The major changes made in 5.12.0 are described in L<perl5120delta>. - -=head1 Incompatible Changes - - There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.12.2. If any - exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome. - -=head1 Core Enhancements - -=head2 C<keys>, C<values> work on arrays - -You can now use the C<keys>, C<values>, C<each> builtin functions on arrays -(previously you could only use them on hashes). See L<perlfunc> for details. -This is actually a change introduced in perl 5.12.0, but it was missed from -that release's perldelta. - -=head1 Bug Fixes - -"no VERSION" will now correctly deparse with B::Deparse, as will certain -constant expressions. - -Module::Build should be more reliably pass its tests under cygwin. - -Lvalue subroutines are again able to return copy-on-write scalars. This -had been broken since version 5.10.0. - -=head1 Platform Specific Notes - -=over 4 - -=item Solaris - -A separate DTrace is now build for miniperl, which means that perl can be -compiled with -Dusedtrace on Solaris again. - -=item VMS - -A number of regressions on VMS have been fixed. In addition to minor cleanup -of questionable expressions in F<vms.c>, file permissions should no longer be -garbled by the PerlIO layer, and spurious record boundaries should no longer be -introduced by the PerlIO layer during output. - -For more details and discussion on the latter, see: - - http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.vmsperl/2010/11/msg15419.html - -=item VOS - -A few very small changes were made to the build process on VOS to better -support the platform. Longer-than-32-character filenames are now supported on -OpenVOS, and build properly without IPv6 support. - -=back - -=head1 Acknowledgements - -Perl 5.12.3 represents approximately four months of development since -Perl 5.12.2 and contains approximately 2500 lines of changes across -54 files from 16 authors. - -Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant -community of users and developers. The following people are known to -have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.12.3: - -Craig A.

There may also be -information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. - -If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the B<perlbug> -program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down -to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the -output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be -analysed by the Perl porting team. - -If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it -inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send -it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription -unarchived mailing list, which includes -all the core committers, who will be able -to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help -co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all -platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for -security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently -distributed on CPAN. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -The F<Changes> file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details -on what changed. - -The F<INSTALL> file for how to build Perl. - -The F<README> file for general stuff. - -The F<Artistic> and F<Copying> files for copyright information. - -=cut |
