Version 5.004_02 Maintenance release 2 for 5.004
----------------
"When you work you are a flute through whose
heart the whispering of the hours turns to music."
-- from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
HEADLINES FOR THIS MAINTENANCE RELEASE
Major memory growth bug fixed.
Object destruction is more timely and orderly.
Further major enhancements to Win32 support, including:
Win32 binary compatibility between Visual C++ and Borland C++.
The -S option is now more useful on dos/Win32 (see perlrun).
Implicit -p print now checks for write errors.
DB_File now sub-classable (and other fixes).
Memory usage stats available with perl's malloc (see perldelta).
'use UNIVERSAL;' deprecated (see perldelta).
Internal integer to string conversions are faster.
Carp can be forced to give stack traces (see perldoc Carp).
Many other bug fixes and enhancements.

----------------
Version 5.003_20
----------------
The only language change in this release is the recension of support
for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
functions as closures.
And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

----------------
Version 5.003_19
----------------
Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
directory, "t/pragma".
IMHO, this is Beta quality code.
Here's a list of the more significant changes...

Version 5.003_08

This patch was a compendium of various fixes and enhancements from
many people. Here are some of the more significant changes.
CORE LANGUAGE CHANGES
Title: "Make C<no FOO> fail if C<unimport FOO> fails"
From: Tim Bunce
Files: gv.c
Title: "Bitwise op sign rationalization"
(Make bitwise ops result in unsigned values, unless C<use
integer> is in effect. Includes initial support for UVs.)
From: Chip Salzenberg
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
Title: "Defined scoping for C<my> in control structures"
(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.)
From: Chip Salzenberg
Files: op.c perly.c perly.c.diff perly.h perly.y proto.h toke.c
Title: "Fix ++/-- after int conversion (e.g. 'printf "%d"')"
(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.)

Version 5.003_07
----------------
This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed
in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious
testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004.
If it doesn't work for you, try
LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
for Bourne shell users, or
setenv LC_ALL C
for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have
problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests
as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step.
The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for
documentation on the 'w' option.
-untaint support added to IO extension.
o Changes in Core Internals
-Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.)
-Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4.
o Configure and build enhancements
-improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but
they may be right.
-OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
o Bug fixes
-print sort (4,1,3,2);
-group numbers are integers again.
-other things. See the specific changes for details.
o Specific Changes
Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
Index: Changes
Updated for 5.003_07.
Fixed a spelling error.
Index: Configure
Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc.
Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test
program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of
Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the
effect is little.
Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests.
Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one
or the other in the hints file for now.

Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

Version 5.003_06
----------------
This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation,
and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003.
The details are described below. A very brief summary is:
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for
locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod.
Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
-new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be
backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex.
-Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size
%hash.
-__DATA__ filehandle is untainted.
o Changes in Core Internals
-gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03
versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented
as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and
gv_efullname3.
-Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC),
as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility
with 5.003.
o Configure and build enhancements
-many new tests for the standard library.
-test suite now locale-friendly.
-a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods.
o Bug fixes
-whitespace lexer errors fixed.
-many, many other things. See details below.

cd to your perl source directory and then type
patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat
The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is
designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}'
(Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your
csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100

I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
flag.

applied, use this one instead.
The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are

Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl
5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules.
Bugs found in pod2man
The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
without breaking links.]
2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
\f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
of basic functions."'.
Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
modules, when ready, will not have these defects.

Subject: Patch to patch for untainting
The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that
has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a
re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be
considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of
its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method,
then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness.

First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a
miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the
library and the creation of Makefiles for the extensions didn't
work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core.

Subject: Re: "Attempt to free non-existent shared string"? (with patch)
I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used
to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over).
I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is
needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical
hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags.
Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem.
The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private
flag.

----------------
Version 5.003_05
----------------
This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below.
A very brief summary is:
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles.
-times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather
than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some
systems, but should be correct now.
-AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
the same.
o Configure and build enhancements
-Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
[gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
-You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through
the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate
ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently
supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier
for embedders.)
-VMS updates.
-Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only
prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
o Bug fixes
-debugger ought to work.
-A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented
5.003_04 from working most places.
-numerous smaller ones, detailed below.

This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04.
This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05.
To apply this patch, run the above commands,
cd to your perl source directory and then type
patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat
The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is
designed so you can examine each change with a command such as
csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}'
Index: Changes
Updated for 5.003_05.
Index: Configure
Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs.
Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10.
Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well
as older 'domain' directive.
Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have
BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use
[gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible.
Include -s in the -h summary of available options.
Allow command-line override of $afs.
Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10.
Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to
be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.)
When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding
correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct
-R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its
-Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are
welcome.

From: Gurusamy Sarathy
Subject: debugger problems--another patch (was Re: 5.003_04)
I have tried to avoid copying of hash keys that are passed to
magical hashes, but it seems that copying may be unavoidable
since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other
SVs that may get reused) as keys.

Index: installman
From: scotth@sgi.com
Subject: Re: installperl feature request (was: Re: Upgrade 4.0x to 5.001m)
Fix installperl so that the -n option really only prints commands.
(previously, it would still do the mkdirs.)
an "ignore installed" option, so that it doesn't bother to check

Index: lib/AnyDBM_File.pm
AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected)
Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select
order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still
the same.
Add helpful "die" message to end of AnyDBM_File. Previously
it would return a 0, and the failure would eventually show up
somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is
a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression
suite is supposed to indicate this as a failure too.

From: Michael Mahan <mahanm@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu>
Subject: Cwd::fastcwd in File::Find
Is there a good reason why File::Find uses Cwd::fastcwd instead of
Cwd:cwd when fastcwd isn't as portable?
[In particular, fastcwd() doesn't work on AFS.]
Index: lib/Math/Complex.pm
There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that
gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the
argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too
many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that
calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2
in this case.

From: Roderick Schertler
Subject: syslog.pl `use Socket' lossage
syslog.pl tries but fails to use
Socket.pm, the problem is that use doesn't return a true value. This
module should be recast in terms of Sys::Syslog, of course.
Index: makedepend.SH
This patch eliminates "\|" in sed patterns in makedepend.SH, since
they're not really needed anyway in this one case.
Index: mg.c
Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem.
I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually
uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys
to the vtbl_dbline handlers).
Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
the simple MgPVKEY macro.
Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
additional parens around the "mg".
(lines near 584) Part of VMS changes. I don't know what this did.
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 1996 17:20:22 -0400 (EDT)
From: Chip Salzenberg
Subject: Integerize mg.c; eliminate warning on C< local($)) >
This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers
(C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from
C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!.
Index: mg.h
Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with
the simple MgPVKEY macro.
Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add
additional parens around the "mg".

s/FILE_(CNT|PTR)_LVALUE/STDIO_(CNT|PTR)_LVALUE to fix a typo.
This had prevented SV_FAST_FGETS from working anywhere.
Include PerlIO_canset_cnt. I'm not sure how this is supposed to
differ from STDIO_CNT_LVALUE.
Index: pod/Makefile
Remove trailing spaces in pods.
Include a call to the checkpods script in the Makefile (though it's
not ordinarily used by users).
Index: pod/checkpods.PL
New script to check for common errors in pods. This is not
normally called during the perl build process, but you can
use it with B<make check>.

Index: pp_sys.c
Clear any buffer space exposed by by read().
This is almost certainly a bug-fix.
Undef and then re-define my_chsize from Perl_my_chsize to
just plain chsize if this system HAS_CHSIZE. This probably only
applies to SCO. This shows the perils of having internal
functions with the same name as external library functions :-).
Use CLK_TCK if HZ is not available.
Index: sv.c
Fix more spots where we had PerlIO_stderr() and should have had
Perl_debug_log instead.

From: Chip Salzenberg
Subject: Minor potential bug in AV creation
I wasn't the one who originated this patch. But it looks like it
would improve the safety of AV creation.
Remove potentially incorrect casts on PerlIO_set_ptrcnt.
'ptr' is already STDCHAR, which is supposed to be the type of
char used in stdio.h, so we shouldn't have to cast it.

From: Lupe Christoph <lupe@alanya.m.isar.de>
Subject: Perl 5.003.03: race condition in t/lib/io_sock.t
io_sock.t works by forking a subprocess it can communicate with.
It has the subprocess wait for the main process by sleeping 10
seconds or until an alarm arrives.
With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child
has a chance to ignore the alarm signal.
I fixed this by moving the "$SIG{ALRM} = sub {};" up before the
fork. It does not hurt to have the parent ignore alarms, too.

From: Ilya Zakharevich
Subject: updated h2xs
Changes:
a) Docs and examples for -x updated;
b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h
unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error
there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I
inside -F.
c) .h file would be scanned only if needed.
d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ).
e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be
included into POD.
f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated;
g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that
xsubpp would probably choke on such guys).
-x option requires C-Scan-0.3 (releases a couple of minutes ago to
ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/perl
should propagate to CPAN soon).

More choices in the pager war. Unfortunately, we can't rely on
all users agreeing with the Sysadmin's choice, nor can we
assign a default preference order, since opinions vary. If the

at least works, so we'll try whatever Configure found.

----------------
Version 5.003_04
----------------
This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of
the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below.
A very brief summary is:
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and
IO::File::new.
-glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now
it's in the same category as `` and system().
o Configure and build enhancements
-perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases.
-Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default.
Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is
probably what was intended.
-Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates.
o Bug fixes
-SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed.
-Ilya's debugger patch.
-FAKE typeglobs fixed.
-truncate with file name now works.
-lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs
-lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes.
-core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__.
o Specific Changes
Here are the specific file-by-file changes.

we'll take mercy on the poor AIX user and get rid of the screenfulls
of stupid warning messages. Thanks to Hallvard B Furuseth for the fix.

Index: handy.h
Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
symbols the complete set of
/PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
changed appropriately.
The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.
Add notes on perl's internal types, specifically Quad_t and IV.

Use config_h's STRINGIFY macro instead of pre-ANSI "p".
Index: mg.c
Subject: FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)
Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't
so in 5.001n).
The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
which might coerce its first arg to a string.
Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key
weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared
hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a
significant problem.)

The prototype for truncate was changed so that perl won't die

I think it was Tom (as in "tchrist") who brought this up.
Here's a patch that undoes the damage, makes it work with
C<use strict;>, and adds to the testsuite.

Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co.
Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this
should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the
previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX
symbols the complete set of
/PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to
those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard
Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN,
and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are
changed appropriately.
The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad
limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all
works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on.
Add notes on perl's internal types, specifically Quad_t and IV.
Index: perlio.c
Removes an incorrect prototype for setlinebuf from
perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in
MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well).
Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO &
HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen
manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a
different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit
from testing...

Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY
When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY".
Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks
destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive
arenas any more.
This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative
method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify.
It has no effect on normal operation.
Add comment about assert(len >=0) when len is unsigned anyway.

Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs
in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't

The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname()
which might coerce its first arg to a string.

Version 5.003_03
----------------
Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation
process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief
summary is:
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
-Support for tied filehandles.
o Configure enhancements
-How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented
and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms.
o Bug fixes
-Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes.
-If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns
that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps.
-Fix problems with each() on tied hashes.
-Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time
rather than extraction time.
o Specific Changes
Here are the specific file-by-file changes.
# This is my patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl5.003_02

Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines.
Changed usesafe to useopcode.
Add search for gzip and zip.
Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell).
Use that info to set $startsh correctly.
Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL
for how this is supposed to work. The default is
still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use
any fancy new PerlIO stuff.
Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it.
(Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about
race conditions.)
Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of
_filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill.
New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared
libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl.
Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl.
Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD.
Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish
$make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you
choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or
whatever).
Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate
it with 'cp' if necessary.
Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in
Ultrix output.
Autodetect os2.
Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts.
Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful
error messages.
Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test.
Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy()
tests. Note whether memmove is available.
Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5
with -Xc).
Include appropriate header files for randbits test.
Index: INSTALL
Add note about space requirements.
Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe,
useperlio, useshrplib, etc.)
Reorganize the structure of some of the hints.
Miscellaneous clarifications.
Index: MANIFEST
Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly
due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out;
I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST.
Index: Makefile.SH
Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism.
Use new $make_set_make directive.
Remove redundant libperl Make variable.
Remove unnecessary MAB variable.
Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could
well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing
miniperl in the first place!
Index: Porting/Glossary
New file describing all the config.sh variables.
Eventually, I hope to fill this directory with other useful
stuff.
Index: README.os2
Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README.

Index: handy.h
Change safe*alloc functions to have prototypes that
match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use
Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void.
This is necessary so . . .
Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's
malloc/free or the system's malloc/free.

Index: hints/machten_2.sh
Update where to find dld.
Index: hints/mips.sh
Use glibpth instead of libpth.
Index: hints/next_3.sh
Build up $mab dynamically. Since $mab isn't used anywhere
anymore, this is useless. However, $mab was never used for
next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality.
Index: hints/next_4.sh
Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and
Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead.
Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures.
Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will
cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove
the -arch stuff from cppflags.)
Configure now knows next4 needs to use a shared libperl.5.so.
Allow users to use -Dprefix.

Clean up docmentation installation errors.
Index: lib/Symbol.pm
Put back in the BEGIN { require 5.002; }. The version in
5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway. Further, the whole
point of the construct is to catch 5.001m, so we can't use
syntax introduced after 5.001m to do that.

Remove double 'use strict'.
Index: lib/perl5db.pl

Use Configure's $sh and $make_set_make variables.
Index: mg.c
Include <unistd.h>
Use Safefree() macro instead of safefree() function with
a (possibly) incorrect cast. The whole point of the
Safefree() macro is that it does the correct cast for you.

Index: perl.c
Include <unistd.h>
Index: perl.h
No longer prefer bcmp slightly for comparisons that don't care
about ordering.

----------------
Version 5.003_02
----------------
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
- Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings.
- Fixes for ++/-- of values close to max/min size of an integer
- Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}.
- UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method.
o Changes in Core Internals
- PerlIO abstraction added.
Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO
mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros.
Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or
to use sfio if available.
- Several bug fixs from perl5-porters
- Make sources non-ANSI C correct again.
- SUPER in gv.c
- Last of shared-hash-key patches
- eval '(0,1..3)'; # --> SegFault
- coredumps after simple subsitutes.
- Correction to UNIVERSAL::VERSION docs.
- Fixed io_udp test.
- Fixed another abuse of malloc'ed memory.
- Enabled DEBUGING_MSTATS whenever perl's malloc() is used.
- Reverted to default of not hiding perl's malloc (if used).
o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
- Fixed MakeMaker for static SDBM and builing in a link tree.
- Upgraded to IO-1.09, and includes latest (still experimental) IO::Select.
- Documentation/test tweak to DB_File
- h2xs upgrade to allow use C::Scan module
o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
- Attempted to re-created 5.003_01's NeXT support with metaconfig units.
- Updated MANIFEST
- make minitest now depends on lib/Config.pm, as some of tests require it.
- Included latest plan9 sub-directory
- Applied OS/2 patches.
- Typo patch for VMS.
----------------
Version 5.003_01
----------------
Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since
version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately
kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core,
library files, and documentation, this patch contains several
significant revisions, summarized below:
o Visible Changes to Core Functionality
- A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into
the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core
and several common extensions are working.
- A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to
the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every
class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object.
- A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical
variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical
variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable
inaccessible by its name.
- The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow
checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator
can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself.
- A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which
produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references
exist to the internal object implementing the tie.
- Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying
an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left
side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as
well as an alphabetic character.
- Some of the configuration information previously produced by the
-v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v
output concise.
o Changes in Core Internals
- Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster.
- Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now
optimized at compile time into inline constants.
- Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to
conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and
to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified
representations.
- Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another
stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to
present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal
program results.
- A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely,
in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed.
- Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative
array has been made safer.
- Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions
with system C header files or libraries on some platforms.
Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under
previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl
5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C
namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries,
so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004.
After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility
between versions.
- An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's
optional private memory management routines. This strategy,
which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to
conserve memory in programs which allocate many small
chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often
the case in Perl programs.
- Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of
multiple interpreters have been fixed.
o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities
- The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's
access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard
distribution. This extends the work begun in the original
Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still
available.
- The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object-
oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the
standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis
for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will
subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default
class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle,
rather than FileHandle.
- The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set
of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other
applications, has been added to the standard distribution.
- The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface
for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions,
has been added to the standard distribution.
- The FindBin library module, which determines the full path
to the currently executing program, has been added to the
standard distribution.
- The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness,
Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules
have been updated to the authors' latest versions.
- The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when
determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages.
- The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated.
- The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information
provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved,
making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf)
to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls.
- The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution
can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set.
- The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated.
o Changes in Documentation
- Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod
documentation for the core and standard library files
- Explanations of several core operators have been improved
- The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents
extensively revised.
o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support
- Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through
NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs.
- Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes
options for building a.out binaries.
- Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved
processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of

- Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated),
convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated),
irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new),
next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated),
sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated).
- The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set
of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation
they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system).
