C<qr/\X/>, which matches a Unicode logical character, has been expanded to work
better with various Asian languages. It now is defined as an C<extended

- In this case my %x = %$x assigns a hash to itself. This causes the
- hv_clear in pp_aassign to wipe away the hash before it can be copied.
- The â\80\98panic: attempt to copy freed scalarâ\80\99 error is triggered by this
- line, which copies the value:
- sv_setsv(tmpstr,*relem); /* value */
-
- The solution is to make sure the OPpASSIGN_COMMON flag is on in such
- cases, so that pp_aassign copies everything before doing the assignment.

+=head1 Deprecations
- [perl #70764] $' fails to initialized for pre-compiled regular expression matches
-
- The match vars are associated with the regexp that last matched
- successfully. In the case of $str =~ $qr or /$qr/, since the $qr could
- be used in multiple scopes that need their own sets of match vars, the
- $qr is cloned by Perl_reg_temp_copy as of change 30677/28d8d7f. This
- happens in pp_regcomp before pp_match has stringified the LHS, hence the
- bug. In short, /$gror/ is not equivalent to
- ($which = !$which) ? /$gror/ : /$gror/, which is weird.

- moves the one remaining scope back to the root of the stack, effectively

-
- Ensure that pp_qr returns a new regexp SV each time. Resolves RT #69852.
-
- Instead of returning a(nother) reference to the (pre-compiled) regexp in the
- optree, use reg_temp_copy() to create a copy of it, and return a reference to
- that. This resolves issues about Regexp::DESTROY not being called in a timely
- fashion (the original bug tracked by RT #69852), as well as bugs related to
- blessing regexps, and of assigning to regexps, as described in correspondence
- added to the ticket.
-
- It transpires that we also need to undo the SvPVX() sharing when ithreads
- cloning a Regexp SV, because mother_re is set to NULL, instead of a cloned
- copy of the mother_re. This change might fix bugs with regexps and threads in
- certain other situations, but as yet neither tests nor bug reports have
- indicated any problems, so it might not actually be an edge case that it's
- possible to reach.

- mktables performance improvement
-
- The attached patch got the easiest performance improvements to mktables.
- Hopefully this is good enough for now.
-
- This involved:
-
- 1) Nicholas' patch
- 2) I stored complete_name instead of recomputing it each time.
- 3) Used $_[xxx] instead of shift in very heavily used subroutines
- 4) removed trace accidentally left in.
-
- I also changed the misspelled subroutine name discovered by Craig Berry.
- I searched for any other misspellings and didn't find any.
-
- Also removed trailing white space that keeps creeping back in, and now
- this doesn't generate pod entries if not outputting a pod file, and
- clarified warning message if no mktables.lst is present.
-
- I couldn't figure out a way to conditionally use 'no overloading', as
- it is called at compile time. So I just commented out the old stuff
- that will work for 5.8, with a note about using that if you want to
- use 5.8

- perl-5.11.2 breaks NYTProf savesrc option (Lexer API suspected)

-
- There's a bit more to it than that. The indexing was off-by-one for
- *some* places that process a new line, but correct for others, so the
- saved source as a whole was mangled rather than simply offset. Also,
- there were some redundant calls to update_debugger_info(), so some lines
- got saved twice, in some cases off-by-one for one saving and not for
- the other. The saved source is, therefore, hopelessly broken in 5.11.2.
-
- Attached patch fixes the source saving. Includes a new test, which works
- through all reachable places that source lines get saved. This should
- close RT #70804.

-
- Add code and starting perldoc for warnings::fatal_enabled.
-
- This is an analog for warnings::enabled, except it tests whether the
- given category has been set fatal using "use warnings FATAL => foo".
- This is mostly for symmetry.
-
- Assumes that the fatal bit for a category will have an offset one higher
- than the regular bit for the category, because otherwise much rewriting
- of __chk would be required.

-
- Always add a manifest resource to perl.exe to specify the <trustInfo>
- settings for Windows Vista and later. Without this setting Windows
- will treat perl.exe as a legacy application and apply various
- heuristics like redirecting access to protected file system areas
- (like the "Program Files" folder) to the users "VirtualStore"
- instead of generating a proper "permission denied" error.
-
- For VC8 and VC9 this manifest setting is automatically generated by
- the compiler/linker (together with the binding information for their
- respective runtime libraries); for all other compilers we need to
- embed the manifest resource explicitly in the external resource file.
-
- This change also requests the Microsoft Common-Controls version 6.0
- (themed controls introduced in Windows XP) via the dependency list
- in the assembly manifest. For VC8 and VC9 this is specified using the
- /manifestdependency linker commandline option instead.

- Given that FileHandle "is now a front-end to the IO::* classes" it seems

- * Note that unlink sets $! on failure.
-
- The docs to unlink didn't explicitly note that it set $! on
- failure, unlike the docs on some other system calls do.
-
- While I was in there, I cleansed the entry a little and
- added an example of unlinking files one-by-one to find
- the ones that fail.
-
- Modern Perl fix: let's call a glob a glob() and not a <*>.

- This problem was noted on the Perl Beginner's list:
