- enable better Win32::DomainName() by demand loading netapi32.dll
- (from Jan Dubois)
- --
- win32_utime() on directories should use localtime() rather
- than gmtime() (from Jan Dubois)
- --
- serious bug introduced by G_VOID changes in 5.003_96: scalar
- eval"" did not pop stack correctly; C<$a = eval "(1,2)x1">
- is one symptom of the problem
- --
- add $installarchlib/CORE to default linker search path on windows
- --
- fix memory leak in C<sub f { split ' ', "a b" } f() while 1>
- --
- fix memory leak in C<sub f { @_ = 1 } f() while 1>
- --

- Message-ID: <37a50af0.46171380@smtp1.ibm.net>
- --

- Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 23:53:43 +0200
- Message-ID: <37a902e7.15977234@smtp1.ibm.net>
- Subject: Merge ActivePerl Stylesheet support etc into Pod::Html.pm
- --
- use a better prefixify() heuristic than m/perl/ (prefix/lib/perl5
- and prefix/lib/perl5/man are ass_u_med only if those directories
- actually exist; else prefix/{lib,man} are used)
- --
- allow C<-foo> under C<use integer> (behavior of C<-$string>
- is unchanged still)
- --
- avoid race condition in the CAPI extension bootstrap handler
- --
- sanity check to cover the case when perl is installed into the
- X:\ (drive root)
- --
- truncate() has a peculiar exemption from strict barewords, even
- though it has a non-filehandle prototype
- --
- change#3447 didn't do enough to exempt Foo->bar(qw/.../) from
- strict 'subs'
- --
- change#3449 wasn't doing enough
- --
- make win32_spawnvp() inherit standard handles even when they
- may be redirected
- --
- minor logic tweak for reserved word warning
- --
- oops, some files missing in change#3449
- --
- allow '*' prototype to autoquote even barewords that happen to be
- function names; parens or ampersand continue to force the other
- interpretation; makes C<sub Foo {'bar'} CORE::GLOBAL::require Foo;>
- do the right thing, for example
- --
- redo change#2061 and parts of change#1169 with code in the
- parser; PL_last_proto hackery gone, strict 'subs' in now
- implemented in the optimizer where specifying the exceptional
- cases is much more robust; '*' (bareword) prototype now works
- reliably when used in second and subsequent arguments
- --
- remove redundant part of change#1169 superceded by change#2061;
- avoid "future reserved word" warning on prototypical bearwords
- --
- s/isspace/isSPACE/g and make sure the CRT version is always
- passed an unsigned char (fixes random occurrence of spaces in
- arguments containing high-bit chars passed to spawned children,
- on win32)
- --
- on win32, look for "site/5.XXX/lib" if "site/5.XXXYY/lib" isn't
- found (brings sitelib intuition in line with privlib)
- --
- mortalize string allocations by win32_get_{priv,site}lib()
- (fixes small memory leak in interpreter)
- --
- opendir(D,"x:") on win32 opens cwd() for drive rather than root;
- stat() behaves similarly
- --
- documentation for Win32 builtins (somewhat modified)
- From: jan.dubois@ibm.net (Jan Dubois)
- Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 08:05:03 +0200
- Message-ID: <37006783.1926460@smtp1.ibm.net>
- Subject: Re: Issues with build 509
- --
- provide File::Copy::syscopy() via Win32::CopyFile() on win32
- --
- more bulletproof workaround for mangled paths;
- provide Win32::GetLongPathName()
- --
- normalize $^X to full pathname on win32
- --
- work around mangled archname on win32 while finding privlib/sitelib;

- --
- adjust win32_stat() to cope with FindFirstFile() and stat() bugs
- (makes opendir(D,"c:") work reliably)
- --
- fix buggy reference count on refs to SVs with autoviv magic
- (resulted in C<my @a; $a[1] = 1; print \$_ for @a> and Data::Dumper
- accessing free()d memory)
- --
- fix bug in change#3123 (off-by-one, caused C<qx[noargs]> to fail
- on win32)
- --
- flip release & version in win32_uname()
- --
- support POSIX::uname() via win32_uname()
- --
- implement win32_spawnvp() internally, making it return true PIDs
- for asynchronous spawns; fix win32_kill() to always deal with
- PIDs
- --
- use yyerror() instead of croak() so that compile-time failures in
- my(LIST) don't confuse globals with lexicals
- --
