* B has been upgraded from version 1.42_01 to 1.42_02.
* B::Concise has been upgraded from version 0.95 to 0.95_01.
* English has been upgraded from version 1.06 to 1.06_01. This fixes an error about the performance of $`, $&, and c<$'>.
* File::Glob has been upgraded from version 1.20 to 1.20_01.
Bugs fixed:
* Perl 5.18.1 introduced a regression along with a bugfix for lexical subs. Some B::SPECIAL results from B::CV::GV became undefs instead. This broke Devel::Cover among other libraries.
* Perl 5.18.0 introduced a regression whereby [:^ascii:], if used in the same character class as other qualifiers, would fail to match characters in the Latin-1 block.
* Perl 5.18.0 introduced a regression when using ->SUPER::method with AUTOLOAD by looking up AUTOLOAD from the current package, rather than the current package’s superclass.
* Perl 5.18.0 introduced a regression whereby -bareword was no longer permitted under the strict and integer pragmata when used together.
* Previously PerlIOBase_dup didn't check if pushing the new layer succeeded before (optionally) setting the utf8 flag. This could cause segfaults-by-nullpointer.
* A buffer overflow with very long identifiers has been fixed.
* A regression from 5.16 in the handling of padranges led to assertion failures if a keyword plugin declined to handle the second ‘my’, but only after creating a padop.
* The construct $r=qr/.../; /$r/p is now handled properly, an issue which had been worsened by changes 5.18.0.
* FreeBSD 9.1's dtrace support has -h flag but "dtrace -h -s ../perldtrace.d"
filed with following syntax error.
"/usr/lib/dtrace/psinfo.d", line 37: syntax error near "uid_t"
Adding dtrace support for perl5 on FreeBSD is hasty, I feel.
dtrace support for FreeBSD perl5 is disabled.
