Clarify warning that e.g. \q is reserved
Currently the meaning of e.g. \q is simply 'q', with a warning
generated. Elsewhere it is documented that this means that \q is
thus a reserved term, available for Perl to co-opt in some future
release. But the warning doesn't say that. Clarify it.

Bug fixes:
- When the currently running Module::Build is not the same as the one

run for an earlier distribution. [David Golden, on advice of Matt Trout]
Other:
- t/bundle_inc.t fails in odd ways. This test of an experimental feature
should not prevent users from installing Module::Build, so this test
now skips unless $ENV{MB_TEST_EXPERIMENTAL} is true

Fix for #71254: SEGV in Data::Dumper
This was caused by change 27323/
f7877b281b4, which changes the way
globs are stored in SVs. This patch teaches Perl_magic_setmglob (which
resets the match position after an assignment) about globs. What was
happening was that the globness was turned off (with the type still as
PVGV), which essentially turned the variable into a strange empty
string. Data::Dumper, seeing a PVGV, assumes the string form is at
least 1 char (which should always be the case), and ends up reading
past the end of the string if it is blank.

I have also a fix for the GDBM problem.
Now GDBM is only disabled if the "problem" headers are installed,

[perl #72098] File::Copy stripping 06000 perms on cp for root
The problem is with the use of cp when perms & 06000.
There is logic that checks to see if the target file is owned by the
user ($>) running the copy and/or if $> is a member of the group that
owns the target file. If this is not the case, then the 06000 bits are
masked out before the chmod is called after the copy.
This is mostly good logic except when root is executing this, in which
case root should get to do whatever it wants to do.
Looking closer at the code to test for group membership, I think it can
be more easily and more cheaply be written using $). I've added this
change to the patch.
This will also fix the problem where someone has a group membership
based on /etc/passwd and is not mentioned in /etc/group.

Omnibus strict and lax version parsing
Authors: John Peacock, David Golden and Zefram
The goal of this mega-patch is to enforce strict rules for version
numbers provided to 'package NAME VERSION' while formalizing the prior,
lax rules used for version object creation. Parsing for use() is
unchanged.
version.pm adds two globals, $STRICT and $LAX, containing regular
expressions that define the rules. There are two additional functions
-- version::is_strict and version::is_lax -- that test an argument
against these rules.
However, parsing of strings that might contain version numbers is done
in core via the Perl_scan_version function, which may be called during
compilation or may be called later when version objects are created by
Perl_new_version or Perl_upg_version.
A new helper function, Perl_prescan_version, has been added to validate
a string under either strict or lax rules. This is used in toke.c for
'package NAME VERSION' in strict mode and by Perl_scan_version in lax
mode. It matches the behavior of the verison.pm regular expressions,
but does not use them directly.
A new test file, comp/packagev.t, validates strict and lax behaviors of
'package NAME VERSION' and 'version->new(VERSION)' respectively and
verifies their behavior against the $STRICT and $LAX regular
expressions, as well. Validating these two implementation should help
ensure they each work as intended.
Other files and tests have been modified as necessary to support these
changes.
There is remaining work to be done in a few areas:
* documenting all changes in behavior and new functions
* determining proper treatment of "," as decimal separators in
various locales
* updating diagnostics for new error messages
* porting changes back to the version.pm distribution on CPAN,
including pure-Perl versions

Tom Christiansen's perlfunc cleansing, part 2
From "PATCH: perlfunc cleanup, part 2" (28574.
1263366404@chthon)
Quite a lot here, I know.
I probably spent the most time on pack(), as you'll see, but there are
plenty of rephrasings of awkward wordings plus the occasional orthographic
fix scattered throughout. I've added a few more examples here and there,
and certain simple things like perl vs Perl have been set to canonical form.
I've eyeballed the diffs for my own typos, and I've looked at the whole
thing after running it both through nroff (not so pretty, but better) and
also through troff (*much* better).
I didn't try to make sure all code inserts were indented the same number of
spaces, not because it doesn't need being done, but because I didn't want
to blow this patch up that much more than it already is. You can see the
