--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2006-645 2006-06-05 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 5 Name : perl Version : 5.8.8 Release : 5 Summary : The Perl programming language Description : Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts. Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Jun 1 2006 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 4:5.8.8-5 - Fix upstream perl bug 38454: 'rindex corrects for $[ on bytes rather than UTF-8' apply upstream patch #27116 - Fix upstream perl bug 24816: 'Magic vars seem unsure if they are purely numeric' ( perl -wle 'print $? = $? ^ "3"' -> 'Argument "^C" isn't numeric' ) apply upstream patch #27391 - Avoid writing over the input string in the case 'F' in moreswitches. apply upstream patch #27426 - Fix upstream perl bug 34925 - 'overload and rebless' - apply upstream patches #27509, #27512 - Fix upstream perl bug 3038 - '$qr = qr/^a$/m; $x =~ $qr; fails' apply upstream patch #27604 - apply upstream patch #27605 - 'Fix off-by-one in $0 set magic.' - Fix upstream perl bug 23141 - '($_) = () fails to set $_ to undef' apply upstream patch #27914 - Fix upstream perl bug 38619 - 'Bug in lc and uc (interaction between UTF-8, substr, and lc/uc)' apply upstream patch #27329 - Give users the '-R' option to disable the Red Hat module compatibility default search path extension (incpush.patch). * Thu May 11 2006 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 4:5.8.8-5 - Fix bug 191416: make h2ph generate correct code for cpp statements like: '#if defined A || defined B' - Fix 172396.patch for non-threaded builds * Wed Apr 12 2006 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx> - 4:5.8.8-5 - Fix bug 188841: make CGI.pm's url(-relative) handle rewrites --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/5/ 927a496d839321546152348579a4a258259a1149 SRPMS/perl-5.8.8-5.src.rpm 927a496d839321546152348579a4a258259a1149 noarch/perl-5.8.8-5.src.rpm 8f2779fb55077d36d680ab74adcdb28b1dad2033 ppc/perl-5.8.8-5.ppc.rpm ace7c096a59fde0a2a8c46a26c47ad43a7e2375e ppc/perl-suidperl-5.8.8-5.ppc.rpm 2ab94fd332415a31ccd13428bde309c0b2cb6794 ppc/debug/perl-debuginfo-5.8.8-5.ppc.rpm 6920dbc49c2c5f5d7c3977c446b80592951968bb x86_64/perl-suidperl-5.8.8-5.x86_64.rpm 6ffe6a4bea8a9b153391149a9376f1c1fabee3c4 x86_64/debug/perl-debuginfo-5.8.8-5.x86_64.rpm 35fd99b74e9fe29c2a00c9eb91db1d0be0106c4e x86_64/perl-5.8.8-5.x86_64.rpm 8fd9f7ce95180e62524b79429fe1947eb62ebd75 i386/perl-suidperl-5.8.8-5.i386.rpm 25f5fc59475fce45a0c410438351b96f9112df3e i386/perl-5.8.8-5.i386.rpm 9b14195c0c81cd78a9f14e26f7bac6430f13d759 i386/debug/perl-debuginfo-5.8.8-5.i386.rpm This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program.
