problems with linking and rpaths, such as the NetBSD manifestation of
PR 47187, and probably others; I haven't tried yet but I suspect at
least my manifestation of PR 44985 will be fixed too.
Enhancements were made to code features such as "use", which now explicitly enables feature bundles, a more consistent "eval" operator, and a revamped "substr" function. The "__SUB__" sequence now returns a reference to the current subroutine, allowing for recursive subroutines to be written more simply. Support for Unicode 6.1 was improved. Many other minor improvements and bugfixes, along with several deprecations, were made
exists already. This is not the case for bulk builds though. This fixes
p5-MARC-Charset, since p5-gdbm ended up without rpath to PREFIX/lib.
Fix some Perl interpreter paths while here. Bump revision.

* Several modules were updated to fix minor bugs.
* Tests were fixed.
* Documentation was improved.
Changes 5.14.0:
* Unicode version 6.0 is now supported.
* Regular expressions can now be reset to the default modifiers.
* Four new regular expression modifiers, "/d", "/l" , "/u", and "/a", were
introduced.
* The substitution operators now support the modifier "/r" to work
non-destructively, leaving the original unmodified.
* Larger octals can now be specified.
* Array and hash operators can now experimentally operate directly on hard
references.
* printf-like functions now understand post-1980 size modifiers.
* Exception handling was made more reliable and consistent.
* Other enhancements and many bug fixes were made
PkgSrc:
* Fixed configuring on Mac OS X 10.7.
From upstream comment:
nm isn't known to work after Snow Leopard and XCode 4; testing with OS X 10.5
and Xcode 3 shows a working nm, but pretending it doesn't work produces no
problems.
From upstream commit log:
Testing from 10.5 with Xcode 3 to the latest OS X works with usenm='false' but
not always with usenm='true'
pkgsrc changes:

We intentionally wire down the 'libswanted' list in the package Makefile, so
don't let the hints file add new libraries that may be found outside Pkgsrc
control.
Fixes build on Gentoo and SuSE systems, and possibly other Linux systems too
that might have stray -lgdbm_compat libraries lying around.
pkgsrc changes:
- preparing for databases/p5-gdbm (using Makefile.common)
- supporting external access to perl install dirs (dirs.mk)
- fixing some errors/warnings from pkglint
- adding conflict to packages of CPAN modules which are in Perl5 code
on the one hand and are broken with perl-5.10+
Bumping PKGREVISION (dependencies changed, rebuild highly recommended).
Recursive rebuild is not required.
Pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust some patches
- Remove patches integrated upstream
- Use Perl's "Policy.sh" framework (along the way remove some patches)
- Link in an enterprise friendly way on HPUX
- in buildlink3.mk bump minimum required pkgsrc Perl version to
5.12.0
- placate some pkglint warnings
Upstream changes:
- From version 5.12.1 announce
This release contains minor bug fixes and updates of several core
modules, as well as minor documentation updates. It should be fully
backward compatible with Perl 5.12.0.
- From version 5.12.0 announce:
Perl 5.12.0 represents approximately two years of development since
version 5.10.0 and contains over 750,000 lines of changes across over
3,000 files from over 200 authors and committers.
[...]
Notable changes in Perl 5.12 include:
* Perl now conforms much more closely to the Unicode standard.
Additionally, this release includes an upgrade to version
5.2 of the standard.
* New experimental APIs allow developers to extend Perl with
"pluggable" keywords and syntax.
* Perl now has a better sense of time and will be able to keep
accurate time well past the "Y2038" barrier.
* New syntax allows developers to specify package version numbers
directly in "package" statements
* Perl now warns the user about the use of deprecated features
by default.

don't let the hints file add new libraries that may be found outside Pkgsrc
control.
Fixes build on Gentoo system, and possibly other Linux systems too that might
have stray -lgdbm_compat libraries lying around. This reverts hints/linux.sh
to look more like it did in 5.10.0.
Pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust some patches
- Remove patches integrated upstream
Upstream changes:
"5.10.1 is a maintenance release for perl 5.10, incorporating various
minor bugfixes and optimisations."
Nonetheless some incompatibles changes are noteworthy and are related
to:
- flip-flop and defined-or operators behavior in switch statement
- type-based dispatch and overloading of the smart match operator
- 'use feature :5.10*' semantics
- Perl development switched to git
- internal structure of the ext/ perl source directory changed
- removal of the modules Test::Harness::Straps, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes
and ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish
- the Module::CoreList module no longer contains the %:patchlevel hash
- a bugfix related to the handling of the /m modifier and qr resulted
in a change of behaviour between 5.8.x and 5.10.0 (this was missing from
perl 5.10.0 perldelta).

$HOME's parent directory isn't readable by an unprivileged user.
Tested on Linux with unprivileged pkgsrc (DreamHost, where the
problem was encountered) and on Mac OS X with a more typical setup.
A large number of packages have had their internal regression tests
run successfully with this update, including mod_perl for Apache.
Pkgsrc changes: a number of our local patches are no longer needed.
