- fix CPAN #50763: mistaken use of $[
(thanks to Zefram for spotting this)
- remove spurious PUSHMARK from Perl_ppaddr_t
(thanks to Gerard Goossen for providing a patch)
- improved support for newer compilers in buildperl.pl
(thanks to Philippe Bruhat (BooK) for providing a patch)
- added support for the following API
memEQs
memNEs
- lots of small toolchain updates
- fix a warning emitted by the test suite with older perls
- added support for the following API
newSVpvs_share
get_cvn_flags
get_cvs
(thanks to Goro Fuji for providing a patch to
implement all of these, fixes CPAN #47174)
- keep up with latest core changes
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
Perl's API has changed over time, gaining new features, new functions,
increasing its flexibility, and reducing the impact on the C
namespace environment (reduced pollution). The header file written
by this module, typically ppport.h, attempts to bring some of the
newer Perl API features to older versions of Perl, so that you can
worry less about keeping track of old releases, but users can still
reap the benefit.
Devel::PPPort contains a single function, called WriteFile. Its
only purpose is to write the ppport.h C header file. This file
contains a series of macros and, if explicitly requested, functions
that allow XS modules to be built using older versions of Perl.
Currently, Perl versions from 5.003 to 5.10.0 are supported.
This module is used by h2xs to write the file ppport.h.
