If any -exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome. - -=head1 Selected Bug Fixes - -When strict "refs" mode is off, C<%{...}> in rvalue context returns -C<undef> if its argument is undefined. An optimisation introduced in Perl -5.12.0 to make C<keys %{...}> faster when used as a boolean did not take -this into account, causing C<keys %{+undef}> (and C<keys %$foo> when -C<$foo> is undefined) to be an error, which it should be so in strict -mode only [perl #81750]. - -C<lc>, C<uc>, C<lcfirst>, and C<ucfirst> no longer return untainted strings -when the argument is tainted. This has been broken since perl 5.8.9 -[perl #87336]. - -Fixed a case where it was possible that a freed buffer may have been read -from when parsing a here document. - -=head1 Modules and Pragmata - -L<Module::CoreList> has been upgraded from version 2.43 to 2.50. - -=head1 Testing - -The F<cpan/CGI/t/http.t> test script has been fixed to work when the -environment has HTTPS_* environment variables, such as HTTPS_PROXY. - -=head1 Documentation - -Updated the documentation for rand() in L<perlfunc> to note that it is not -cryptographically secure. - -=head1 Platform Specific Notes - -=over 4 - -=item Linux - -Support Ubuntu 11.04's new multi-arch library layout. - -=back - -=head1 Acknowledgements - -Perl 5.12.4 represents approximately 5 months of development since -Perl 5.12.3 and contains approximately 200 lines of changes across -11 files from 8 authors. - -Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant -community of users and developers.

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 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.
