|

!$x < $y # parsed as: (!$x) < $y
|
||||
!$x eq $y # parsed as: (!$x) eq $y
|
||||
!$x =~ /regex/ # parsed as: (!$x) =~ /regex/
|
||||
!$obj isa Some::Class # parsed as: (!$obj) isa Some::Class
|
||||
|
||||
but because C<!> has higher precedence than comparison operators, C<=~>, and
|
||||
C<isa>, this is interpreted as comparing/matching the logical negation of the
|
||||
first operand, instead of negating the result of the comparison/match.
|
||||
|
||||
To disambiguate, either use a negated comparison/binding operator:
|
||||
|
||||
$x >= $y
|
||||
$x ne $y
|
||||
$x !~ /regex/
|
||||

!($x < $y)
|

!($x eq $y)
|
||||
!($x =~ /regex/)
|
||||
!($obj isa Some::Class)
|
||||
|

... or the low-precedence C<not> operator:
|
||||
|
||||
not $x < $y
|
||||
not $x eq $y
|
||||
not $x =~ /regex/
|
||||
not $obj isa Some::Class
|
||||
|
||||
(If you did mean to compare the boolean result of negating the first operand,
|
||||
parenthesize as C<< (!$x) < $y >>, C<< (!$x) eq $y >>, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
(This warning subsumes the C<Possible precedence problem on isa operator>
|
||||
warning from the previous perl release.)

C<op_dump()> now also has the facility to print extra debugging information

C<pack("p", ...)> and C<pack("P", ...)> now SvPV_force() the supplied
|

SV unless it is read only. This will remove CoW from the SV and
|
||||
prevents code that writes through the generated pointer from modifying
|
||||
the value of other SVs that happen the share the same CoWed string
|
||||
buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: this does not make C<pack("p",... )> safe, if the SV is magical
|
||||
then any writes to the buffer will likely be discarded on the next
|
||||
read. [L<GH #22380|https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22380>]

Using C<goto> to tail call, or using the call_sv() and related APIs to

call, any of trim(), refaddr(), reftype(), ceil(), floor() or
|

stringify() in the C<builtin::> package would crash or assert due to a
|

C<TARG> handling bug. [L<GH #22542|https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22542>]
|
||||
|
||||
=item *
|
||||
|
||||
Fix sv_gets() to accept a C<SSize_t> append offset instead of C<I32>.
|
||||
This prevents integer overflows when appending to a large C<SV> for
|
||||
C<readpipe> aka C<qx//> and C<readline>.

L<https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11161665>
|

|

=item *
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed an issue where `utf8n_to_uvchr` failed to correctly identify
|
||||
certain invalid UTF-8 sequences as invalid. Specifically, sequences
|
||||
that start with continuation bytes or unassigned bytes could cause
|
||||
unexpected behavior or a panic. This fix ensures that such invalid
|
||||
sequences are now properly detected and handled. This correction
|
||||
also resolves related issues in modules that handle UTF-8 processing,
|
||||
such as `Encode.pm`.

=head1 Acknowledgements
|
||||
|
||||
Perl 5.41.4 represents approximately 3 weeks of development since Perl
|
||||
5.41.3 and contains approximately 5,800 lines of changes across 400 files
|
||||
from 20 authors.
|
||||
|
||||
Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
|
||||
approximately 3,700 lines of changes to 290 .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 5.41.4:
|
||||
|
||||
Andrei Horodniceanu, Antanas Vaitkus, Aristotle Pagaltzis, Craig A. Berry,
|
||||
David Cantrell, David Mitchell, E. Choroba, Ed J, Eric Herman, Graham Knop,
|
||||
James E Keenan, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Lukas Mai, Masahiro Honma,
|
||||
Paul Evans, Philippe Bruhat (BooK), Sisyphus, 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
|
||||

=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.

=head2 Module removals
|

|
||||
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.

The list of new and updated modules is modified automatically as part of

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

you're summarising the important changes in the module update. (Also, if the

manually-added details don't match the automatically-generated ones, the

unexpected behavior or a panic. This fix ensures that such invalid

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 5.41.4:
|
||||
|
||||
Andrei Horodniceanu, Antanas Vaitkus, Aristotle Pagaltzis, Craig A. Berry,
|
||||
David Cantrell, David Mitchell, E. Choroba, Ed J, Eric Herman, Graham Knop,

James E Keenan, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Lukas Mai, Masahiro Honma,
|
||||
Paul Evans, Philippe Bruhat (BooK), Sisyphus, 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.
