Bug in Safe 2.21 re propagating exceptions
An exception thrown from a closure gets lost.
I've boiled it down to this:
perl -MSafe -e 'Safe->new->reval(q{sub { die @_ }})->(qq{ok\n})'
That should die with "ok".
The problem is that the closure that wraps any returned code ref if
threads are enabled is acting as an eval block so hiding the exception.

[perl #72590] Panic if 'use strict' and forget 'my'
That bug happens when we detect a compilation error in the statement
being parsed, and when the continuation of the parsing of that same
statement needs to load the file unicore/Name.pl via charnames.pm.
In that case perl gets confused, fails to parse Name.pl because
the parser is already in error, and also fails to properly rewind
to a normal error-reporting state.
This patch does not attempt to fix the whole error-reporting process;
instead, it simply prevents perl from trying to load charnames if it has
already recorded a parse error. So, in a way, it hides the bug under
the carpet. However, this is a safe fix, suitable for a code-freeze
stage.

Fix for non-regexps being upgraded to SVt_REGEXP
$ ./perl -lwe '$a = ${qr//}; $a = 2; print re::is_regexp(\$a)'
1
It is possible for arbitrary SVs (eg PAD entries) to be upgraded to
SVt_REGEXP. (This is new with first class regexps)
Whilst the example above does not SEGV, it will be possible to write
code that will cause SEGVs (or worse) at the point when the scalar is freed,
because the code in sv_clear() assumes that all scalars of type
SVt_REGEXP *are* regexps, and passes them to pregfree2(), which assumes that
pointers within are valid.

Improvements to 31c9a3 - CPAN code did depend on the previous behaviour of blessing filehandles into FileHandle
It turns out that it's not quite as simple as blessing into IO::File.
If you do (just) that, then it breaks any existing code that does
C<require IO::Handle;> to allow it to call methods on file handles,
because they're blessed into IO::File, which isn't loaded. (Note this code
doesn't assume that methods in IO::Seekable are there to be called)
So, it all should work if you also set @IO::File:::ISA correctly?
That way, code that assumes that methods from IO::Handle can be called will
work. However, gv.c now starts complaining (but not failing) if IO::Handle,
IO::Seekable and Exporter aren't present, because it goes looking for
methods in them.
So the solution seems to be to set @IO::File::ISA *and* create (empty)
stashes for the other 3 packages. Patch appended, but not applied.

Found the bug, patch attached.
v_tm_tday is an NV, so casting time to an integer will cause an overflow
2**31 days after 1970 or somewhere between 2**47 and 2**48. Not sure why the
compiler didn't warn about that.
This makes it work until the year overflows.
As for putting in a warning, there's two options:
1) A few days before the 32 bit year overflows.
2) At some reasonable point before there's too much floating point inaccuracy.
The possibility of long doubles will make #2 difficult to nail down, but I'll
be happy with +/- 2**53.
