My system can provide 22 megs, which is not vast, but >should be adequate to run a test, so I think lib/complex is being greedy. >I'm pretty sure that the cause is repeated use of .= or similar on a >scalar: the system malloc() which perl has to use on MachTen does not >appear to coalesce free()d chunks, so behaves very badly when a scalar >grows repeatedly. Anyway, I'll delve deeper and probably post a patch. Here's that patch. It saves 2,861 (give or take) of those realloc()s my system's native malloc() package fields so badly. Beware long lines. Hope they reach you unmangled. (If not, ask me to send it uuencoded, or as a MIME attachment or something.)

* Exporting UNIVERSAL::canM.J.T. Guy1997-03-221-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | UNIVERSAL allows the export of 'isa' but not 'can'. Since it is useful to be able to apply 'can' to non-references (to avoid having to do redundant tests), I offer the following tiny patch. This also updates the pod to make it slightly clearer that both functions can be applied to arbitrary values, not just references. p5p-msgid: E0w9DwX-0000Zr-00@taurus.cus.cam.ac.uk
* Extraneous blank lines from Pod::TextRuss Allbery1997-03-221-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | I get the impression that eventually all of the Pod stuff currently distributed with Perl is going to be phased out in favor of something new, but in the meantime pod2text has always generated an extra blank line after literal text (indented text). The following patch to Pod::Text appears to fix that, although I may be missing something since I don't understand why the removed line was ever there to begin with. p5p-msgid: qumend4qq08.fsf@cyclone.stanford.edu

Should this be documented? | | IMO, it deserves an entry in perltrap. How 'bout something like =item * Regular Expression Currently, if you use the /o qualifier on a regular expression within an anonymous subroutine, I<all> closures generated from that anonymous sub constructor will use the regular expression compiled the very first time the constructor was called. For instance, if you say sub build_match { my($left,$right) = @_; return sub { $_[0] =~ /$left stuff $right/o; }; } build_match will always return a sub which matches the contents of C<$left> and <$right> from the first time it was called, not from the current call. This is probably a bug, and may change in future versions of Perl. It's a bit long, but I can't think of a more concise explanation that's not confusing. BTW, should we have a perlbugs.pod or somesuch as a home for things like this, which aren't so much stable changes in the language as problems we haven't been able to sort out yet? p5p-msgid: 01IGCHWRNSEU00661G@hmivax.humgen.upenn.edu

But, I wasn't just saying thanks for that fix, rather, _all_ the work you have done Chip, esp. _all_ the embedding fixes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the faqqing dust has settled, it looks like a couple of the things in the FAQ aren't mentioned in the pods and should be. I came up with a list of possible changes, and have implemented all but: - Need a discussion of optimising for speed/size, including compiling, autosplitting, etc. - The buffering discussion from part5 belongs somewhere. - The explanation of C<..> in perlop is confusing. Then again, C<..> is confusing. p5p-msgid: 199703171650.JAA02655@elara.frii.com

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There has been no response to this on p5p, Chip hasn't included it in his "More seeds of _94" and I can't find it on the archive. So I suppose it got lost. I note that the patch needs to be merged with a more recently posted one handling references. p5p-msgid: E0w815V-0005xs-00@ursa.cus.cam.ac.uk
| * fix for Exporter's $SIG{__WARN__} handlerRoderick Schertler1997-03-091-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Exporter's $SIG{__WARN__} handler is too zealous. It fails here: $ cat t require Carp; package Foo; @ISA = qw(Exporter); @EXPORT_OK = @EXPORT_FAIL = qw(foo); sub export_fail { my $self = shift; Carp::carp("carp from export_fail"); return (); } package main; import Foo 'foo'; $ perl5.00393 t carp from export_fail at t line 16 at t line 16 This is because the carp() inside export_fail triggers Exporter's __WARN__ handler which calls carp() a second time which adds the second " at t line 16". I was surprised to learn that carp() adds its string to an error message which ends with a newline, I thought it followed warn()'s lead on that. I checked 5.003 and it was the same there, too, though. Also, shouldn't Exporter's __WARN__ handler increment $Carp::CarpLevel rather than setting it to 1? I didn't include that in the patch because I'm not sure, but it seems the right thing to do to me. p5p-msgid: 2282.858296451@eeyore.ibcinc.com

The reason is that 'all' chunk is written anyway not depending on the value of SKIPHASH. In my eText package I do $self->MM::top_targets inside MY::top_targets, and this bombs. Patch follows (only for 'all', I did not check any other target): (The alternative is to patch perlxstut, but this may break some other programs, not only mine...)

Of course a work around is to check the length of the string, eg $ perl -le '$x="ab"; print length($x)<3?$x:substr($x , 0, 3)' ab but this doesn't seem reasonable. Can anyone think of a reason against changing substr to allow this feature. I had expected it to work this way.
