A very brief summary is: + +o Visible Changes to Core Functionality + + -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for + locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod. + Thanks to Jarkkko Hietaniemi. + + -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be + backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex. + + -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size + %hash. + + -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted. + +o Changes in Core Internals + + -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03 + versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented + as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and + gv_efullname3. + + -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC), + as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility + with 5.003. + +o Configure and build enhancements + + -many new tests for the standard library. + + -test suite now locale-friendly. + + -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods. + +o Bug fixes + + -whitespace lexer errors fixed. + + -many, many other things. See details below. + +o Specific Changes + +Here are the specific file-by-file changes. + +# This is my patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl5.003_05 +# The full description is below. +# Please execute the following commands before applying this patch. +# (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.) +# Andy Dougherty <doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu> + +# We'll create some new tests, but patch won't automatically make them +# executable. +for t in abbrev.t autoloader.t basename.t checktree.t complex.t \ + env.t fatal.t filecache.t filecopy.t filefind.t filepath.t \ + findbin.t getopt.t hostname.t parsewords.t searchdict.t \ + selectsaver.t symbol.t texttabs.t textwrap.t timelocal.t +do + touch t/lib/$t + chmod +x t/lib/$t +done + +# The a2p.man and s2p.man pages have been changed into pods. +rm -f x2p/a2p.man x2p/s2p.man + +exit 0 + + +This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05. +This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06. + +To apply this patch, run the above commands, +cd to your perl source directory and then type + + patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat + +The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below.

Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not + treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been + rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked + around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand, + remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs + can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod, + without breaking links.] + + 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part + of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the + \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source + having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.] + + 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass + by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'. + + 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff + from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction. + + 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this + confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins + with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead + of basic functions."'. + + Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod + modules, when ready, will not have these defects. + +Index: pp_ctl.c + + Restore the 5.003 gv_fullname() and gv_efullname() functions. + Provide new 3-arg forms gv_fullname3() and gv_efullname3(). + + Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 22:03:00 +0300 + From: Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@alpha.hut.fi> + Subject: LC_COLLATE. + + Big patch to add, document, and test LC_COLLATE support. + + sortcmp() sprouted a LC_COLLATE branch. + +Index: pp_hot.c + + Restore the 5.003 gv_fullname() and gv_efullname() functions. + Provide new 3-arg forms gv_fullname3() and gv_efullname3(). + + Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 11:58:22 -0400 + From: "Randy J.
