perl5416delta - what is new for perl v5.41.6

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes differences between the 5.41.5 release and the 5.41.6
|
||||
release.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.41.4, first read
|
||||
L<perl5415delta>, which describes differences between 5.41.4 and 5.41.5.

Code that uses the C<indexed> function from the L<builtin> module to generate
|
||||
a list of index/value pairs out of array which is then passed into a
|
||||
two-variable C<foreach> list to unpack those again is now optimised to be more
|
||||
efficient.
|
||||
|
||||
my @array = (...);
|
||||
|
||||
foreach my ($idx, $val) (builtin::indexed @array) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
In particular, a temporary list twice the size of the original
|
||||
array is no longer generated. Instead, the list iterates down the array
|
||||
in-place directly, in the same way that C<foreach (@array)> would do.

It now retains parens around logical negations on the left-hand side of

comparisons (such as C<(!$x) == $y>) because omitting them would trigger a

There is now a way to pass lexical filehandles to child processes directly

(instead of having the module create a pipe internally). Previously, only

bareword filehandles could be used in "dup mode".

correctly.

The perl parser would erroneously parse like C<=cut> some other POD directives
|
||||
whose names start with I<cut>, prematurely terminating an embedded POD section.
|
||||
The following cases were affected: I<cut> followed by a digit (e.g.
|
||||
C<=cut2studio>), I<cut> followed by an underscore (e.g. C<=cut_grass>), and in
|
||||
string C<eval>, any identifier starting with I<cut> (e.g. C<=cute>).

|

|

C<cygwin> builds may fail during testing due to a conflict between the
|
||||
load addresses of F<cygperl5_41_6.dll> and
|
||||
F<olib/auto/I18N/Langinfo/Langinfo.dll>. This will also be visible
|
||||
for anything that attempts to fork() with C<I18N::LangInfo> loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
This is known to fail for builds with options that increase the size
|
||||
of the binary, such as C<-DDEBUGGING>, C<-Doptimize="-O0 -g"> or
|
||||
C<-Doptimize="-O2 -g -march=x86-64-v2">.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be avoided by building perl with
|
||||
C<-Astatic_ext=I18N/Langinfo>.
|
||||
|
||||
The base addresses are generated by the linker based on the names of
|
||||
the DLLs, so this is expected to clear up for 5.41.7.

=head1 Acknowledgements
|
||||
|
||||
Perl 5.41.6 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl
|
||||
5.41.5 and contains approximately 8,400 lines of changes across 180 files
|
||||
from 14 authors.
|
||||
|
||||
Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
|
||||
approximately 6,700 lines of changes to 120 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
|
||||
|
||||
Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant
|
||||
community of users and developers. The following people are known to have
|
||||
contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.41.6:
|
||||
|
||||
Chad Granum, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Daniel Dragan, David Mitchell, Graham
|
||||
Knop, James E Keenan, Karl Williamson, Lukas Mai, Marin Tsanov, Paul Evans,
|
||||
pyrrhlin, Richard Leach, Thibault Duponchelle, Tony Cook.
|
||||
|
||||
The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically
|
||||
generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include
|
||||
the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to
|
||||
the Perl bug tracker.
|
||||
|
||||
Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
|
||||
included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
|
||||
helping Perl to flourish.
|
||||
|
||||
For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please
|
||||
see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.

=head1 Reporting Bugs
|
||||
|
||||
If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database
|
||||
at L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>. There may also be information at
|
||||
L<https://www.perl.org/>, the Perl Home Page.
|
||||
|
||||
If you believe you have an unreported bug, please open an issue at
|
||||
L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>. Be sure to trim your bug down to a
|
||||
tiny but sufficient test case.
|
||||
|
||||
If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it
|
||||
inappropriate to send to a public issue tracker, then see
|
||||
L<perlsec/SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION>
|
||||
for details of how to report the issue.

=head1 Give Thanks
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5,
|
||||
you can do so by running the C<perlthanks> program:
|
||||
|
||||
perlthanks
|

This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks.

|

|

XXX Remove this section if not applicable.
|

|

The following modules will be removed from the core distribution in a

future release, and will at that time need to be installed from CPAN.
|
||||
Distributions on CPAN which require these modules will need to list them as
|
||||
prerequisites.
|
||||
|
||||
The core versions of these modules will now issue C<deprecated>-category
|
||||
warnings to alert you to this fact. To silence these deprecation warnings,
|
||||
install the modules in question from CPAN.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that these are (with rare exceptions) fine modules that you are encouraged
|
||||
to continue to use. Their disinclusion from core primarily hinges on their
|
||||
necessity to bootstrapping a fully functional, CPAN-capable Perl installation,
|
||||
not usually on concerns over their design.

preparing a Perl release, so the only reason to manually add entries here is if

C<cygwin> builds may fail during testing due to a conflict between the
|

load addresses of F<cygperl5_41_6.dll> and
|
||||
F<olib/auto/I18N/Langinfo/Langinfo.dll>. This will also be visible
|
||||
for anything that attempts to fork() with C<I18N::LangInfo> loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
This is known to fail for builds with options that increase the size
|
||||
of the binary, such as C<-DDEBUGGING>, C<-Doptimize="-O0 -g"> or
|
||||
C<-Doptimize="-O2 -g -march=x86-64-v2">.

|

This can be avoided by building perl with

C<-Astatic_ext=I18N/Langinfo>.

the DLLs, so this is expected to clear up for 5.41.7.

Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant
|

community of users and developers. The following people are known to have
|

contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.41.6:

Chad Granum, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Daniel Dragan, David Mitchell, Graham
|

Knop, James E Keenan, Karl Williamson, Lukas Mai, Marin Tsanov, Paul Evans,

The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically
|

generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include
|

the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to
|
||||
the Perl bug tracker.
|
||||
|
||||
Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
|
||||
included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
|
||||
helping Perl to flourish.
