* | Add security contact information to perlsecDavid Golden2009-07-261-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch inserts a short paragraph with security contact information near the top of the "Perl Security" documentation page. This would seem a likely place someone would look for such information (rather than INSTALL or perldelta where it lives today). I've put it at the top, not the bottom to make it easier to find.
* | much better swap logic to support reentrancy and fix assert failureGeorge Greer2009-07-262-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c74340f9 added backreferences as well as the idea of a ->swap regex pointer to keep track of the match offsets in case of backtracking. The problem is that when Perl re-enters the regex engine to handle utf8::SWASHNEW, the ->swap is not saved/restored/cleared so any capture from the utf8 (Perl) code could inadvertently modify the regex match data that caused the utf8 swash to get built. This change should close out RT #60508

* | Allow -C on the #! line when it is identical to -C on the command line.Father Chrysostomos2009-07-262-5/+12
|/ | | | | Change from dieing whenever -C is seen on the #! line, to dieing only when it differs from that on the command line, or was not specified on the command line.

* Make kill() fatal for non-numeric pidsDavid Golden2009-07-093-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the debate over the best way to deal with floating point pids stalled, this is just for non-numeric, which at least squashes the bug even if it's not the Platonic ideal for everyone. It also doesn't address overloaded objects that might not have IV, NV or PV appropriately set, but the approach mirrors what is done elsewhere in doio.c so I recommend applying this patch now and fixing the problem of overloaded objects at some other time when it can be done more globally, either through an improvement or replacement of looks_like_number Also updated POD for kill when process is 0 or negative and fixed Test-Harness tests that used kill with a string pid. (Test-Harness test fix also submitted upstream)

* Make C<undef ~~ 0> and C<undef ~~ ""> not match (like in 5.10.0)Rafael Garcia-Suarez2009-07-011-0/+1
| | | | | | This makes ~~ commutative with regard to undef, and fixes an inconsistency, since C<undef ~~ [0]> was not matching, and ~~ should be distributive in this case.
