-=head1 NAME
-
-perl5161delta - what is new for perl v5.16.1
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This document describes differences between the 5.16.0 release and
-the 5.16.1 release.
-
-If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.14.0, first read
-L<perl5160delta>, which describes differences between 5.14.0 and
-5.16.0.
-
-=head1 Security
-
-=head2 an off-by-two error in Scalar-List-Util has been fixed
-
-The bugfix was in Scalar-List-Util 1.23_04, and perl 5.16.1 includes
-Scalar-List-Util 1.25.
-
-=head1 Incompatible Changes
-
-There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.16.0 If any
-exist, they are bugs, and we request that you submit a report. See
-L</Reporting Bugs> below.

-L<Scalar::Util> and L<List::Util> have been upgraded from version 1.23 to
-version 1.25.
-

-
-L<B::Deparse> has been updated from version 1.14 to 1.14_01. An

-
-Building perl with some Windows compilers used to fail due to a problem
-with miniperl's C<glob> operator (which uses the C<perlglob> program)
-deleting the PATH environment variable [perl #113798].

-
-=item VMS
-
-All C header files from the top-level directory of the distribution are now
-installed on VMS, providing consistency with a long-standing practice on other
-platforms. Previously only a subset were installed, which broke non-core extension
-builds for extensions that depended on the missing include files.

-
-=head1 Selected Bug Fixes
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-A regression introduced in Perl v5.16.0 involving
-C<tr/I<SEARCHLIST>/I<REPLACEMENTLIST>/> has been fixed. Only the first
-instance is supposed to be meaningful if a character appears more than
-once in C<I<SEARCHLIST>>. Under some circumstances, the final instance
-was overriding all earlier ones. [perl #113584]
-
-=item *
-
-C<B::COP::stashlen> has been added. This provides access to an internal
-field added in perl 5.16 under threaded builds. It was broken at the last
-minute before 5.16 was released [perl #113034].
-
-=item *
-
-The L<re> pragma will no longer clobber C<$_>. [perl #113750]
-
-=item *
-
-Unicode 6.1 published an incorrect alias for one of the
-Canonical_Combining_Class property's values (which range between 0 and
-254). The alias C<CCC133> should have been C<CCC132>. Perl now
-overrides the data file furnished by Unicode to give the correct value.
-
-=item *
-
-Duplicating scalar filehandles works again. [perl #113764]
-
-=item *
-
-Under threaded perls, a runtime code block in a regular expression could
-corrupt the package name stored in the op tree, resulting in bad reads
-in C<caller>, and possibly crashes [perl #113060].
-
-=item *
-
-For efficiency's sake, many operators and built-in functions return the
-same scalar each time. Lvalue subroutines and subroutines in the CORE::
-namespace were allowing this implementation detail to leak through.
-C<print &CORE::uc("a"), &CORE::uc("b")> used to print "BB". The same thing
-would happen with an lvalue subroutine returning the return value of C<uc>.
-Now the value is copied in such cases [perl #113044].
-
-=item *
-
-C<__SUB__> now works in special blocks (C<BEGIN>, C<END>, etc.).
-
-=item *
-
-Formats that reference lexical variables from outside no longer result
-in crashes.

-=head1 Known Problems

-There are no new known problems, but consult L<perl5160delta/Known
-Problems> to see those identified in the 5.16.0 release.
-
-=head1 Acknowledgements
-
-Perl 5.16.1 represents approximately 2 months of development since Perl
-5.16.0 and contains approximately 14,000 lines of changes across 96
-files from 8 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 5.16.1:
-
-Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, Father Chrysostomos, Karl
-Williamson, Paul Johnson, Reini Urban, Ricardo Signes, Tony Cook.
-
-The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically
-generated from version control history. In particular, it does not
-include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who
-reported issues to the Perl bug tracker.
-
-Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN
-modules included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN
-community for helping Perl to flourish.
-
-For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors,
-please see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.
-
-=head1 Reporting Bugs
-
-If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles
-recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl
-bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . 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 L<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.
