Jerry D. Hedden [Mon, 2 Feb 2009 21:25:38 +0000]
Make t/pod/pod2usage2.t work on case insensitive file systems.

pod_where() checks the current dir when looking for PODs
when the -dirs option is not specified.  Because of
case-insensitivity under Cygwin, this causes t/pod/usage.pod
to get found before lib/Pod/Usage.pm.

The fix is to set -dir=>[] in pod_where() when testing in
CORE under Cygwin.  The attached patch does this.

Rafael Garcia-Suarez [Mon, 2 Feb 2009 14:56:13 +0000]
When loading a PerlIO::via layer, first look in the PerlIO::via namespace

Previously an open "via(Foo)" was first looking for the Foo namespace,
then for PerlIO::via::Foo. That could cause loading problems if both Foo
and PerlIO::via::Foo namespaces existed, and when the latter was
required. The workaround of loading "via(PerlIO::via::Foo)" being rather
ugly, it's preferable to look first for the fully qualified namespace
in order to avoid side-effects depending of what namespaces are
instanciated in the interpreter.

character sets.

vms_fid_to_name() now understands stat/lstat for properly handling

consistency.  Will now optionally return the mode bits from the stat
operation.

Move the static/dynamic/nonxs LINKTYPE logic from make_ext.pl to Makefile.SH
This simplifies make_ext.pl considerably. Given that the first use of 'passthru'
was in 40000a8c37c35cc00114329ca0add46bca36a0ec in 1995, possibly we should have

Effectively $(CONFIGPM_EXTRA) becomes $(CONFIGPM) and $(CONFIGPM) becomes
$(CONFIGPM_FROM_CONFIG_SH). Mention lib/Config_heavy.pl as something that

The logic to set $makefile to 'Makefile.old' can't work, so remove it.
(Makefile.old is created by running make clean in an extension, and make clean

make_ext.pl. The Makefile.old logic was valid for the shell script version.

Revert "do_exec() is a mathom, so call its replacement directly"

The change breaks the build on Windows as this function is really

This reverts commit 06ba78de6df7f363272e855cc63710a634eb6100.

15 years agoMake t/win32/system.t use the more common compiler check
Max Maischein [Mon, 26 Jan 2009 20:49:22 +0000]
Make t/win32/system.t use the more common compiler check

Hello again,

much of the Perl test suite uses $Config{cc} =~ /^gcc/i to determine
whether the compiler looks/acts like gcc. This patch enables that
behaviour in t/win32/system.t too.

The reason behind this is that I have a batch file named gcc-ccache.cmd,
which I give to dmake as my compiler, and having things like this work
everywhere in Perl is nice.

Possibly, a more sane way of keeping the kind of compiler handy would be
to make $Config{CCTYPE} come into existence and have it store "gcc",
"msvc" and what other cc types we support.

Max Maischein [Sun, 25 Jan 2009 16:38:10 +0000]
Unbreak build on Windows

Hello p5p,

the recent shakearound of make_patchnum.pl broke the build on Windows,
because make_patchnum.pl lives in the build root, but the Makefile lives
in ./win32, so all targets need to be relative to ./win32.

I've only tested the patch for makefile.mk, as I don't have nmake.exe.
The fix is so simple that it should work on Makefile as well. These are
famous last words.

15 years agoMove cp(1)-like permission changes from copy to cp,
Charles Bailey [Sat, 24 Jan 2009 00:11:45 +0000]
Move cp(1)-like permission changes from copy to cp,

and add setid bit handling

- Moves the permission-changing code to File::Copy::cp(), making it
non-identical to File::Copy::copy().  I think this is a decent
compromise, retaining backwards compatibility in the "primary"
routine, while allowing people who chose cp() to get more POSIXy
semantics.  It does break backwards compatibility of cp() wrt
permissions.  I can find a handful of examples in CPAN, for which I
hope smokers will give some feedback.  As for the DARKpan, who knows .
. .

- Expands the permission changing in cp() a bit to cover the rest of
what cp(1) claims on the local POSIX box.

- Removes Fcntl from the mix, to eliminate some build-time hoops.

- Shifts Abigail's permission tests to cp(), and adds parallel tests for copy().

- Documents the permission-related behavior in more detail.
