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

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

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

- Title: "Fix ++/-- after int conversion (e.g. 'printf "%d"')"
- (This patch makes Perl correctly ignore SvIVX() if either
- NOK or POK is true, since SvIVX() may be a truncated or

-----------------
-Version 5.003_07
-----------------
-
-This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
-in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
-testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
-
-If it doesn't work for you, try
-
- LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
-
-for Bourne shell users, or
-
- setenv LC_ALL C
-
-for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
-problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
-as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
-
-The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
-
-o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-
- -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
- documentation on the 'w' option.
-
- -untaint support added to IO extension.
-
-o Changes in Core Internals
-
- -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
- as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
- with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
-
- -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
-
-o Configure and build enhancements
-
- -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
- they may be right.
-
- -OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
-
-o Bug fixes
-
- -print sort (4,1,3,2);
-
- -group numbers are integers again.
-
- -other things. See the specific changes for details.
-
-o Specific Changes
-
-Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
-
-Index: Changes
-
- Updated for 5.003_07.
-
- Fixed a spelling error.
-
-Index: Configure
-
- Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
- Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
- program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
- Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
- effect is little.
-
- Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
- Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
- or the other in the hints file for now.

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

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

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

-----------------
-Version 5.003_06
-----------------
-
-This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
-and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
-The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
-
-o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-
- -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
- locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
- Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
-
- -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
- backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
-
- -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
- %hash.
-
- -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
-
-o Changes in Core Internals
-
- -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
- versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
- as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
- gv_efullname3.
-
- -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
- as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
- with 5.003.
-
-o Configure and build enhancements
-
- -many new tests for the standard library.
-
- -test suite now locale-friendly.
-
- -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
-
-o Bug fixes
-
- -whitespace lexer errors fixed.
-
- -many, many other things. See details below.
-
-o Specific Changes
-
-Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
-
-# This is my patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl5.003_05

-This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05.
-This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06.
-
-To apply this patch, run the above commands,
-cd to your perl source directory and then type
-
- patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
-
-The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
-designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
-
- csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
-
-(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
-csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100
-files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.)

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

- It would IMHO be much better if the AutoLoader exported the AUTOLOAD()
- function. With an exported AUTOLOAD() we would not have to inherit
- from AutoLoader, and we would avoid these problems.
-
- This patch tries to explain the behavior of AutoLoader instead by
- updating its documentation.

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

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

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

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

-
- I've added some DEBUG_Ps to sv.c which give a trace of the
- fast I/O fiddling with stdio in sv_gets(). These were useful
- to me in setting up the VMS fast I/O, and I left them in in
- case they're useful to someone in the future. However, if you
- think it overloads -DP too much, feel free to drop it. (-DP
- already adds a profile of op usage to its advertised output.)

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

- Subject: Re: "Attempt to free non-existent shared string"? (with patch)
-
- I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
- to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
- I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
- needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
- hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
-
- Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
- The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
- flag.

-----------------
-Version 5.003_05
-----------------
-
-This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
-the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
-A very brief summary is:
-
-o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-
- -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
-
- -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
- than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
- systems, but should be correct now.
-
- -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
- Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
- order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
- the same.
-
-o Configure and build enhancements
-
- -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
- BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
- [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
-
- -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
- the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
- ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
- supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
- for embedders.)
-
- -VMS updates.
-
- -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
- prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
-
-o Bug fixes
-
- -debugger ought to work.
-
- -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
- 5.003_04 from working most places.
-
- -numerous smaller ones, detailed below.
-
-o Specific Changes
-
-Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
-
-# This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04
-# The full description is below.
-# Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
-# (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)

-
- Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs.
-
- Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10.
-
- Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
- as older 'domain' directive.
-
- Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
- BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
- [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
-
- Include -s in the -h summary of available options.
-
- Allow command-line override of $afs.
-
- Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10.
-
- Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to
- be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
-
- When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
- correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
- -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its
- -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are
- welcome.

- From: Gurusamy Sarathy
-
- Subject: debugger problems--another patch (was Re: 5.003_04)
-
- I have tried to avoid copying of hash keys that are passed to
- magical hashes, but it seems that copying may be unavoidable
- since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other
- SVs that may get reused) as keys.

-
- Fix installperl so that the -n option really only prints commands.
- (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
-
- an "ignore installed" option, so that it doesn't bother to check

-Index: lib/AnyDBM_File.pm
-
- AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
- Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
- order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
- the same.
-
-
- Add helpful "die" message to end of AnyDBM_File. Previously
- it would return a 0, and the failure would eventually show up
- somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is
- a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression
- suite is supposed to indicate this as a failure too.

-Index: lib/File/Find.pm
-
- From: Michael Mahan <mahanm@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu>
- Subject: Cwd::fastcwd in File::Find
-
- Is there a good reason why File::Find uses Cwd::fastcwd instead of
- Cwd:cwd when fastcwd isn't as portable?
- [In particular, fastcwd() doesn't work on AFS.]
-
-Index: lib/Math/Complex.pm
-
- There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that
- gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the
- argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too
- many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that
- calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2
- in this case.

- From: Roderick Schertler
- Subject: syslog.pl `use Socket' lossage
-
- syslog.pl tries but fails to use
- Socket.pm, the problem is that use doesn't return a true value. This
- module should be recast in terms of Sys::Syslog, of course.

-
-Index: mg.c
-
- Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem.
- I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually
- uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys
- to the vtbl_dbline handlers).
-
- Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
- the simple MgPVKEY macro.
-
- Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
- additional parens around the "mg".
-
- (lines near 584) Part of VMS changes. I don't know what this did.
-
- Date: Fri, 23 Aug 1996 17:20:22 -0400 (EDT)
- From: Chip Salzenberg
- Subject: Integerize mg.c; eliminate warning on C< local($)) >
-
- This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers
- (C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from
- C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!.

- Subject: Perl 5.003.03: race condition in t/lib/io_sock.t
-
- io_sock.t works by forking a subprocess it can communicate with.
- It has the subprocess wait for the main process by sleeping 10
- seconds or until an alarm arrives.
-
- With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child
- has a chance to ignore the alarm signal.
-
- I fixed this by moving the "$SIG{ALRM} = sub {};" up before the
- fork. It does not hurt to have the parent ignore alarms, too.

-
- Changes:
- a) Docs and examples for -x updated;
- b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h
- unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error
- there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I
- inside -F.
- c) .h file would be scanned only if needed.
- d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ).
- e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be
- included into POD.
- f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated;
- g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that
- xsubpp would probably choke on such guys).

-----------------
-Version 5.003_04
-----------------
-
-This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
-the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
-A very brief summary is:
-
-o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-
- -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
- IO::File::new.
- -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
- it's in the same category as `` and system().
-
-o Configure and build enhancements
-
- -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
- -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
- Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
- probably what was intended.
- -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
-
-o Bug fixes
-
- -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed.
- -Ilya's debugger patch.
- -FAKE typeglobs fixed.
- -truncate with file name now works.
- -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs
- -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes.
- -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__.
-
-o Specific Changes
-
-Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
-
-# This is my patch perl5.003_04.pat to perl5.003_03
-# The full description is below.
-# Please execute the following commands before applying this patch.
-# (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.)
-# -- Andy Dougherty
-
-# Obsolete perl4 hint file.
-rm -f hints/dnix.sh
-# Obsolete
-rm -f os2/notes

-# We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it
-# executable.

-This is patch perl5.003_04.pat to perl version 5.003_03.
-This takes you from 5.003_03 to 5.003_04.

-To apply this patch, run the above commands,
-cd to your perl source directory and then type
-

-The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
-designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
-

- of stupid warning messages. Thanks to Hallvard B Furuseth for the fix.

- Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
- should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
- previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
- symbols the complete set of
- /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
- those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
- Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
- and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
- changed appropriately.
-
- The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
- limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
- works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.
-
- Add notes on perl's internal types, specifically Quad_t and IV.

- Subject: FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
-
- Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
- in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
- so in 5.001n).
- The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
- which might coerce its first arg to a string.
-
- Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
- weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
- hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
- significant problem.)
-
- This patch changes neither behavior nor performance. However, it does
- reduce code size and improve maintainability by combining some common
- code in gv_fullname() and gv_efullname().

-Index: perlio.c
-
- Removes an incorrect prototype for setlinebuf from
- perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in
- MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well).
-
- Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
- HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
- manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
- different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit
- from testing...

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

- Add comment about assert(len >=0) when len is unsigned anyway.

-Version 5.003_03
-----------------
-
-Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation
-process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief
-summary is:
-
-o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-
- -Support for tied filehandles.
-
-o Configure enhancements
-
- -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented
- and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms.
-
-o Bug fixes
-
- -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
-
- -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
- that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps.
-
- -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
-
- -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time
- rather than extraction time.
-
-o Specific Changes
-
-Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
-
-# This is my patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl5.003_02

-This is patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl version 5.003_02.
-This takes you from 5.003_02 to 5.003_03.
-
-To apply this patch, run the above commands,
-cd to your perl source directory and then type
-
- patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_03.pat
-
-The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
-designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
-
- csplit -k perl5.003_03.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'

-Index: Configure
-
- Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines.
-
- Changed usesafe to useopcode.
-
- Add search for gzip and zip.
-
- Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
- Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
-
- Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
- for how this is supposed to work. The default is
- still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
- any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
-
- Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
- (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
- race conditions.)
-
- Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
- _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
-
- New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
- libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
- Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
-
- Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
-
- Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
- $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
- choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
- whatever).
-
- Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
- it with 'cp' if necessary.
-
- Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
- Ultrix output.
-
- Autodetect os2.
-
- Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
-
- Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
- error messages.
-
- Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
-
- Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
- tests. Note whether memmove is available.
-
- Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
- with -Xc).
-
- Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
-
-Index: INSTALL
-
- Add note about space requirements.
-
- Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
- useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
-
- Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
-
- Miscellaneous clarifications.
-
-Index: MANIFEST
-
- Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
- due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;

- well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
- miniperl in the first place!

- ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality
- is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now.

- Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead.
-
- Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures.
-
- Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
- cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
- the -arch stuff from cppflags.)
-
- Configure now knows next4 needs to use a shared libperl.5.so.
-

-
-
-----------------
-Version 5.003_01
-----------------
-
-Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
-version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
-kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
-library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
-significant revisions, summarized below:
-
-o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-
- - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
- the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
- and several common extensions are working.
-
- - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
- the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
- class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
-
- - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
- variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
- variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
- inaccessible by its name.
-
- - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
- checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
- can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
-
- - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
- produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
- exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
-
- - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
- an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
- side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
- well as an alphabetic character.
-
- - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
- -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
- output concise.
-
-o Changes in Core Internals
-
- - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
-
- - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
- optimized at compile time into inline constants.
-
- - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
- conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
- to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
- representations.
-
- - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
- stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
- present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
- program results.
-
- - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
- in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
-
- - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
- array has been made safer.
-
- - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
- with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
- Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
- previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
- 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
- namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
- so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
- After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
- between versions.
-
- - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
- optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
- which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
- conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
- chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
- the case in Perl programs.
-
- - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
- multiple interpreters have been fixed.
-
-o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
-
- - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
- access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
- distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
- Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
- available.
-
- - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
- oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
- standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
- for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
- subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
- class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
- rather than FileHandle.
-
- - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
- of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
- applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
-
- - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
- for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
- has been added to the standard distribution.
-
- - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
- to the currently executing program, has been added to the
- standard distribution.
-
- - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
- Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
- have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
-
- - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
- determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
-
- - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
-
- - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
- provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
- making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
- to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
-
- - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
- can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
-
- - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
-
-o Changes in Documentation
-
- - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
- documentation for the core and standard library files
-
- - Explanations of several core operators have been improved
-
- - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
- extensively revised.
-
-o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
-
- - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
- NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
-
- - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
- options for building a.out binaries.
-
- - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
- processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of
- carriage control interpretation for record-structured files,
- improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of
- VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance
- in line-oriented reading of files.
- - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
- convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
- irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
- next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
- sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
