* It may not be obvious to a new Perl programmer that $#ary is explained in ↵Sinan Unur2010-06-151-0/+5
| | | | | | | | perldata.pod (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2997042/ ). A possible solution is to place an entry in perlvar.pod pointing out that $# was removed and pointing the user to perldata.pod for the explanation of $#ary usage.

| | | | | | I was looking for some actual values of $^O the other day and started ack-ing t/. Turns out that this was documented in perlport. Link to the relevant section to make it easy to find.

* Make pp_reverse fetch the lexical $_ from the correct padVincent Pit2010-06-031-1/+1
| | | | | | This is achieved by introducing a new find_rundefsv() function in pad.c This fixes [perl #75436].
* PATCH: teach diag.t new warning function namesKarl Williamson2010-06-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of function names that do warnings have been added, but diag.t hasn't kept up. This patch changes it to look for likely function names in embed.fnc, so it will automatically keep up in the future. There's no need to worry about it looking for inappropriate functions, as the syntax of messages that it looks for is so restrictive, that there won't be false positives. Instead there are still many messages it fails to catch. As a result of it's falling behind several issues have crept in. I resolved the couple I thought were clear (including one in a comment; diag.t doesn't strip comments, but mostly it doesn't matter), and added the others to the <DATA> section to ignore. are
* Reorder the entry for die, moving discussion of the exit code later.Nicholas Clark2010-05-311-9/+20
| | | | | | | | Change to start with "C<die> raises an exception." and phrase in terms of handling exceptions, and then how uncaught exceptions result in process exit. Do not give details of the exit code in the first paragraph. Move this to a later paragraph, clarify that $! is often unpredictable, and stress that 255 is the last resort exit code.
* PATCH: [perl #75138] "\c`" -> " "Karl Williamson2010-05-301-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attached is a patch for some of this issue. I took Nicholas' advice, and if the result of \cX isn't a word character, the output message will precede it with a backslash, so the message in the example would be "\c`" more clearly written simply as "\ " at -e line 1. I think that message is true. I also added tests. There is a test that guarantees that we won't ship 5.14 with things as they are now in it. I added wording to the comments next to that test to be sure to verify with this email thread if we should remove the deprecation, and mentioned that in the explanatory wording in the pod. I support removing the deprecation, but for now I'm not touching that, to see what other issues may yet arise before 5.14.

* Don't require doubled backslashes in perldiag.podKarl Williamson2010-05-301-10/+10
| | | | | Prior to this patch, messages in perldiag.pod had to have \\ instead of the correct single backslash in order for diag.t to not complain.

* PATCH: correct misstatement, formats in perlunicodeKarl Williamson2010-05-251-10/+11
| | | | This is suitable for 5.12.2, but not many people use this feature.
* Replace wrong tr/// table in perlebcdic.podKarl Williamson2010-05-251-45/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perlebcdic.pod contains a helpful table to use in tr/// to convert between EBCDIC and Latin1/ASCII. Unfortunately, the table is the inverse of the one it describes, as I discovered in following the directions on how it was extracted. The actual code that uses the table uses it in the inverse way, so it actually works correctly, but if you follow the instructions to get the tables corresponding to the other recognized code pages, you will get the inverse of the ones you wanted, and things won't work out. This patch changes the table to its inverse, and changes the sample code to correspond, as this is easier for the person trying to follow the instructions since deriving the old table is somewhat more complicated. I also changed the table to hex from octal, as that is more the norm these days, and I changed to recipes in the pod to print out leading zeros to make all the values the same length, as the table that they can generate has them.

* Add s///r (non-destructive substitution).David Caldwell2010-05-224-7/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes s/// so that it doesn't act destructively on its target. Instead it returns the result of the substitution (or the original string if there was no match). In addition this patch: * Adds a new warning when s///r happens in void context. * Adds a error when you try to use s///r with !~ * Makes it so constant strings can be bound to s///r with =~ * Adds documentation. * Adds some tests. * Updates various debug code so it knows about the /r flag. * Adds some new 'r' words to B::Deparse.
* support "package Foo { ... }"Zefram2010-05-201-4/+13
| | | | | | Package block syntax limits the scope of the package declaration to the attached block. It's cleaner than requiring the declaration to come inside the block.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function perl_ebcdic_control() is unnecessary, as the toCTRL macro that calls it can be changed to just map EBCDIC to ASCII first, and then doing the normal procedure. This means that EBCDIC and ASCII will no longer diverge. Currently, EBCIDIC gives a syntax error for inputs outside its domain, whereas the ASCII version accepts some of them.
