It eliminates the + need for 'our $VERSION = ...' and similar constructs. E.g. + + package Foo::Bar 1.23; + # $Foo::Bar::VERSION == 1.23 + + There are several advantages to this: + + * VERSION is parsed in *exactly* the same way as 'use NAME VERSION' + + * $VERSION is set at compile time + + * Eliminates '$VERSION = ...' and 'eval $VERSION' clutter + + * As it requires VERSION to be a numeric literal or v-string + literal, it can be statically parsed by toolchain modules + without 'eval' the way MM->parse_version does for '$VERSION = ...' + + * Alpha versions with underscores do not need to be quoted; static + parsing will preserve the underscore, but during compilation, Perl + will remove underscores as it does for all numeric literals + + During development of this, there was discussion on #corehackers and + elsewhere that this should also allow other metadata to be set such as + "status" (stable/alpha) or "author/authority". On reflection, those + metadata are not very well defined yet and likely should never be + encoded into Perl core parsing so they can be freely changed in the + future. (They could perhaps be achieved via a comment on the same line + as 'package NAME VERSION'.) + + Version numbers, however, already have a very specific definition and + use defined in the core through 'use NAME VERSION'. This patch merely + provides appropriate symmetry for setting $VERSION with the exact same + parsing and semantics as 'use'. + + It does not break old code with only 'package NAME', but code that + uses 'package NAME VERSION' will need to be restricted to perl 5.11.X. + This is analogous to the change to open() from two-args to three-args. + Users requiring the latest Perl will benefit, and perhaps N years from + now it will become standard practice when Perl 5.12 is targeted the + way that 5.6 is today. + + The patch does not prevent 'package NAME VERSION' from being used + multiple times for the same package with different version numbers, but + nothing prevents $VERSION from being modified arbitrarily at runtime, + either, so I see no urgen reason to add limitations or warnings so + long as Perl uses a global $VERSION variable for package version + numbers. + + I am posting this patch to the p5p list for discussion and review. If + there seems to be general assent (or lack of dissent), I will go ahead + and commit the patch to blead. + +commit a67b1afafddaaed84e79a867acc888c9ccfb6460 +Author: Max Maischein +Date: Mon Oct 5 22:49:09 2009 +0200 + +New porting tests to automatically check POD in lib/, ext/ and pod/ + +commit 2d5f1d01166a325b29ccc86102d26e68def13786 +Author: David Golden +Date: Mon Oct 5 17:46:36 2009 -0400 + + Explain using git send-email for patches + + =item Update ExtUtils::ParseXS to 2.21 + + =item Upgrade File::Path to 2.08 (and add taint.t test) + +commit b2680017d861a93d2d51b07bce2f1731086bc8c3 +Author: Yves Orton +Date: Mon Oct 5 09:34:52 2009 +0200 + + in regexec.c move the BOUND logic out of the way of the special CC logic + + This is a first step towards macroizing the special CC handler logic so + it is easier to maintain them, for instance interestng optimisations are + being used in one, but not all, even though the logic is sharable.
