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 and 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. - -Index: INSTALL - - Warn about re-using config.sh version-specific values. - -Index: MANIFEST - - Date: Tue, 8 Oct 1996 22:24:48 -0400 - From: "Randy J.

Myers" - Subject: Pod typos, pod2man bugs, and miscellaneous installation comments - - 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 for tips". [Fixed.] - - 3. 'L', 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. - -Index: pp_ctl.c - - Restore the 5.003 gv_fullname() and gv_efullname() functions. - Provide new 3-arg forms gv_fullname3() and gv_efullname3(). - - Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 22:03:00 +0300 - From: Jarkko Hietaniemi - Subject: LC_COLLATE. - - Big patch to add, document, and test LC_COLLATE support. - - sortcmp() sprouted a LC_COLLATE branch. - -Index: pp_hot.c - - Restore the 5.003 gv_fullname() and gv_efullname() functions. - Provide new 3-arg forms gv_fullname3() and gv_efullname3(). - - Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 11:58:22 -0400 - From: "Randy J.

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.

Virden + Ilya Zakharevich - Check for and for NetBSD. +And the Keepers of the Patch Pumpkin: - 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). + Charles Bailey + Tim Bunce + Andy Dougherty + Chip Salzenberg + Malcolm Beattie - Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate - it with 'cp' if necessary. +And, of course, the Author of Perl: - 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.

Since $mab isn't used anywhere - anymore, this is useless. However, $mab was never used for - next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality. - -Index: hints/next_4.sh - - Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and - 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.

The version in - 5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway.

Should we go back and put in changes for +_51 onwards?] ---------------- -Version 5.003_01 +Version 5.004_50 First developer release towards 5.005 ---------------- -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). +Maintenance of the 5.004 version of perl continues with the 5.004_xx +series, where 'xx' is <= 49. Development of the next version, 5.005, +starts with 5.004_50. - - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set - of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation - they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
