Podify the social contract about contributed modules

15 years agoperlvar $1 clarification
Smylers [Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:14:46 +0000]
perlvar $1 clarification

$1 is currently documented as being set by the "last pattern match".
But it is left alone by unsuccessful pattern match attempts (continuing
to hold a value from an earlier successful match).

Saying "last successful pattern match" clarifies this; it's also the
phrase used to document $&.

Second, the entry for $1 in perlvar doesn't actually contain the text
"$1" anywhere.  As such, doing man perlvar then using /\$1 to search for
it in less doesn't locate it (though does match other places in that
file where $1 happens to be used).

15 years agoChange S_ckwarn_common() to looping over the packed warning value.
Nicholas Clark [Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:01:52 +0000]
Change S_ckwarn_common() to looping over the packed warning value.

The core never uses WARN3() or WARN4(), and rarely uses WARN2(), so the
previous code, effectively an unwrapped loop, wasn't a speed up. Functionally
equivalent smaller code fits better into CPU caches.

Nicholas Clark [Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:05:49 +0000]
Replace Perl_deprecate() with a macro that calls Perl_ck_warner()

Perl_deprecate was not part of the public API, and did not have a deprecate()

Nicholas Clark [Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:37:35 +0000]
Remove category 'syntax' from 5 warnings that should just be in 'deprecated'.

None were documented as also being in 'syntax'. Effectively, this completes the

15 years agoRemove Test-Simple's 00compile.t from core
Steve Hay [Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:21:05 +0000]
Remove Test-Simple's 00compile.t from core

It required a hand-edited version of Test-Simple's MANIFEST due to the
exclusion of a .pm file from core, but we shouldn't have edited versions
of CPAN files in core. The presence of the MANIFEST file also caused
warnings from the Makefile.PL due to other files being excluded from core,
so rather than further editing of the MANIFEST it is simplest to just
remove it and the test that requires it.

Replace ckWARN_d{,2,3,4}() && Perl_warner() with it, which trades reduced code

Nicholas Clark [Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:06:20 +0000]

Craig A. Berry [Sun, 11 Oct 2009 22:56:23 +0000]
Try for smarter (more portable) skip criteria in Encode's piconv.t.

We already differ from upstream, which skips when PERL_CORE is set.
Since we apparently think we can run it in core now, it seems like
we ought to sort out the proper skip criteria before sending it
upstream.

15 years agoNo longer need to skip t/comp/opsubs.t #22 on VMS.
Craig A. Berry [Sun, 11 Oct 2009 22:45:02 +0000]
No longer need to skip t/comp/opsubs.t #22 on VMS.

out from under us with 6b077bebea000af2a5477d50d7604bab33ee75c2.

MakeMaker::Test::Utils::perl_lib now copes with relative paths for core testing.

In the core, @INC already contains the moral equivalent of blib/lib. However,
it's a relative path (by default), so make it absolute. It's easier to KISS if
this is done *before* any change of directory, so document this, and change the
non-core case to add the absolute path of 'blib/lib' to @INC, rather than the

Exclude CGI/t/fast.t from the core, as it relies on FCGI, which is not in core.

Whilst the test is designed to skip if FCGI is not present, that logic is now
broken, and even if it were fixed, the as-implemented skip count is now wrong.
We're never going to run this test, as core tests run with just the core's

15 years agoMove the require './test.pl' to the end of t/comp/hints.t
Nicholas Clark [Fri, 9 Oct 2009 16:57:12 +0000]
Move the require './test.pl' to the end of t/comp/hints.t

Ideally tests in t/comp wouldn't use require, as require isn't tested yet, but
this test really needs runperl(), and really wants to live in t/comp/hints.t,
so place it at the end, so that any catestrophic failure only fails the last
test. We don't use any other functionality of t/test.pl

This test uses hard-coded test numbers, but I'm not convinced that it would be
correct to re-write it to use an automatically incrementing counter, as that
wouldn't fail in an obvious fashion if some compile-time blocks ran out of
order. What we have *will* fail in an informative fashion if compile time
blocks do not run correctly.

Add missing IO-Compress test file

The original IO-Compress patch:

http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2009-03/msg00293.html

omitted the file (but strangely included the entry "t/cz-03zlib-v1.t*" [sic]
in the MANIFEST file that it mistakenly included).

Also note in Maintainers.pl that IO-Compress is now in cpan/ not dist/,

MakeMaker testing in core runs from one level deeper than before.

So when we set up a dummy root for the tests on VMS, we need to
make it two levels above current rather than one in order to
