Revert "First shot at perl5159delta.pod"
This reverts commit 21ffc8459b739cc13a32f22a2edb7be485a062e0. Until I can figure out how to add a new perldelta and make all tests pass.

-=head1 NAME
-
-perldelta - what is new for perl v5.15.9
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This document describes differences between the 5.15.8 release and
-the 5.15.9 release.
-
-If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.15.7, first read
-L<perl5158delta>, which describes differences between 5.15.7 and
-5.15.8.
-
-=head1 Notice
-
-This space intentionally left blank.
-
-=head1 Core Enhancements
-
-=head2 C<< no feature; >> now means reset to default
-
-C<< no feature >> now resets to the default feature set. To disable all
-features (which is likely to be a pretty special-purpose request, since
-it presumably won't match any named set of semantics) you can now
-write C<< no feature ':all' >>.
-
-
-[ List each enhancement as a =head2 entry ]
-
-=head1 Security
-
-XXX Any security-related notices go here. In particular, any security
-vulnerabilities closed should be noted here rather than in the
-L</Selected Bug Fixes> section.
-
-[ List each security issue as a =head2 entry ]
-
-=head1 Incompatible Changes
-
-XXX For a release on a stable branch, this section aspires to be:
-
- There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.XXX.XXX
- If any exist, they are bugs, and we request that you submit a
- report. See L</Reporting Bugs> below.
-
-[ List each incompatible change as a =head2 entry ]
-
-=head1 Deprecations
-
-=head2 Literal C<< "{" >> characters in regular expressions.
-
-It has been documented that the current plans include requiring a
-literal C<< "{" >> to be escaped: 5.18 will emit deprecation warnings,
-and it will be required in 5.20.

-=head1 Modules and Pragmata
-
-XXX All changes to installed files in F<cpan/>, F<dist/>, F<ext/> and F<lib/>
-go here. If Module::CoreList is updated, generate an initial draft of the
-following sections using F<Porting/corelist-perldelta.pl>, which prints stub
-entries to STDOUT. Results can be pasted in place of the '=head2' entries
-below. A paragraph summary for important changes should then be added by hand.
-In an ideal world, dual-life modules would have a F<Changes> file that could be
-cribbed.

-F<< t/op/require_37033.t>> has been added, to test that C<require> always closes

-called (explicitly or implicitly) when C<STDIN> had been closed.

-I<Takri> is now considered a script that uses two characters. This corrects
-a Unicode 6.1 omission.
-
-=item *
-
-C<< perlfunc.hmtl >> is now being generated again. [perl #107870]
-
-=item *
-
-C<< $$ >> is no longer tainted. Since this value comes directly from
-C<< getpid() >>, it is always safe.
-
-=item *
-
-Fix leaking a file handle. [perl #37033]
-
-=item *
-
-An off-by-one error caused C<< /[:upper:]/ >> and C<< /[:punct:]/ >> to
-unexepectly match characters with code points above 255. This has been
-rectified. [perl 111400].
-
-=item *
-
-C<< (?foo: ...) >> no longer loses passed in character set.
-

-
-Allow attributes to set C<< :lvalue >> on a defined sub. [perl 107366].
-
-=item *
-
-C<< die; >> with a non-reference, non-string value in $@ now properly
-propgates that value [perl #111654].

-
-C<< Term::ReadLine >> now uses AnyEvent instead of Tk for an event loop.

-=head1 Known Problems
-

-tests that had to be C<TODO>ed for the release would be noted here, unless
-they were specific to a particular platform (see below).

-=head1 Reporting Bugs
-
-If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles
-recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl
-bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be
-information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
-
-If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug>
-program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down
-to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the
-output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be
-analysed by the Perl porting team.
-
-If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
-inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send
-it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
-unarchived mailing list, which includes
-all the core committers, who will be able
-to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
-co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
-platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
-security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently
-distributed on CPAN.
