If you'd like more detailed information, +please consult the comments in the patches on which the relevant +release of Perl is based. (Patches can be found on any CPAN +site, in the .../src/5.0 directory for full version releases, +or in the .../src/5/0/unsupported directory for sub-version +releases.) - References. See t/op/ref.t for examples. All entities in Perl 5 are - reference counted so that it knows when each item should be destroyed. - Objects. See t/op/ref.t for examples. + --------------- + CAST AND CREW + --------------- - => is now a synonym for comma. This is useful as documentation for - arguments that come in pairs, such as initializers for associative arrays, - or named arguments to a subroutine. +To give due honor to those who have made Perl 5.004 what is is today, +here are some of the more common names in the Changes file, and their +current addresses (as of March 1997): - All functions have been turned into list operators or unary operators, - meaning the parens are optional. Even subroutines may be called as - list operators if they've already been declared. + Gisle Aas + Kenneth Albanowski + Graham Barr + Spider Boardman + Tom Christiansen + Hallvard B Furuseth + M. J.

Virden + Ilya Zakharevich - More embeddible. See main.c and embed_h.SH. Multiple interpreters - in the same process are supported (though not with interleaved - execution yet). +And the Keepers of the Patch Pumpkin: - The interpreter is now flattened out. Compare Perl 4's eval.c with - the perl 5's pp.c. Compare Perl 4's 900 line interpreter loop in cmd.c - with Perl 5's 1 line interpreter loop in run.c. Eventually we'll make - everything non-blocking so we can interface nicely with a scheduler. + Charles Bailey + Tim Bunce + Andy Dougherty + Chip Salzenberg - eval is now treated more like a subroutine call. Among other things, - this means you can return from it. - Format value lists may be spread over multiple lines by enclosing in - curlies. +---------------- +Version 5.004_04 Maintenance release 4 for 5.004 +---------------- - You may now define BEGIN and END subroutines for each package. The BEGIN - subroutine executes the moment it's parsed. The END subroutine executes - just before exiting. +"1. Out of clutter, find simplicity. + 2. From discord, find harmony. + 3. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." + -- Albert Einstein, three rules of work - Flags on the #! line are interpreted even if the script wasn't - executed directly. (And even if the script was located by "perl -x"!) - The ?: operator is now legal as an lvalue. + HEADLINES FOR THIS MAINTENANCE RELEASE - List context now propagates to the right side of && and ||, as well - as the 2nd and 3rd arguments to ?:. + Fixed gaps in tainting (readdir, readlink, gecos, bit vector ops). + Fixed memory leak in splice(@_). + Fixed debugger core dumps. + IO::Socket now sets autoflush by default. + Several perldoc bugs fixed, now faster and more helpful. + Fixed Win32 handle leak. + Many other improvements to Win32 support. + Many many other bug fixes and enhancements. - The "defined" function can now take a general expression. - Lexical scoping available via "my". eval can see the current lexical - variables. + ------ BUILD PROCESS ------ - Saying "package;" requires explicit package name on global symbols. + Title: "ExtUtils::Liblist prints diagnostics to STDOUT (vs. STDERR)" + From: Andy Dougherty , jesse@ginger + (Jesse Glick) + Msg-ID: <199708290032.UAA15663@ginger>, + + Files: MANIFEST lib/ExtUtils/Liblist.pm - The preferred package delimiter is now :: rather than '. + Title: "Set LD_RUN_PATH when building suidperl" + From: Chip Salzenberg , Tony Sanders + + Msg-ID: <199708272226.QAA10206@austin.bsdi.com> + Files: Makefile.SH - tie/untie are now preferred to dbmopen/dbmclose.
