+=head1 NAME
+
+perl5101delta - what is new for perl v5.10.1
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes differences between the 5.10.0 release and
+the 5.10.1 release.
+
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.8.8, first read
+the L<perl5100delta>, which describes differences between 5.8.8 and
+5.10.0
+
+=head1 Incompatible Changes
+
+=head2 Switch statement changes
+
+The handling of complex expressions by the C<given>/C<when> switch
+statement has been enhanced. There are two new cases where C<when> now
+interprets its argument as a boolean, instead of an expression to be used
+in a smart match:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item flip-flop operators
+
+The C<..> and C<...> flip-flop operators are now evaluated in boolean
+context, following their usual semantics; see L<perlop/"Range Operators">.
+
+Note that, as in perl 5.10.0, C<when (1..10)> will not work to test
+whether a given value is an integer between 1 and 10; you should use
+C<when ([1..10])> instead (note the array reference).
+
+However, contrary to 5.10.0, evaluating the flip-flop operators in boolean
+context ensures it can now be useful in a C<when()>, notably for
+implementing bistable conditions, like in:
+
+ when (/^=begin/ .. /^=end/) {
+ # do something
+ }
+
+=item defined-or operator
+
+A compound expression involving the defined-or operator, as in
+C<when (expr1 // expr2)>, will be treated as boolean if the first
+expression is boolean. (This just extends the existing rule that applies
+to the regular or operator, as in C<when (expr1 || expr2)>.)
+
+=back
+
+The next section details more changes brought to the semantics to
+the smart match operator, that naturally also modify the behaviour
+of the switch statements where smart matching is implicitly used.
+
+=head2 Smart match changes
+
+=head3 Changes to type-based dispatch
+
+The smart match operator C<~~> is no longer commutative. The behaviour of
+a smart match now depends primarily on the type of its right hand
+argument. Moreover, its semantics have been adjusted for greater
+consistency or usefulness in several cases. While the general backwards
+compatibility is maintained, several changes must be noted:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+Code references with an empty prototype are no longer treated specially.
+They are passed an argument like the other code references (even if they
+choose to ignore it).
+
+=item *
+
+C<%hash ~~ sub {}> and C<@array ~~ sub {}> now test that the subroutine
+returns a true value for each key of the hash (or element of the
+array), instead of passing the whole hash or array as a reference to
+the subroutine.
+
+=item *
+
+Due to the commutativity breakage, code references are no longer
+treated specially when appearing on the left of the C<~~> operator,
+but like any vulgar scalar.
+
+=item *
+
+C<undef ~~ %hash> is always false (since C<undef> can't be a key in a
+hash). No implicit conversion to C<""> is done (as was the case in perl
+5.10.0).
+
+=item *
+
+C<$scalar ~~ @array> now always distributes the smart match across the
+elements of the array. It's true if one element in @array verifies
+C<$scalar ~~ $element>. This is a generalization of the old behaviour
+that tested whether the array contained the scalar.
+
+=back
+
+The full dispatch table for the smart match operator is given in
+L<perlsyn/"Smart matching in detail">.
+
+=head3 Smart match and overloading
+
+According to the rule of dispatch based on the rightmost argument type,
+when an object overloading C<~~> appears on the right side of the
+operator, the overload routine will always be called (with a 3rd argument
+set to a true value, see L<overload>.) However, when the object will
+appear on the left, the overload routine will be called only when the
+rightmost argument is a simple scalar. This way distributivity of smart match
+across arrays is not broken, as well as the other behaviours with complex
+types (coderefs, hashes, regexes). Thus, writers of overloading routines
+for smart match mostly need to worry only with comparing against a scalar,
+and possibly with stringification overloading; the other common cases
+will be automatically handled consistently.
+
+C<~~> will now refuse to work on objects that do not overload it (in order
+to avoid relying on the object's underlying structure). (However, if the
+object overloads the stringification or the numification operators, and
+if overload fallback is active, it will be used instead, as usual.)
+
+=head2 Other incompatible changes
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+The semantics of C<use feature :5.10*> have changed slightly.
+See L<"Modules and Pragmata"> for more information.
+
+=item *
+
+It is now a run-time error to use the smart match operator C<~~>
+with an object that has no overload defined for it. (This way
+C<~~> will not break encapsulation by matching against the
+object's internal representation as a reference.)
+
+=item *
+
+The version control system used for the development of the perl
+interpreter has been switched from Perforce to git. This is mainly an
+internal issue that only affects people actively working on the perl core;
+but it may have minor external visibility, for example in some of details
+of the output of C<perl -V>. See L<perlrepository> for more information.
+
+=item *
+
+The internal structure of the C<ext/> directory in the perl source has
+been reorganised. In general, a module C<Foo::Bar> whose source was
+stored under F<ext/Foo/Bar/> is now located under F<ext/Foo-Bar/>. Also,
+some modules have been moved from F<lib/> to F<ext/>. This is purely a
+source tarball change, and should make no difference to the compilation or
+installation of perl, unless you have a very customised build process that
+explicitly relies on this structure, or which hard-codes the C<nonxs_ext>
+F<Configure> parameter. Specifically, this change does not by default
+alter the location of any files in the final installation.
+
+=item *
+
+As part of the C<Test::Harness> 2.x to 3.x upgrade, the experimental
+C<Test::Harness::Straps> module has been removed.
+See L</"Updated Modules"> for more details.
+
+=item *
+
+As part of the C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> upgrade, the
+C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes> and C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish> modules
+have been removed from this distribution.
+
+=item *
+
+C<Module::CoreList> no longer contains the C<%:patchlevel> hash.
+
+=item *
+
+This one is actually a change introduced in 5.10.0, but it was missed
+from that release's perldelta, so it is mentioned here instead.
+
+A bugfix related to the handling of the C</m> modifier and C<qr> resulted
+in a change of behaviour between 5.8.x and 5.10.0:
+
+ # matches in 5.8.x, doesn't match in 5.10.0
+ $re = qr/^bar/; "foo\nbar" =~ /$re/m;
+
+=back
+
+=head1 Core Enhancements
+
+=head2 Unicode Character Database 5.1.0
+
+The copy of the Unicode Character Database included in Perl 5.10.1 has
+been updated to 5.1.0 from 5.0.0. See
+L<http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/#NotableChanges> for the
+notable changes.
+
+=head2 A proper interface for pluggable Method Resolution Orders
+
+As of Perl 5.10.1 there is a new interface for plugging and using method
+resolution orders other than the default (linear depth first search).
+The C3 method resolution order added in 5.10.0 has been re-implemented as
+a plugin, without changing its Perl-space interface. See L<perlmroapi> for
+more information.
+
+=head2 The C<overloading> pragma
+
+This pragma allows you to lexically disable or enable overloading
+for some or all operations. (Yuval Kogman)
+
+=head2 Parallel tests
+
+The core distribution can now run its regression tests in parallel on
+Unix-like platforms. Instead of running C<make test>, set C<TEST_JOBS> in
+your environment to the number of tests to run in parallel, and run
+C<make test_harness>. On a Bourne-like shell, this can be done as
+
+ TEST_JOBS=3 make test_harness # Run 3 tests in parallel
+
+An environment variable is used, rather than parallel make itself, because
+L<TAP::Harness> needs to be able to schedule individual non-conflicting test
+scripts itself, and there is no standard interface to C<make> utilities to
+interact with their job schedulers.
+
+Note that currently some test scripts may fail when run in parallel (most
+notably C<ext/IO/t/io_dir.t>). If necessary run just the failing scripts
+again sequentially and see if the failures go away.
+
+=head2 DTrace support
+
+Some support for DTrace has been added. See "DTrace support" in F<INSTALL>.
+
+=head2 Support for C<configure_requires> in CPAN module metadata
+
+Both C<CPAN> and C<CPANPLUS> now support the C<configure_requires> keyword
+in the C<META.yml> metadata file included in most recent CPAN distributions.
+This allows distribution authors to specify configuration prerequisites that
+must be installed before running F<Makefile.PL> or F<Build.PL>.
+
+See the documentation for C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> or C<Module::Build> for more
+on how to specify C<configure_requires> when creating a distribution for CPAN.

+=head1 Modules and Pragmata
+
+=head2 New Modules and Pragmata
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<autodie>
+
+This is a new lexically-scoped alternative for the C<Fatal> module.
+The bundled version is 2.06_01. Note that in this release, using a string
+eval when C<autodie> is in effect can cause the autodie behaviour to leak
+into the surrounding scope. See L<autodie/"BUGS"> for more details.
+
+=item C<Compress::Raw::Bzip2>
+
+This has been added to the core (version 2.020).
+
+=item C<parent>
+
+This pragma establishes an ISA relationship with base classes at compile
+time. It provides the key feature of C<base> without the feature creep.
+
+=item C<Parse::CPAN::Meta>
+
+This has been added to the core (version 1.39).

+The Unicode F<NameAliases.txt> database file has been added. This has the

+=item C<constant>
+
+Upgraded from version 1.13 to 1.17.
+
+=item C<feature>
+
+The meaning of the C<:5.10> and C<:5.10.X> feature bundles has
+changed slightly. The last component, if any (i.e. C<X>) is simply ignored.
+This is predicated on the assumption that new features will not, in
+general, be added to maintenance releases. So C<:5.10> and C<:5.10.X>
+have identical effect. This is a change to the behaviour documented for
+5.10.0.

+be extracted from the git version control system.
+
+The file F<Porting/patching.pod> has been deleted, as it mainly described
+interacting with the old Perforce-based repository, which is now obsolete.
+Information still relevant has been moved to L<perlrepository>.

+
+=head1 Installation and Configuration Improvements
+
+=head2 F<ext/> reorganisation
+
+The layout of directories in F<ext> has been revised. Specifically, all
+extensions are now flat, and at the top level, with C</> in pathnames
+replaced by C<->, so that F<ext/Data/Dumper/> is now F<ext/Data-Dumper/>,
+etc. The names of the extensions as specified to F<Configure>, and as
+reported by C<%Config::Config> under the keys C<dynamic_ext>,
+C<known_extensions>, C<nonxs_ext> and C<static_ext> have not changed, and
+still use C</>. Hence this change will not have any affect once perl is
+installed. However, C<Attribute::Handlers>, C<Safe> and C<mro> have now
+become extensions in their own right, so if you run F<Configure> with
+options to specify an exact list of extensions to build, you will need to
+change it to account for this.
+
+For 5.10.2, it is planned that many dual-life modules will have been moved
+from F<lib> to F<ext>; again this will have no effect on an installed
+perl, but will matter if you invoke F<Configure> with a pre-canned list of
+extensions to build.
+
+=head2 Configuration improvements
+
+If C<vendorlib> and C<vendorarch> are the same, then they are only added to
+C<@INC> once.
+
+C<$Config{usedevel}> and the C-level C<PERL_USE_DEVEL> are now defined if
+perl is built with C<-Dusedevel>.
+
+F<Configure> will enable use of C<-fstack-protector>, to provide protection
+against stack-smashing attacks, if the compiler supports it.
+
+F<Configure> will now determine the correct prototypes for re-entrant
+functions, and for C<gconvert>, if you are using a C++ compiler rather
+than a C compiler.
+
+On Unix, if you build from a tree containing a git repository, the
+configuration process will note the commit hash you have checked out, for
+display in the output of C<perl -v> and C<perl -V>. Unpushed local commits
+are automatically added to the list of local patches displayed by
+C<perl -V>.
+
+=head2 Compilation improvements
+
+As part of the flattening of F<ext>, all extensions on all platforms are
+built by F<make_ext.pl>. This replaces the Unix-specific
+F<ext/util/make_ext>, VMS-specific F<make_ext.com> and Win32-specific
+F<win32/buildext.pl>.
+
+=head2 Platform Specific Changes
+
+=over 4
+
+=item AIX
+
+Removed F<libbsd> for AIX 5L and 6.1. Only flock() was used from F<libbsd>.
+
+Removed F<libgdbm> for AIX 5L and 6.1. The F<libgdbm> is delivered as an
+optional package with the AIX Toolbox. Unfortunately the 64 bit version
+is broken.
+
+Hints changes mean that AIX 4.2 should work again.
+
+=item Cygwin
+
+On Cygwin we now strip the last number from the DLL. This has been the
+behaviour in the cygwin.com build for years. The hints files have been
+updated.
+
+=item FreeBSD
+
+The hints files now identify the correct threading libraries on FreeBSD 7
+and later.
+
+=item Irix
+
+We now work around a bizarre preprocessor bug in the Irix 6.5 compiler:
+C<cc -E -> unfortunately goes into K&R mode, but C<cc -E file.c> doesn't.
+
+=item Haiku
+
+Patches from the Haiku maintainers have been merged in. Perl should now
+build on Haiku.
+
+=item MirOS BSD
+
+Perl should now build on MirOS BSD.
+
+=item NetBSD
+
+Hints now supports versions 5.*.

+Various changes from Stratus have been merged in.
+
+=item Symbian
+
+There is now support for Symbian S60 3.2 SDK and S60 5.0 SDK.
+
+=item Win32
+
+Improved message window handling means that C<alarm> and C<kill> messages
+will no longer be dropped under race conditions.
+
+=item VMS
+
+Reads from the in-memory temporary files of C<PerlIO::scalar> used to fail
+if C<$/> was set to a numeric reference (to indicate record-style reads).
+This is now fixed.
+
+VMS now supports C<getgrgid>.
+
+Many improvements and cleanups have been made to the VMS file name handling
+and conversion code.
+
+Enabling the C<PERL_VMS_POSIX_EXIT> logical name now encodes a POSIX exit
+status in a VMS condition value for better interaction with GNV's bash
+shell and other utilities that depend on POSIX exit values. See
+L<perlvms/"$?"> for details.

+
+Bitwise operations on references could crash the interpreter, e.g.
+C<$x=\$y; $x |= "foo"> [RT #54956].
+

+
+Patterns including alternation might be sensitive to the internal UTF-8
+representation, e.g.
+

+ my $utf8 = chr(192); utf8::upgrade($utf8);
+ $utf8 =~ /$byte|X}/i; # failed in 5.10.0
+
+=item *
+
+Within UTF8-encoded Perl source files (i.e. where C<use utf8> is in
+effect), double-quoted literal strings could be corrupted where a C<\xNN>,
+C<\0NNN> or C<\N{}> is followed by a literal character with ordinal value
+greater than 255 [RT #59908].
+

+
+In 5.10.0, the C<*> quantifier in patterns was sometimes treated as
+C<{0,32767}> [RT #60034, #60464]. For example, this match would fail:
+
+ ("ab" x 32768) =~ /^(ab)*$/
+

+
+C<shmget> was limited to a 32 bit segment size on a 64 bit OS [RT #63924].
+

+Using C<next> or C<last> to exit a C<given> block no longer produces a
+spurious warning like the following:

+=item *
+
+On Windows, C<'.\foo'> and C<'..\foo'> were treated differently than
+C<'./foo'> and C<'../foo'> by C<do> and C<require> [RT #63492].

+A race condition inside C<PerlIOStdio_close()> has been identified and
+fixed. This used to cause various threading issues, including SEGVs.
+
+=item *
+
+In C<unpack>, the use of C<()> groups in scalar context was internally

+=head1 Known Problems
+
+This is a list of some significant unfixed bugs, which are regressions
+from either 5.10.0 or 5.8.x.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+C<List::Util::first> misbehaves in the presence of a lexical C<$_>
+(typically introduced by C<my $_> or implicitly by C<given>). The variable
+which gets set for each iteration is the package variable C<$_>, not the
+lexical C<$_> [RT #67694].
+
+A similar issue may occur in other modules that provide functions which
+take a block as their first argument, like
+
+ foo { ... $_ ...} list
+
+=item *
+
+The C<charnames> pragma may generate a run-time error when a regex is
+interpolated [RT #56444]:
+
+ use charnames ':full';
+ my $r1 = qr/\N{THAI CHARACTER SARA I}/;
+ "foo" =~ $r1; # okay
+ "foo" =~ /$r1+/; # runtime error
+
+A workaround is to generate the character outside of the regex:
+
+ my $a = "\N{THAI CHARACTER SARA I}";
+ my $r1 = qr/$a/;
+
+=item *
+
+Some regexes may run much more slowly when run in a child thread compared
+with the thread the pattern was compiled into [RT #55600].

+=head1 Deprecations
+
+The following items are now deprecated.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+C<Switch> is buggy and should be avoided. From perl 5.11.0 onwards, it is
+intended that any use of the core version of this module will emit a
+warning, and that the module will eventually be removed from the core
+(probably in perl 5.14.0). See L<perlsyn/"Switch statements"> for its
+replacement.
+
+=item *
+
+C<suidperl> will be removed in 5.12.0. This provides a mechanism to
+emulate setuid permission bits on systems that don't support it properly.

+
+=head1 Acknowledgements
+
+Some of the work in this release was funded by a TPF grant.
+
+Nicholas Clark officially retired from maintenance pumpking duty at the
+end of 2008; however in reality he has put much effort in since then to
+help get 5.10.1 into a fit state to be released, including writing a
+considerable chunk of this perldelta.
+
+Steffen Mueller and David Golden in particular helped getting CPAN modules
+polished and synchronised with their in-core equivalents.
+
+Craig Berry was tireless in getting maint to run under VMS, no matter how
+many times we broke it for him.
+
+The other core committers contributed most of the changes, and applied most
+of the patches sent in by the hundreds of contributors listed in F<AUTHORS>.
+
+(Sorry to all the people I haven't mentioned by name).
+
+Finally, thanks to Larry Wall, without whom none of this would be
+necessary.
+
+=head1 Reporting Bugs
+
+If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles
+recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl
+bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be
+information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
+
+If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the B<perlbug>
+program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down
+to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the
+output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be
+analysed by the Perl porting team.
+
+If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
+inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send
+it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
+unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able
+to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
+co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
+platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
+security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently
+distributed on CPAN.
