* document and improve hash algorithm randomization related build optionsYves Orton2013-05-081-3/+3
| | | | | | Install was a copy of other material, made heavy reference to 5.8.x and and didnt really document what it should have. I reworked it to be more up to date.
* Make it possible to disable and control hash key traversal randomizationYves Orton2013-05-071-26/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds support for PERL_PERTURB_KEYS environment variable, which in turn allows one to control the level of randomization applied to keys() and friends. When PERL_PERTURB_KEYS is 0 we will not randomize key order at all. The chance that keys() changes due to an insert will be the same as in previous perls, basically only when the bucket size is changed. When PERL_PERTURB_KEYS is 1 we will randomize keys in a non repeatedable way. The chance that keys() changes due to an insert will be very high. This is the most secure and default mode. When PERL_PERTURB_KEYS is 2 we will randomize keys in a repeatedable way. Repititive runs of the same program should produce the same output every time. The chance that keys changes due to an insert will be very high. This patch also makes PERL_HASH_SEED imply a non-default PERL_PERTURB_KEYS setting. Setting PERL_HASH_SEED=0 (exactly one 0) implies PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=0 (hash key randomization disabled), settng PERL_HASH_SEED to any other value, implies PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=2 (deterministic/repeatable hash key randomization). Specifying PERL_PERTURB_KEYS explicitly to a different level overrides this behavior. Includes changes to allow one to compile out various aspects of the patch. One can compile such that PERL_PERTURB_KEYS is not respected, or can compile without hash key traversal randomization at all. Note that support for these modes is incomplete, and currently a few tests will fail. Also includes a new subroutine in Hash::Util::hash_traversal_mask() which can be used to ensure a given hash produces a predictable key order (assuming the same hash seed is in effect). This sub acts as a getter and a setter. NOTE - this patch lacks tests, but I lack tuits to get them done quickly, so I am pushing this with the hope that others can add them afterwards.
* [perl #72892] Perl should support PERLmmnnLIB environment variableAndy Dougherty2013-02-201-3/+7
| | | | | | | | This patch to perlrun.pod expands the documentation of the directory hierarchy searched under the locations specified by PERL5LIB. It now explicitly mentions the version- and architecture-specific directories added, and also notes that $Config{inc_version_list} directories are added. These additions were suggested by Damon Atkins.
* Clarify that in-place editing actually creates a new file.Peter Martini2012-10-081-2/+4
| | | | | | | | If the in-place editing dies, the original is gone. Another implication of this is that hard links on UNIX won't work properly, since a new inode will be generated - I think that's a little too specific to spell out in the docs though.

* This patch is aagainst the "blead du moment". It fixes variousTom Christiansen2011-05-181-245/+255
| | | | | | | | | | | things, but does not address the "this version" != 5.14 and the perlio issues. I believe that these at least should be addressed as soon as possible (I don't know whether that means 5.14; probably not). It has to either say the particular version that applies. We can't keep releasing things that say this version: they are not trustable. --tom

| | | | | | While the other -C settings are global, "i" and "o" only affect subsequent open() calls in the current file. Document this and add two tests to make sure the documented behaviour doesn't change accidentally.
* fix description of -DJ in perlrunDavid Mitchell2010-08-251-1/+1
| | | | | | The description of the J debugging flag was logically the reverse of what it should be; i.e. -DJ enables, rather than suppresses, output in debugger packages

| | | | | | | | | | | | This documentation patch is more a rewording of the content of http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/10/msg129930.html than anything original.

* * Em dash cleanup in pod/brian d foy2010-01-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I looked at all the instances of spaces around -- and in most cases converted the sentences to use more appropriate punctuation. In general, the -- in the perl docs seem to be there only to make really complicated and really long sentences. I didn't look at the closed em-dashes. They probably have the same sentence-complexity problem. I left some open em-dashes in place. Those are the ones used in lists.
* PATCH: minor typo cleanup of pod/ directoryTom Christiansen2010-01-051-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are all in the pod/ directory, and only the first is a code fix. There was also a single lingering ISO 8859-1 encoding that missed the UTF-8 upconvert. The rest are cleanups for typos, some of which seem to have been around for a rather long time: spelling errors, incorrect possessives, and extra, missing, or duplicated words. If you actually read through, I bet you'll realize what sparked this. :) --tom Signed-off-by: Abigail <abigail@abigail.be>
