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.

2011-10-02 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
Release 1.17.
Gisle Aas (6):
Less noisy 'git status' output
Merge pull request #1 from schwern/bug/require_eval
Don't clobber $@ in Digest->new [RT#50663]
More meta info added to Makefile.PL
Fix typo in RIPEMD160 [RT#50629]
Add schwern's test files
Michael G. Schwern (5):
Turn on strict.
Convert tests to use Test::More
Untabify
Turn Digest::Dummy into a real file which exercises the Digest->new() require logic.
Close the eval "require $module" security hole in Digest->new($algorithm)
assembler to adapt them to the distance. m68k gas appears not to do
that for fpu branch insns, resulting in an out-of-range FPU assembler
branch instruction error in "ext/re/re_exec.c".
As a workaround, building with "-Os" instead of "-O2" reduces the size
of the object file enough to allow short branches.
See PR toolchain/45439.
* 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.

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'

Upstream changes:
Incompatible Changes
There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.12.1.
If any exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.
Core Enhancements
Other than the bug fixes listed below, there should be no
user-visible changes to the core language in this release.
Modules and Pragmata
New Modules and Pragmata
This release does not introduce any new modules or pragmata.
Pragmata Changes
In the previous release, no VERSION; statements triggered a bug
which could cause feature bundles to be loaded and strict mode
to be enabled unintentionally.
Updated Modules
Carp
Upgraded from version 1.16 to 1.17.
Carp now detects incomplete caller() overrides and avoids using bogus
@DB::args. To provide backtraces, Carp relies on particular behaviour
of the caller built-in. Carp now detects if other code has overridden
this with an incomplete implementation, and modifies its backtrace
accordingly. Previously incomplete overrides would cause incorrect
values in backtraces (best case), or obscure fatal errors (worst case)
This fixes certain cases of Bizarre copy of ARRAY caused by modules
overriding caller() incorrectly.
CPANPLUS
A patch to cpanp-run-perl has been backported from CPANPLUS 0.9004.
This resolves [perl #55964] and [perl #57106], both of which related
to failures to install distributions that use Module::Install::DSL.
File::Glob
A regression which caused a failure to find CORE::GLOBAL::glob after
loading File::Glob to crash has been fixed. Now, it correctly falls
back to external globbing via pp_glob.
File::Copy
File::Copy::copy(FILE, DIR) is now documented.
File::Spec
Upgraded from version 3.31 to 3.31_01.
Several portability fixes were made in File::Spec::VMS: a colon is now
recognized as a delimiter in native filespecs; caret-escaped
delimiters are recognized for better handling of extended filespecs;
catpath() returns an empty directory rather than the current
directory if the input directory name is empty; abs2rel() properly
handles Unix-style input.
Utility Changes
* perlbug now always gives the reporter a chance to change the email
address it guesses for them.
* perlbug should no longer warn about uninitialized values when using
the -d and -v options.
Changes to Existing Documentation
* The existing policy on backward-compatibility and deprecation has
been added to perlpolicy, along with definitions of terms like
deprecation.
* "srand" in perlfunc's usage has been clarified.
* The entry for "die" in perlfunc was reorganized to emphasize its role
in the exception mechanism.
* Perl's INSTALL file has been clarified to explicitly state that Perl
requires a C89 compliant ANSI C Compiler.
* IO::Socket's getsockopt() and setsockopt() have been documented.
* alarm()'s inability to interrupt blocking IO on Windows has been
documented.
* Math::TrulyRandom hasn't been updated since 1996 and has been removed
as a recommended solution for random number generation.
* perlrun has been updated to clarify the behaviour of octal flags to
perl.
* To ease user confusion, $# and $*, two special variables that were
removed in earlier versions of Perl have been documented.
* The version of perlfaq shipped with the Perl core has been updated
from the official FAQ version, which is now maintained in the
briandfoy/perlfaq branch of the Perl repository at
git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git.
Installation and Configuration Improvements
Configuration improvements
* The d_u32align configuration probe on ARM has been fixed.
Compilation improvements
* An "incompatible operand types" error in ternary expressions when
building with clang has been fixed.
* Perl now skips setuid File::Copy tests on partitions it detects to
be mounted as nosuid.
Selected Bug Fixes
* A possible segfault in the T_PRTOBJ default typemap has been fixed.
* A possible memory leak when using caller() to set @DB::args has been
fixed.
* Several memory leaks when loading XS modules were fixed.
* unpack() now handles scalar context correctly for %32H and %32u,
fixing a potential crash. split() would crash because the third item
on the stack wasn't the regular expression it expected.
unpack("%2H", ...) would return both the unpacked result and the
checksum on the stack, as would unpack("%2u", ...). [perl #73814]
* Perl now avoids using memory after calling free() in pp_require when
there are CODEREFs in @INC.
* A bug that could cause "Unknown error" messages when
"call_sv(code, G_EVAL)" is called from an XS destructor has been fixed.
* The implementation of the open $fh, '>' \$buffer feature now supports
get/set magic and thus tied buffers correctly.
* The pp_getc, pp_tell, and pp_eof opcodes now make room on the stack
for their return values in cases where no argument was passed in.
* When matching unicode strings under some conditions inappropriate
backtracking would result in a Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal)
error. This should no longer occur. See [perl #75680]
Platform Specific Notes
AIX
* README.aix has been updated with information about the XL C/C++ V11
compiler suite.
Windows
* When building Perl with the mingw64 x64 cross-compiler incpath,
libpth, ldflags, lddlflags and ldflags_nolargefiles values in
Config.pm and Config_heavy.pl were not previously not being set
correctly because, with that compiler, the include and lib
directories are not immediately below $(CCHOME).
VMS
* git_version.h is now installed on VMS. This was an oversight in
v5.12.0 which caused some extensions to fail to build.
* Several memory leaks in stat() have been fixed.
* A memory leak in Perl_rename() due to a double allocation has been
fixed.
* A memory leak in vms_fid_to_name() (used by realpath() and
realname()) has been fixed.
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.

perl5121delta(1) or http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5120delta.html and
http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5121delta.html
This avoids error messages from "perllink" while deinstalling (or
updateing) a Perl module package.
Fixed based on an analysis provided by Steven Drake on "tech-pkg".
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).
For a complete list of changes see included perl5101delta(1) or
http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5101delta.html
$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.
