=head1 NAME
-perldelta - what's new for perl v5.6 (as of v5.5.58)
+perldelta - what's new for perl v5.6 (as of v5.005_58)
=head1 DESCRIPTION
+This is an unsupported alpha release, meant for intrepid Perl developers
+only. The included sources may not even build correctly on some platforms.
+Subscribing to perl5-porters is the best way to monitor and contribute
+to the progress of development releases (see www.perl.org for info).
+
This document describes differences between the 5.005 release and this one.
=head1 Incompatible Changes
=head2 Perl Source Incompatibilities
-None known at this time.
+TODO
=head2 C Source Incompatibilities
perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
+=item C<PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT>
+
+This new build option provides a set of macros for all API functions
+such that an implicit interpreter/thread context argument is passed to
+every API function. As a result of this, something like C<sv_setsv(foo,bar)>
+amounts to a macro invocation that actually translates to
+C<Perl_sv_setsv(my_perl,foo,bar)>. While this is generally expected
+to not have any significant source compatibility issues, the difference
+between a macro and a real function call will need to be considered.
+
+Note that the above issue is not relevant to the default build of
+Perl, whose interfaces continue to match those of prior versions
+(but subject to the other options described here).
+
+For testing purposes, the 5.005_58 release automatically enables
+PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT whenever Perl is built with -Dusethreads or
+-Dusemultiplicity.
+
=item C<PERL_POLLUTE_MALLOC>
Enabling Perl's malloc in release 5.005 and earlier caused
=head2 Binary Incompatibilities
-This release is not binary compatible with the 5.005 release or its
-maintenance versions.
+The default build of this release can be made binary compatible with the
+5.005 release or its maintenance versions. Add -DPERL_BINCOMPAT_5005
+to ccflags in config.sh to achieve this. See INSTALL for further
+information about adding build flags to config.sh.
+
+The usethreads or usemultiplicity builds are B<not> binary compatible
+with the corresponding builds in 5.005.
=head1 Core Changes
The new format type modifier '!' is useful for packing and unpacking
native shorts, ints, and longs. See L<perlfunc/"pack">.
+=head2 pack() and unpack() support counted strings
+
+The template character '#' can be used to specify a counted string
+type to be packed or unpacked. See L<perlfunc/"pack">.
+
=head2 $^X variables may now have names longer than one character
Formerly, $^X was synonymous with ${"\cX"}, but $^XY was a syntax
=over 4
+=item ByteLoader
+
+The ByteLoader is a dedication extension to generate and run
+Perl bytecode. See L<ByteLoader>.
+
+=item B
+
+The Perl Compiler suite has been extensively reworked for this
+release.
+
+=item Devel::DProf
+
+Devel::DProf, a Perl source code profiler has been added.
+
=item Dumpvalue
Added Dumpvalue module provides screen dumps of Perl data.
=head2 How do I remove HTML from a string?
-The most correct way (albeit not the fastest) is to use HTML::Parse
+The most correct way (albeit not the fastest) is to use HTML::Parser
from CPAN (part of the HTML-Tree package on CPAN).
Many folks attempt a simple-minded regular expression approach, like
# or print ASCII from HTML from a URL
# also need HTML-Tree package from CPAN
use LWP::Simple;
- use HTML::Parse;
+ use HTML::Parser;
use HTML::FormatText;
my ($html, $ascii);
