11926 designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
11928 csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
11932 Updated for 5.003_05.
11936 Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs.
11938 Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10.
11940 Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
11941 as older 'domain' directive.
11943 Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
11944 BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
11945 [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
11947 Include -s in the -h summary of available options.
11949 Allow command-line override of $afs.
11951 Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10.
11953 Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to
11954 be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
11956 When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
11957 correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
11958 -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its
11959 -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are
11964 Correct libperl5 -> libperl typo.
11966 Describe MakeMaker's Warning (will try anyway) messages.
11968 More info on where and how to send reports.
11970 Add info on non-Unix ports.
11975 Add new test t/io/read.t.
11977 Add new hints files for ODBM_File for ultrix and hpux.
11979 Add new pod checker script.
11983 A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH needs to be quoted.
11985 shrpenv stuff moved to Configure.

12442 has a chance to ignore the alarm signal.

12568 the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
12569 A very brief summary is:
12571 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
12573 -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
12575 -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
12576 it's in the same category as `` and system().
12578 o Configure and build enhancements
12580 -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
12581 -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
12582 Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
12583 probably what was intended.
12584 -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
12588 -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed.
12589 -Ilya's debugger patch.
12590 -FAKE typeglobs fixed.
12591 -truncate with file name now works.
12592 -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs
12593 -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes.
12594 -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__.
12598 Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

12687 Change /*#define../**/ into /*#define../ **/

12733 Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
12735 Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
12736 should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
12737 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
12738 symbols the complete set of
12739 /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
12740 those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
12741 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
12742 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
12743 changed appropriately.
12745 The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
12746 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
12747 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.

12809 Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
12810 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't

12846 Here's a patch that undoes the damage, makes it work with
12847 C<use strict;>, and adds to the testsuite.

12873 Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
12875 Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
12876 should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
12877 previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
12878 symbols the complete set of
12879 /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
12880 those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
12881 Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
12882 and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
12883 changed appropriately.
12885 The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
12886 limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
12887 works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.
12889 Add notes on perl's internal types, specifically Quad_t and IV.
12893 Removes an incorrect prototype for setlinebuf from
12894 perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in
12895 MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well).
12897 Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
12898 HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
12899 manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
12900 different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit

12996 Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
12998 When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
12999 Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks
13000 destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive
13003 This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
13004 method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.
13005 It has no effect on normal operation.
13008 Add comment about assert(len >=0) when len is unsigned anyway.
13012 Subject: Re: truncate with file name does not work (with patch)
13014 The prototype for truncate was changed so that perl won't die

13028 in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't

13096 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
13098 -Support for tied filehandles.
13100 o Configure enhancements
13102 -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented
13103 and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms.
13107 -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
13109 -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
13110 that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps.
13112 -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
13114 -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time

13192 Add search for gzip and zip.
13194 Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
13195 Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
13197 Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
13198 for how this is supposed to work. The default is
13199 still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
13200 any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
13202 Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
13203 (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
13206 Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
13207 _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
13209 New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
13210 libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
13211 Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
13213 Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
13215 Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
13216 $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
13217 choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
13220 Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
13221 it with 'cp' if necessary.

13230 Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
13233 Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
13235 Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
13236 tests. Note whether memmove is available.
13238 Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
13241 Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
13245 Add note about space requirements.
13247 Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
13248 useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
13250 Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
13252 Miscellaneous clarifications.
13256 Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
13257 due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;
13258 I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST.
13262 Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
13264 Use new $make_set_make directive.
13266 Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
13268 Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
13270 Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
13271 well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
13272 miniperl in the first place!

13286 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.
13287 Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new
13288 dependencies in the metaconfig units.
13292 Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH.

13296 Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB,
13297 SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the
13298 ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
13299 is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.
13303 Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h>

13352 Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.

13407 Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and
13408 Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead.
13410 Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures.
13412 Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
13413 cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
13414 the -arch stuff from cppflags.)

13707 - Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}.
13708 - UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method.
13710 o Changes in Core Internals
13711 - PerlIO abstraction added.
13712 Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO
13713 mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros.
13714 Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or
13715 to use sfio if available.

13748 Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
13749 version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
13750 kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
13751 library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
13752 significant revisions, summarized below:
13754 o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
13756 - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
13757 the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
13758 and several common extensions are working.
13760 - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
13761 the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
13762 class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
13764 - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
13765 variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
13766 variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
13767 inaccessible by its name.
13769 - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
13770 checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
13771 can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
13773 - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
13774 produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
13775 exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
13777 - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
13778 an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
13779 side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
13780 well as an alphabetic character.
13782 - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
13783 -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
13786 o Changes in Core Internals
13788 - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
13790 - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
13791 optimized at compile time into inline constants.
13793 - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
13794 conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
13795 to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
13798 - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
13799 stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
13800 present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
13803 - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
13804 in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
13806 - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
13807 array has been made safer.
13809 - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
13810 with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
13811 Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
13812 previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
13813 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
13814 namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
13815 so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
13816 After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
13819 - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
13820 optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
13821 which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
13822 conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
13823 chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
13824 the case in Perl programs.
13826 - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
13827 multiple interpreters have been fixed.
13829 o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
13831 - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
13832 access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
13833 distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
13834 Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
13837 - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
13838 oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
13839 standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
13840 for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
13841 subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
13842 class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
13843 rather than FileHandle.
13845 - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
13846 of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
13847 applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
13849 - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
13850 for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
13851 has been added to the standard distribution.
13853 - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
13854 to the currently executing program, has been added to the
13855 standard distribution.
13857 - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
13858 Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
13859 have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
13861 - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
13862 determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
13864 - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
13866 - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
13867 provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
13868 making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
13869 to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
13871 - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
13872 can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
13874 - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
13876 o Changes in Documentation
13878 - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
13879 documentation for the core and standard library files
13881 - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
13883 - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
13884 extensively revised.
13886 o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
13888 - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
13889 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
13891 - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
13892 options for building a.out binaries.
13894 - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
13895 processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of
13896 carriage control interpretation for record-structured files,
13897 improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of
13898 VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance
13899 in line-oriented reading of files.
13901 - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
13902 convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
13903 irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
13904 next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
13905 sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
13907 - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set
13908 of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation
13909 they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
