Subject: perldoc finds wrong pod2man
(from perldoc source)
# We must look both in @INC for library modules and in PATH
# for executables, like h2xs or perldoc itself.
Unfortunately, searching PATH for installed perl executables like
pod2man is INCORRECT. perldoc should start by searching the
directory it was executed from, which might not be in the PATH
at all.

CORE LANGUAGE CHANGES
Subject: Bitwise op sign rationalization
From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net>
Files: op.c opcode.pl pod/perlop.pod pod/perltoc.pod pp.c pp.h pp_hot.c proto.h sv.c t/op/bop.t
Make bitwise ops result in unsigned values, unless C<use
integer> is in effect. Includes initial support for UVs.
Subject: Defined scoping for C<my> in control structures
From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net>
Files: op.c perly.c perly.c.diff perly.h perly.y proto.h toke.c
Finally defines semantics of "my" in control expressions,
like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope
of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control
structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which
automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits
its scope to the loop.
Subject: Fix ++/-- after int conversion (e.g. 'printf "%d"')
From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net>
Files: pp.c pp_hot.c sv.c
This patch makes Perl correctly ignore SvIVX() if either
NOK or POK is true, since SvIVX() may be a truncated or
overflowed version of the real value.
Subject: Make code match Camel II re: functions that use $_
From: Paul Marquess <pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk>

If you're adventurous, have a look at
ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/outgoing/perl5.0/perl5.002beta1.tar.gz
Many thanks to Andy for doing the integration.
Obviously, if you consult the bugs database, you'll note there are
still plenty of buglets that need fixing, and several enhancements that
I've intended to put in still haven't made it in (Hi, Tim and Ilya).
But I think it'll be pretty stable. And you can start to fiddle around
with prototypes (which are, of course, still totally undocumented).
Packrats, don't worry too much about readvertising this widely.
Nowadays we're on a T1 here, so our bandwidth is okay.
Have the appropriate amount of jollity.

To apply, change to your perl directory, run the commands above, then
apply with
patch -p1 -N < thispatch.
After you apply this patch, I would recommend:
rm config.sh
sh Configure [whatever options you use]
make depend
make
make test
Here are the highlights:
All pod documentation now installed, along with corresponding man
pages, if possible (Configure allows you to change this).
cppstdin no longer points back to the build directory. This
necessitated two changes to the test suite: comp/cpp.t is now a
front end that punts if cppstdin is not yet available (the old
perl4 trick doesn't work for perl5). The op/misc.t test
./perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' has been dropped since I couldn't think
of an elegant way to bypass it for systems that need the cppstdin
wrapper.
Grand autoload patch included (minus the installperl, lib/, and
ext/ changes). The lib/ changes are in patch.1g, and the
ext/ changes are in patch.1h.
Better detection and use of stdio variants, especially on SVR4.
Sarathy's consolidated patches (for ties) included.
New filter stuff included.
Three patches from Larry (gv.c, toke.c, pp_ctl.c)
Patch and enjoy,
Andy Dougherty doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu
Dept. of Physics
Lafayette College Easton, PA 18042
Here's the file-by-file breakdown of what's included:
Changes.Conf
Document changes in the Configure & build process.
Configure
Upgrade to metaconfig PL55.
Add /opt hierarchy to paths searched for programs.
Tye McQueen's updated std stdio testing.
Prompting for installation info for perl module pages.
Add possible SITELIB to include site-specific include directories.
By default this is disabled, but it seemed a neat idea now that
the standard perl library is getting so big.
Check that the compiler chosen exists and actually supports the
options the user specified.
Correctly sort multiple shared library version numbers.
Use a compile & link test for gconvert(), dlopen(), and dlerror().
Do not include build directory name in cppstdin wrapper.
MANIFEST
Updated.
Makefile.SH
Reorganized a bit to support separate install.perl and install.man
targets to use the new installman script and to accomodate those who
don't want to install the man pages.
Organize cleanup of .SH files a little better.
No longer automatically make the pod/*.man files. This is done by
installman only if requested.
Include additional error messages and info for regenerating the
automatically maintained header files.
Add 'minitest' target.
README
Updated.
README.vms
Fix perl5-porters subscription info.
config_H
Updated.
config_h.SH
Updated.
configpm
Embedded pod.
configure
GNU configure-like front end to metaconfig's Configure.
Only supports a few options.
doio.c
Updated to use new std stdio testing.
embed.h
Add new symbols for filtering.
global.sym
see embed.h.
gv.c

installman
New file to install pod/*.pod and lib/*.p(m|od) man pages.
installperl
Move installation of man pages over to installman script.
Install pod/*.pod files in $privlib/pod/.
Preserve timestamps on .a files.
makedepend.SH
Now includes . and .. in PATH to explicitly find cppstdin wrapper.
opcode.h
opcode.pl
shmwrite fix.
perl.c
Changed unofficial patchlevel message.
Included optional SITELIB directory.
perl.h
#include <memory.h>
cryptswitch gone/filters added.
EUNICE replaced by UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS. Only matters for VMS.
perldoc.SH
New file.
pod/perl.pod
Describe where modpods are.
pp_ctl.c
sort bug fix from lwall.
pp_hot.c
csh glob bug fix from tchrist.
Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey
pp_sys.c
Emulate flock with lockf, if possible.
Use new std stdio unit.
proto.h
Filters stuff.
prototype for unlnk() is only needed #if UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS
sv.c
Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey
Sarathy's consolidated patch for nested ties.
Use new std stdio unit.
t/comp/cpp.aux
New file. This only gets called if cppstdin is avaiable.
t/comp/cpp.t
Calls cpp.aux test only if cppstdin is available.
t/op/misc.t
Drop
perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' test.
it couldn't work on systems without the cppstdin wrapper
installed, and is usually misleading when it fails anyway.
toke.c
filter stuff.
fix for NETaa13798 from lwall.
unixish.h
undef UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS since it's irrelevant for unix.
util.c
s/EUNICE/UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS/ for the unlnk() function.
vms/config.vms
VMS updates from Charles Bailey.
std stdio updates to match changes in perl sources.
add UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS constant, but leave it #undef.
vms/ext/MM_VMS.pm
vms/ext/VMS/stdio/stdio.xs
vms/perlvms.pod
vms/vms.c
VMS updates from Charles Bailey.

Configure
Updated to dist PL53.
Fix overlapping memcpy test.
Add check for ld. Use $cc instead, if on an ELF system.
With -d, don't reuse config.sh unless $myuname matches.
Warn more explicitly about changing compilers before reloading
old config.sh.
Detect Linux ELF format in nm scan.
Better detection of d_castneg. (ISC 4.1 was passing the test,
but couldn't cast in an argument list.)
Suggest -fpic for dynamic loading if you're using GNU CC under any
name.
No longer test for byacc, fmod, or drem, since they are not used.
Makefile.SH
Use $ld, not ld (only matters for SVR4)
Silence some byacc-related harmless error messages.
README
Suggest using -Dcc=gcc (or whatever).
Warn about reusing old config.sh. (The warning was already there
in 5.001; I've just expanded it a little.)
Warn against using GNU as and GNU ld on SunOS & Solaris.
config.H
config_h.SH
Updated to match Configure.
doio.c
Add socket includes.
ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.xs
Fix typo: s/SETFL/F_SETFL/;
handy.h
Check _G_HAVE_BOOL, not just if it's defined.
hints/dynix.sh
hints/hpux_9.sh
hints/linux.sh
hints/netbsd.sh
hints/titanos.sh
Updated. ELF on linux should probably work.
installperl
Install pod2html, pod2latex, and pod2man.
lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
Updated to 4.091. (4.09 + a small writedoc() patch.)
myconfig
Now includes 'ld' command.
perl.c
Revised an #elif clause since Pyramid's cpp doesn't understand
#elif.
perl.h
Fix U_L, I_V, and I_32 cast macros to ensure that
the cast_ulong(), cast_iv(), and cast_i32() functions (if used)
are passed a double. In particular, the FIXSTATUS macros were
handing int's to U_L().
Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD testing (See util.c).
proto.h
Remove my_fmod() prototype. (See util.c)
sv.h
Fix GV/CV typo.
util.c
Simplified cast_i32() and cast_iv() to mimic what *actually*
happens on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.3. (Previously, they did
some complicated fmod() calculation. I've since discovered that's
not what happens on the SPARC.)
With this change, fmod() is no longer necessary. Hence my_fmod
is removed. This also means the HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM tests are
no longer needed in Configure, so they are gone too.
vms/config.vms
Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM defines.
x2p/Makefile.SH
Silence byacc-related things.

fix]
This is my patch patch.1b for perl5.001.
[Actually, that's a lie. This is just a reposting of two of my
patches (removing some byacc dependencies and fixing some set*id
stuff) + one version of the x2p/walk.c emit_split() patch.
I've just usurped the letter 'b' to fit in my patch sequence.
You probably have already applied these as well, but again here they
are all packaged up nice and neatly for storage on ftp sites.]
Here's one possible solution to the byacc problem. Short summary:
make will think your perly.[ch] are out of date because perly.c.diff
has changed. They aren't really out of date, but the ordering of the
timestamps in the distribution fools make. I had put some traps in
perly.fixer to check to make sure that everything got run only if
you ran the same version of byacc (1.8) as Larry, but the traps aren't good
enough: There's a Cygnus version of byacc out there that also calls
itself 1.8 (with a +Cygnus xxx note attached). I don't think I'll
ever be able to reliably detect all mutant byacc's, so the safest
course of action seems to be to never run byacc.
(Yes, the perly.fixer check could be a _lot_ smarter. Volunteers?)
This simple-minded fix just puts in a
perly.c: perly.y
- touch perly.c
perly.h: perly.y
- touch perly.h
to bring perly.[ch] up to date, if needed.
The '-' are in case your source is read-only.
It also does the same trick in x2p/Makefile.SH.
WARNING! Danger! Larry, if you do this, it means you have to
explicitly call
make run_byacc
whenever you change perly.y, perly.c.diff, or
cd x2p; make run_byacc
if you change x2p/a2p.y.
However, it might be worth it. I leave it up to you.

This patch fixes various non-broken things in the x2p/ directory.
Mostly, I've supplied function prototypes to satisfy particularly
picky compilers.
I've also updated Makefile.SH to know that the byacc-generated a2p.c
is now included with the distribution so that we no longer need to go
looking for yacc/bison/byacc and deal with various library issues or
command line options to support those various compiler compilers.
I've included a2p.c generated by byacc-1.9. Larry, feel free to
use your own from byacc-1.8 instead.

Alas neither my "Irwin AccuTrack" nor my DC 600A quarter-inch cartridge

Subject: added eval {}
Subject: eval 'stuff' now optimized to eval {stuff}
This set of patches doesn't have many enhancements but this is
one of them. The eval operator has two distinct semantic functions.
First, it runs the parser on some random string and executes it.
Second, it traps exceptions and returns them in $@. There are times
when you'd like to get the second function without the first. In
order to do that, you can now eval a block of code, which is parsed
like ordinary code at compile time, but which traps any run-time
errors and returns them in the $@ variable. For instance, to
trap divide by zero errors:
eval {
$answer = $foo / $bar;
};
warn $@ if $@;
Since single-quoted strings don't ever change, they are optimized
to the eval {} form the first time they are encountered at run-time.
This doesn't happen too often, though some of you have written things
like eval '&try_this;'. However, the righthand side of s///e is
evaluated as a single-quoted string, so this construct should run
somewhat faster now.
Subject: added sort {} LIST
Another enhancement that some of you have been hankering for.
You can now inline the sort subroutine as a block where the
subroutine name used to go:
@articles = sort {$a <=> $b;} readdir(DIR);
Subject: added some support for 64-bit integers
For Convexen and Crayen, which have 64-bit integers, there's
now pack, unpack and sprintf support for 64-bit integers.
Subject: sprintf() now supports any length of s field
You can now use formats like %2048s and %-8192.8192s. Perl will
totally bypass your system's sprintf() function on these. No,
you still probably can't say %2048d. No, I'm not going to
change that any time soon.
Subject: substr() and vec() weren't allowed in an lvalue list
Subject: extra comma at end of list is now allowed in more places (Hi, Felix!)
Subject: underscore is now allowed within literal octal and hex numbers
Various syntactic relaxations. You can now get away with
(substr($foo,0,3), substr($bar,0,3)) = ('abc', 'def');
(1,2,3,)[$x];
$addr = 0x1a20_ff0b;
Subject: safe malloc code now integrated into Perl's malloc when possible
To save a bunch of subroutine calls. If you use your system's
malloc it still has to use wrappers.
Subject: added support for dbz
By saying "make dbzperl" you can make a copy of Perl that can
access C news's dbz files. You still have to follow the dbz rules,
though, if you're going to try to write a dbz file.
Subject: there are now subroutines for calling back from C into Perl
Subject: usub/curses.mus now supports SysV curses
More C linkage support. I still haven't got Perl embeddable, but
we're getting there. That's too big an enhancement for this
update, in which I've been trying to stick to bug fixes, with some
success.
Subject: prepared for ctype implementations that don't define isascii()
A larger percentage of this update consists of code to do
consistent ctype processing whether or not <ctype.h> is 8-bit
clean.
Subject: /$foo/o optimizer could access deallocated data
Subject: certain optimizations of //g in array context returned too many values
Subject: regexp with no parens in array context returned wacky $`, $& and $'
Subject: $' not set right on some //g
Subject: grep of a split lost its values
Subject: # fields could write outside allocated memory
Subject: length($x) was sometimes wrong for numeric $x
Recently added or modified stuff that you kind of expect to be
a bit flaky still. Well, I do...
Subject: passing non-existend array elements to subrouting caused core dump
Subject: "foo" x -1 dumped core
Subject: truncate on a closed filehandle could dump
Subject: a last statement outside any block caused occasional core dumps
Subject: missing arguments caused core dump in -D8 code
Subject: cacheout.pl could dump core from invalid comparison operator
Subject: *foo = undef coredumped
Subject: warn '-' x 10000 dumped core
Subject: index("little", "longer string") could visit faraway places
A bunch of natty little bugs that you wouldn't generally run into
unless you're trying to be coy.
Subject: hex() didn't understand leading 0x
It wasn't documented that it should work, but oct() understands 0x,
so why not hex()? I dunno...
Subject: "foo\0" eq "foo" was sometimes optimized to true
Subject: eval confused by string containing null
Yet more holdovers from the time before Perl was 8-bit clean.
Subject: foreach on null list could spring memory leak
Subject: local(*FILEHANDLE) had a memory leak
Kind of slow leaks, as leaks go. Still...
Subject: minimum match length calculation in regexp is now cumulative
More substitutions can be done in place now because Perl knows
that patterns like in s/foo\s+bar/1234567/ have to match a
certain number of characters total. It used to be on that
particular pattern that it only knew that it had to match at
least 3 characters. Now it know it has to match at least 7.
Subject: multiple reallocations now avoided in 1 .. 100000
You still don't want to say 1 .. 1000000, but at least it will
refrain from allocating intermediate sized blocks while it's
constructing the value, and won't do the extra copies implied
by realloc.
Subject: indirect subroutine calls through magic vars (e.g. &$1) didn't work
Subject: defined(&$foo) and undef(&$foo) didn't work
Subject: certain perl errors should set EBADF so that $! looks better
Subject: stats of _ forgot whether prior stat was actually lstat
Subject: -T returned true on NFS directory
Subject: sysread() in socket was substituting recv()
Subject: formats didn't fill their fields as well as they could
Subject: ^ fields chopped hyphens on line break
Subject: -P didn't allow use of #elif or #undef
Subject: $0 was being truncated at times
Subject: forked exec on non-existent program now issues a warning
Various things you'd expect to work the way you expect, but
didn't when you did, or I did, or something...
Subject: perl mistook some streams for sockets because they return mode 0 too
Subject: reopening STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR failed on some machines
Problems opening files portably. So what's new?
Subject: cppstdin now installed outside of source directory
Subject: installperl now overrides installer's umask
People who used cppstdin for the cpp filter or who had their
umask set to 700 will now be happier. (And Configure will now
prefer /lib/cpp over cppstdin like it used to. If this gives
your machine heartburn because /lib/cpp doesn't set the symbols
it should, write a hints file to poke them into ccflags.)
Subject: initial .* in pattern had dependency on value of $*
An initial .* was optimized to have a ^ on the front to avoid retrying
when we know it won't match. Unfortunately this implicit ^ was
paying attention to $*, which it shouldn't have been.
Subject: certain patterns made use of garbage pointers from uncleared memory
Many of you saw this as a failure in t/op/pat.t.
Subject: perl now issues warning if $SIG{'ALARM'} is referenced
Since the book mentions "SIGALARM", I thought we needed this.
Subject: solitary subroutine references no longer trigger typo warnings
You can now use -w (more) profitably on programs that require
other files. I figured if you mistype a subroutine name you'll
get a fatal error anyway, unlike a variable, which just defaults
to being undefined.
Subject: $foo .= <BAR> could overrun malloced memory
Good old-fashioned bug.
Subject: \$ didn't always make it through double-quoter to regexp routines
Subject: \x and \c were subject to double interpretation in regexps
Subject: nested list operators could miscount parens
Subject: sort eval "whatever" didn't work
Syntactic misfeatures of various sorts.
Subject: find2perl produced incorrect code for -group
Subject: find2perl could be confused by names containing whitespace
Subject: in a2p, split on whitespace produced extra null field
Translator stuff.
Subject: new complete.pl from Wayne Thompson
Subject: assert.pl and exceptions.pl from Tom Christiansen
Subject: added Tom's c2ph stuff
Subject: getcwd.pl from Brandon S. Allbery
Subject: fastcwd.pl from John Basik
Subject: chat2.pl from Randal L. Schwartz
New contributed stuff. Thanks!
(Not that a lot of the other stuff isn't contributed too...)
Subject: debugger got confused over nested subroutine definitions
Subject: once-thru blocks didn't display right in the debugger
Subject: perldb.pl modified to run within emacs in perldb-mode
Debugger stuff. The first two were caused by not saving line
numbers at exactly the right moment.
Subject: documented meaning of scalar(%foo)
I also updated the Errata section of the man page.
Subject: various portability fixes
Subject: random cleanup
Subject: saberized perl
Type casts, saber warning message suppression, hints files and various
metaconfig fiddlehoods.

So far, 4.0 is still a beta test version. For the last production
version, look in pub/perl.3.0/kits@44.

Most of these patches are pretty self-explanatory. Much of this
is random cleanup in preparation for version 4.0, so I won't talk
about it here. A couple of things should be noted, however.
First, there's a new -0 option that allows you to specify (in octal)
the initial value of $/, the record separator. It's primarily
intended for use with versions of find that support -print0 to
delimit filenames with nulls, but it's more general than that:
null
^A
default
CR
paragraph mode
file slurp mode
This feature is so new that it didn't even make it into the book.
The other major item is that different patchlevels of perl can
now coexist in your bin directory. The names "perl" and "taintperl"
are just links to "perl3.044" and "tperl3.044". This has several
benefits. The perl3.044 invokes the corresponding tperl3.044 rather
than taintperl, so it always runs the correct version. Second, you can
"freeze" a script by putting a #! line referring to a version that
it is known to work with. Third, you can put a new version out
there to try out before making it the default perl. Lastly, it
sells more disk drives. :-)
Barring catastrophe, this will likely be the last patch before
version 4.0 comes out.

This set of patches pretty much brings you up to the functionality
that version 4.0 will have. The Perl Book documents version 4.0.
Perhaps these should be called release notes... :-)
Enhancements:
Many of the changes relate to making the debugger work better.
It now runs your scripts at nearly full speed because it no longer
calls a subroutine on every statement. The debugger now doesn't
get confused about packages, evals and other filenames. More
variables (though still not all) are available within the debugger.
Related to this is the fact that every statement now knows which
package and filename it was compiled in, so package semantics are
now much more straightforward. Every variable also knows which
package it was compiled in. So many places that used to print
out just the variable name now prefix the variable name with the
package name. Notably, if you print *foo it now gives *package'foo.
Along with these, there is now a "caller" function which returns
the context of the current subroutine call. See the man page for
more details.
Chip Salzenberg sent the patches for System V IPC (msg, sem and shm)
so I dropped them in.
There was no way to wait for a specific pid, which was silly, since
Perl was already keeping track of the information. So I added
the waitpid() call, which uses Unix's wait4() or waitpid() if
available, and otherwise emulates them (at least as far as letting
you wait for a particular pid--it doesn't emulate non-blocking wait).
For use in sorting routines, there are now two new operators,
cmp and <=>. These do string and numeric comparison, returning
-1, 0 or 1 when the first argument is less than, equal to or
greater than the second argument.
Occasionally one finds that one wants to evaluate an operator in
a scalar context, even though it's part of a LIST. For this purpose,
there is now a scalar() operator. For instance, the approved
fix for the novice error of using <> in assigning to a local is now:
local($var) = scalar(<STDIN>);
Perl's ordinary I/O is done using standard I/O routines. Every
now and then this gets in your way. You may now access the system
calls read() and write() via the Perl functions sysread() and
syswrite(). They should not be intermixed with ordinary I/O calls
unless you know what you're doing.
Along with this, both the sysread() and read() functions allow you
an optional 4th argument giving an offset into the string you're
reading into, so for instance you can easily finish up partial reads.
As a bit of syntactic sugar, you can now use the file tests -M, -A
and -C to determine the age of a file in (possibly fractional) days
as of the time the script started running. This makes it much
easier to write midnight cleanup scripts with precision.
The index() and rindex() functions now have an optional 3rd argument
which tells it where to start looking, so you can now iterate through
a string using these functions.
The substr() function's 3rd argument is now optional, and if omitted,
the function returns everything to the end of the string.
The tr/// translation function now understands c, d and s options, just
like the tr program. (Well, almost just like. The d option only
deletes characters that aren't in the replacement string.) The
c complementes the character class to match and the s option squishes
out multiple occurrences of any replacement class characters.
The reverse function, used in a scalar context, now reverses its
scalar argument as a string.
Dale Worley posted a patch to add @###.## type fields to formats.
I said, "Neat!" and dropped it in, lock, stock and sinker.
Kai Uwe Rommel sent a bunch of MSDOS and OS/2 updates, which I (mostly)
incorporated. I can't vouch for them, but they look okay.
Any data stored after the __END__ marker can be accesses now via
the DATA filehandle, which is automatically opened onto the script
at that point. (Well, actually, it's just kept open, since it
was already open to read the script.)
The taintperl program now checks for world writable PATH components,
and complains if any are found (if PATH is used).
Bug fixes:
It used to be that you could get core dumps by such means as
@$foo=();
@foo[42];
(1,2,3)[42];
$#foo = 50;
foreach $elem (@foo) {
$elem = 1;
}
This is no longer so. (For those who are up on Perl internals, the
stack policy no longer allows Nullstr--all undefined values must
be passed as &str_undef.)
If you say something like
local($foo,$bar);
or
local($initialized,$foo,$bar) = ('one value');
$foo and $bar are now initialized to the undefined value, rather
than the defined null string.
Array assignment to special arrays is now better supported. For
instance, @ENV = () clears the environment, and %foo = () will
now clear any dbm file bound to %foo.
On the subject of dbm files, the highly visible bugs at patchlevel
28 have been fixed. You can now open dbm files readonly, and you
don't have to do a dummy assignment to make the cache allocate itself.
The modulus operator wasn't working right on negative values because
of a misplaced cast. For instance, -5 % 5 was returning
the value 5, which is clearly wrong.
Certain operations coredumped if you didn't supply a value:
close;
eof;
Previously, if the subroutine supplied for a sort operation didn't
exist, it failed quietly. Now it produces a fatal error.
The bitwise complement operator ~ didn't work on vec() strings longer
than one byte because of failure to increment a loop variable.
The oct and hex functions returned a negative result if the highest
bit was set. They now return an unsigned result, which seems a
little less confusing. Likewise, the token 0x80000000 also produces
an unsigned value now.
Some machines didn't like to see 0x87654321 in an #ifdef because
they think of the symbols as signed. The tests have been changed
to just look at the lower 4 nybbles of the value, which is sufficient
to determine endianness, at least as far as the #ifdefs are concerned.
The unshift operator did not return the documented value, which
was the number of elements in the new array. Instead it returned
the last unshifted argument, more or less by accident.
-w sometimes printed spurious warnings about ARGV and ENV when
referencing the arrays indirectly through shift or exec. This
was because the typo test was misplaced before the code that
exempts special variables from the typo test.
If you said 'require "./foo.pl"', it would look in someplace like
/usr/local/lib/perl/./foo.pl instead of the current directory. This
works more like people expect now. The require error messages also
referred to wrong file, if they worked at all.
The h2ph program didn't translate includes right--it should have
changed .h to .ph.
Patterns with multiple short literal strings sometimes failed.
This was a problem with the code that looks for a maximal literal
string to feed to the Boyer-Moore searching routine. The code
was gluing together literal strings that weren't continuous.
The $* variable controls multi-line pattern matching. When it's
0, patterns are supposed to match as if the string contained a
single line. Unfortunately, /^pat/ occasionally matched in middle
of string under certain conditions.
Recently the regular expression routines were upgraded to do
{n,m} more efficiently. In doing this, however, I manufactured
a couple of bugs: /.{n,m}$/ could match with fewer than n characters
remaining on the line, and patterns like /\d{9}/ could match more
than 9 characters.
The undefined value has an actual physical location in Perl, and
pointers to it are passed around. By certain circuitous routes
it was possible to clobber the undefined value so that it
was no longer undefined--kind of like making /dev/null into
a real file. Hopefully this can't happen any more.
op.stat could fail if /bin/0 existed, because of a while (<*>) {...
This has been changed to a while (defined($_ = <*>)) {...
The length of a search pattern was limited by the length of
tokenbuf internally. This restriction has been removed.
The null character gave the tokener indigestion when used as
a delimiter for m// or s///.
There was a bunch of other cleanupish things that are too trivial
to mention here.

Certain systems, notable Ultrix, set the close-on-exec flag
by default on dup'ed file descriptors. This is anti-social
when you're creating a new STDOUT. The flag is now forced
off for STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR.
Some yaccs report 29 shift/reduce conflicts and 59 reduce/reduce
conflicts, while other yaccs and bison report 27 and 61. The
Makefile now says to expect either thing. I'm not sure if there's
a bug lurking there somewhere.
The defined(@array) and defined(%array) ended up defining
the arrays they were trying to determine the status of. Oops.
Using the status of NSIG to determine whether <signal.h> had
been included didn't work right on Xenix. A fix seems to be
beyond Configure at the moment, so we've got some OS dependent
#ifdefs in there.
There were some syntax errors in the new code to determine whether
it is safe to emulate rename() with unlink/link/unlink. Obviously
heavily tested code... :-)
Patch 27 introduced the possibility of using identifiers as
unquoted strings, but the code to warn against the use of
totally lowercase identifiers looped infinitely.
I documented that you can't interpolate $) or $| in pattern.
It was actually implied under s///, but it should have been
more explicit.
Patterns with {m} rather than {m,n} didn't work right.
Tests io.fs and op.stat had difficulties under AFS. They now
ignore the tests in question if they think they're running under
/afs.
The shift/reduce expectation message was off for a2p's Makefile.
