typo-fix and suggestion for perlguts.pod
In the description of 'Stashes and Globs', perlguts suggests that
a GV contains references to both a File Handle and a Directory
Handle. I think it would be more accurate to replace these with a
single item such as 'I/O Handle', since that is what is stored in
the GP itself (ie at the same level as the other things mentioned).
Patch attached also fixes a minor typo. This is over perl5.004m5t1.

I'd vote for consistency with Perl 5. Rationale: consider
*foo = some_complicated_expression_returning_undef();
Is that undef an undef that might have been a code ref, so we should
unset the CV, or is it an undef which might have been a hash ref, so ...
Alternatively we try to interpret it as an undef which might have been
a string, and it should do the same as *foo = '' (which seems to do
something rather weird ... ).
None of these make much sense, so doing nothing seems best.
And as for Perl 4 behaviour, do you really want compatibility with this?

But in any case, a perltrap entry is needed. Patch attached.
(The patch also deletes a spurious example, which isn't an example of
the trap being discussed.)

Agreed. I've included two variations on a re-worded version. The first is
more general (doesn't name specific operating systems), while the second is
a little more helpful, IMHO, to the average beginner who has just started
to think about locking.

Here's a proposed patch to the docs. It's a little smaller than what you
had, but I think it covers the most important points. Let me know if you
think I've left out anything vital. Thanks for the suggestion!

perlre.pod
Recently I was reading the perlre.pod wrt zero-width negative lookahead and
found it somewhat confusing and, as far as I can see, just plain wrong at the
end. This patch clears up both the confusion and the error.
The beginning of the paragraph is talking about 'foo' not followed by 'bar'.
The lookbehind discussion then talked about 'bar' preceeded by something which
is not 'foo'. I've change it instead to be the parallel 'bar' not preceeded by
'foo'. This, of course triggered a change in the next-to-last regex. The
final regex was, I think, wrong. It now matches with the discussion preceeding
it.

True. OTOH perlfunc/utime is actively misleading on this point.

Call me stupid, but nowhere in the manpage was I able to find the fact
that alternatives are not greedy but instead try to match from left
to right.

Patch follows. It uses SYS$LOGIN as the "home" directory, since it's too
much of a pain to access the SYSUAF entry.

Building Perl on AIX 4+ with shared libraries and dynamic loading
To whom it may concern,
I'm in the process of compiling/installing Perl 5.004_01 (yes, I know, I
should have done it ages ago :) for AIX 4.1.x and I found that the
problems I reported in November 96 (search Dejanews for article
<567m0g$g...@sifon.cc.mcgill.ca> in comp.lang.perl.misc) are still present,
but not the solutions. In essence, the problem results from a change in
the default alignment of the text, data and loader sections in the shared
libraries and executables. The only modification to the source are in
hints/aix.sh. I include the unified diff below.
Hoping you find this babble of some use,

Got it -- blib.pm was expecting Unix syntax, so passed a mixed VMS-Unix syntax
filespec into do_fileify_dirspec(), which triggered an infinite recursion.
Patch appended.
Normally these routines don't look to see whether the input is mixed VMS-Unix
(GIGO), but this is an unusually nasty case, so the patch includes a check
for it.

hpux.sh hints file clarification suggestion
Line 47 of the hpux.sh hints file indicates a work-around for
fixing a "too much defining problem". I would like to offer a
clarification to this for those who may not be aware that the
information listed is a SINGLE ccflag entry, not a list of entries
(separated by commas). The original and suggested clarifications
are list below:
ORIGINAL:
# If you get a message about "too much defining", you might have to
# add the following to your ccflags: '-Wp,-H256000'
# If you get a message about "too much defining", as may happen
# in HPUX < 10, you might have to append a single entry to your
# ccflags: '-Wp,-H256000'
# NOTE: This is a single entry (-W takes the argument 'p,-H256000').
Hopefully with the official end of HPUX 9.X support in Dec. 1998,
this will no longer be much of a problem. You can't imagine how much
time I spent with variations of this ccflag before I got it to work.
This may be due to by newness to cc flags in 9.X, but who knows...
Thanks,

New Text::ParseWords
I've finally taken the time to fix several embarassing problems with
Text::ParseWords (most of them caused by yours truly). This version
should be included in the Perl distribution as soon as humanly
possible.
Bugs fixed in this release include (but are not limited to):
-- Handling of trailing null fields and fields
resolving to "false"
-- Unpaired backslashes no longer cause syntax errors
-- No Carp dependencies, does not die() on error
-- No longer an autoloader, since use of the module
generally requires 80-90% of the module be loaded anyway
Functional improvements/changes include
-- new @nested_quotewords() function which returns list
of lists, rather than a single long list
-- parsing is no longer a character-by-character affair,
so performance is significantly improved
-- semantics of $keep are expanded to include /bin/sh-like
collapsing of backslashes and special "delimiters" keyword
for preserving delimiters in addition to tokens
-- additional documentation included, documentation updated
-- many more regression tests in parsewords.t
It's better in all ways and I'm tired of fielding bug reports on the old
version. Let's use this one!

Fixed Text/Wrap.pm bugs (2)
I recently found two bugs with Text::Wrap::wrap().
A) Use of /m attribute
----------------------
This causes long words to be moved to end of document.
The example below shows a two test runs with old and new code.
B) long word split and die
--------------------------
You currently still die if a long word on the first line exists.
The long words split code only operates on subsequent lines.
After a bit of thought and a chat with Tim Bunce (on the other side of
the room) I decided to restructure the logic to simplify things a bit.
I believe that the output should not have changed for typical usage but
would appreciate more thorough testing.

Additional regex-cache patch
Trial 1 of 5.004_05 includes a patch from me that partially fixes a
bug with detection of duplicate regexes. At the time I made the
patch, I thought a complete fix was impossible. However, Ilya has
just pointed out to me that it is possible after all.
Therefore, this patch should be added to to 5.004_05 and also to the
dev track.

This patch disables magic names in inplace mode. I tested it on a

"echo abc|~".

This is due to the reuse of TARG _within_ an op. vec() also suffers from
it. Other ops may have the problem also, but I haven't gone looking. Of
course, since the problem is a conservative one ("too much paranoia"),
there's no cause for alarm.

File::Find rewrite
This combines find and finddepth into one function. The main advantage
is that this change allows addition of other configuration options (when
I posted an experimental patch earlier people found 8-10 different options
they wanted from find) except "bydepth" at later time.
Additional advantage is that this merge simplifies maintainance by reducing
number of mostly identical code.
Additionally, with this patch Config.pm and File::Basename will be required
only if needed.
Here is the speed comparison: on test runs over a directory with 65000
files in 4300 subdirectories the deviation of runtime (either with or
without the patch, after 3 runs to suck all into HD cache) was +-0.5%,
and the slowdown after the patch is applied is circa 1%, so the

bug in Class::Struct
I am detached from the net and am consequently unable to test the
following situaton with any later releases, but at least under 5.004_01,
the Class::Struct module has a brief but critical bug. It isn't testing
against the proper class when assigning to a structure element that is
a class.
This can be demo'd in the following pair of samples. This one worked ok:
use Class::Struct qw(struct);
my($folks, $dad);
struct Person => [name => '$', age => '$'];
struct Family => {head => 'Person', homes => '@'};
$folks = 'Family'->new();
$dad = $folks->head;
$dad->name("John");
$dad->age("34");
printf("%s's age is %d\n", $folks->head->name, $folks->head->age);
But this one blows up:
use Class::Struct qw(struct);
my($folks, $dad);
struct Person => [name => '$', age => '$'];
struct Family => {head => 'Person', homes => '@'};
$folks = 'Family'->new();
$dad = 'Person'->new();
$dad->name("John");
$dad->age("34");
$folks->head($dad);
printf("%s's age is %d\n", $folks->head->name, $folks->head->age);
The following one-word patch fixes the problem.

fix for "Unbalanced string table refcount"
There was a hole in the refcounting of GvSTASH(), illustrated by
this testcase (run under PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL=1):
$bar = *a; $foo = *bar; $bar = *foo; $bar = ""; $foo = "";
defstash is never destroyed as a result of this, and the
the string-table remains populated till the very end.
Now the testsuite should run clean under PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL
except for the two "Scalars leaked" messages.

Log Message:

Allow more lenient switch processing
This patch fixes two things:
1. scripts beginning with #! that mention perl on the first line
and have a -i flag stop reading flags after the -i. So,
#! perl -iorig -nl
won't see the -nl
2. On AIX (shudder), scripts that start like #!/bin/perl -l -n -s
and are executed directly die with
Unrecognized switch: - -n -s (-h will show valid options).
This is because on AIX, what gets run is
/bin/perl '-l -n -s' <script_name>
I don't think it does any harm to allow args like '-l -n -s', with
single blanks between flags to be valid, since presently they
aren't. Two blanks between switches ends switch processing.
But perhaps it shouldn't. Another thing that really bothers me
is the double switch processing that goes on with #! lines: first
when argv is scanned and again when the #! line is scanned. It
really shouldn't happen, and can cause unexpected results. Toke.c
should probably skip over the first part of the #! line that
exactly matches argv[1]. I think that was Chip's idea from a
while back.
The patch does _not_ fix the error msg that results from
#!/bin/perl -z
Can't emulate -z on #! line at /tmp/t line 1.
This msg should be "Invalid option -z on #! line ...", but I presume
other valid options can't be emulated on the #! line, hence this msg.
I'm a bit confused by the split option handling duties shared by the
reswitch code and the moreswitches sub in perl.c, so I'm not sure what
the right thing to do is. It looks like moreswitches is mainly for
#! line flag processing, but does double duty for argv switch processing.
I considered making moreswitches take an additional arg that tells it
whether it's doing argv or #! processing, but became lazy: but in a
bad way :)
[ This morass of switch processing code should be rewritten, IMOSVHO.
And much better commented. ]

Okay. :-)
This patch changes the text of the warning given when warnings are on and
a hash is initialized with a single element which is either a hashref or
arrayref, typically like this.
%hash = { qw/ I used curlies instead of parens / };
%hash = [ qw/ This mistake is somewhat less common / ];
(At the same time, I've exorcized the oxymoron "hash list" from the
diagnostics.)
It should be okay to add to the _05 release, since it's not a _new_
warning, just a change in the text of the existing one.

The HeVAL() slot of the string table contains a reference count (which
is not an IV for efficiency reasons). The right value to signify a
reference count of zero is Nullsv, not &sv_undef.
At the time that code was written, hv_free_ent() didn't expect
HeVAL(entry) to contain a valid SV. Someone changed that assumption.

The "right" fix is to patch hv_free_ent() with:

bidirectional pipe warning blues
When Perl detects the use of a bidirectional pipe it will warn about it
(if warnings are enabled) and silently turn it into a writeable pipe.
For example once perl is finished with this bit of code
open (F, "| true |") ;
it will actually send "true |" to the shell for execution.
On my SunOS box this isn't a problem. Unfortunately Linux which uses
bash is another story. It spits out this warning
sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Here is a patch to shut up the warning by zapping the terminating "|".

[cc'ed to perl5-porters]
I ran across exactly that symptom in December. It turned out to be a
very hard-to-find bug which I fixed in:
Change 361 on 1997/12/12 by mbeattie@localhost
pp_print and pp_prtf handling of tied file handles used EXTEND
instead of MEXTEND leading to core dumps. This fix needs
propagating back to the maintenance branch.
After fixing it, I did a check to see if anything else was doing an
extend and then using a cached MARK but didn't see anything. Are you
sure the latest perl still causes the problem?

What he said.
This isn't a comprehensive solution, but from I've seen of SWIG, it seems
to be extremely useful for at least the minor glue cases. Perhaps the
perlembed and/or perlxs pods should point to SWIG?
A doc patch to mention SWIG is included below. (Note that I have far too
little real experience with using SWIG to know how appropriate this is.
It's just worked, and worked well, for everything that I wanted so far.)
In the best of worlds, both the perl core implementation and XS would be
cleaned and simplified. Not easy tasks.

glibc2.0.6 missing MSG_* <sys/socket.h> defines.
This is a patch suitable for the maintenance track; a similar patch
is already in 5.004_64, but that version relies on a config.h variable
HAS_GNULIBC that is not available in 5.004_04. This version uses
__GLIBC__, which ought to be perfectly fine.
In glibc2.0.6 systems, the various MSG_* #defines in <sys/socket.h>
are no longer #defines. Instead, they are enums.
I have received confirmation (bug libc/545) that they will again be
#defined in 2.0.7, but I suspect that we ought to expect to
encounter 2.0.6 and the various 2.0.7-prereleases for quite a while.

Log Message:

support find2perl -follow
it's been tried before by better people than i, i'm sure, but here's a
patch for find2perl (well, find2perl.PL) that implements the -follow
option; i tested it very *very* trivially, and it seemed to work (it gave
the same output as "find -follow" anyway)...
how it works:
we have a hash (%already_seen) which stores which files we've seen (it
uses "$dev,$ino" as the hash key - that's unique for each file, i figure),
but only records it in the hash if the file we're looking at isn't a
directory (that what find seems to do)... also, all lstat() calls become
stat() calls with -follow... no doubt the special case "-follow -type l"
should be considered, but i didn't think of it at the time... anyway,
enjoy...

perl compile fix for AIX 4.3
Perl does not compile under AIX 4.3 due to two problems. First,
in an attempt to make the DNS resolver thread safe h_errno is
not a simple variable any more, it is a define. This causes the
definition in pp_sys.c to fail. Second the XCOFF header files
remove some useful definitions that the dynamic loader in dl_aix.xs
did rely upon. The following is a patch that fixes both problems.

Dynaloader build on VMS
Funny - I had intended to submit a patch against _04 to fix
File::Path::mkpath() which had a nasty problem (especially on VMS).
A closer look at the 04-m1 source revealed that the necessary
change is already in there (thanks!).
I did, however, encounter build troubles on VMS one of which involved
the new save_helem() and save_aelem() in pp.c pp_hot.c not having
prototypes. I hand applied the proto.h fix from Gurusamy Sarathy in:
http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/
mailing-lists/perl-porters/1998-03/msg00469.html
and got further along to:
MCR Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe "-I[.lib]" ConfigPM.
Create/Directory [.lib.VMS_AXP.5_00404]
%CREATE-I-EXISTS, [.LIB.VMS_AXP.5_00404] already exists
Copy [.LIB]CONFIG.PM [.LIB.VMS_AXP.5_00404]CONFIG.PM
%MMS-F-GWKNOPRN, There are no known sources for the current target
[.EXT.DYNALOADER]DYNALOADER.PM.
Unfortunately the .PL-ification of Dynaloader.pm was not accounted for
in the VMS Makefile. The enclosed patch to vms/descrip.mms fixes that.
I realize that there have been many patches to vms related files recently,
perhaps including vms/descrip.mms. Unfortunately I have not had the time
to check if this change was already suggested and/or incorporated into
the archive (though I did search the p5p and vmsp archives at
www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de for the string '_pl' but saw nothing relevant
to vms). Apologies to the pumpking for any inconvenience (and
congratulations on the new baby :-).

This patch adds the Tim-originated //t flag to leave $1 etc. tainted.
This should be forward-ported to the development track (_6*); I'm not
set up for that right now, so maybe someone else could do it. It'll
be easier if you apply my other recent taint-related patches first.
(This patch was drop-dead easy; the hardest part was finding another

Subject: [PATCH] Re: Regex weirdness
: I found some true strangeness in 5.004_04 which doesn't occur in
:5.004_64. I didn't find any patches which obviously meant to fix it,
:so just in case:
:
: $string = "aa bb cc";
:
: foreach ('aa', 'bb', '(?o)aa', 'bb', 'aa', '(?o)aa') {
: if ($string =~ /($_)/) { print "yes: $_\n" }
: else { print "no: $_\n" }
: }
:
: produces, in 5.004_04:
:
: yes: aa
: yes: bb
: yes: (?o)aa
: no: bb
: yes: aa
: yes: (?o)aa
:
: but in 5.004_64, it does the right thing (given that the right
:thing is to ignore (?o) directives)
Patch below makes 5.004_05t1 do that.
: Can somebody say for sure that the root problem has been
:addressed, or shall I look for more subtle examples?
Depends which root problem - the patch below fixes the problem of
'5.004 doesn't ignore (?o)' (though perhaps it should be ignoring
(?g) as well?). The devel branch solution is rather different since
(as I understand it) it can attach flags to a particular subexpression
of the regexp, so that I believe this:
/($_)(?:(?o)($_))/ foreach qw( a b );
will match "aa" the first time and "ba" the second. I guess the
'root cause' of the difference between the _05t1 and the _64
behaviour is that the devel branch rightly accepts patches that
the maint branch rightly refuses, and regexps represent an area
of major change in that respect.
[Later] Nope, I was wrong: the above code matches "aa" and "bb" in
5.004_64. I guess that because /o wasn't set on the top level, it
has already thrown away the old compiled regexp before it might
have got as far as seeing /o on the subexpression.
[Even later]
There seems to be an additional oddity with the 5.004_05t1 status
quo, since this:
foreach $a (qw(a b)) { foreach $b (qw(a b)) {
printf "$a$a =~ $b$b: %s\n", (("$a$a" =~ /$b((?o)$b)/) ? 'yes' : 'no');
}}
prints this:
aa =~ aa: yes
aa =~ bb: aa
bb =~ aa: bb
bb =~ bb: bb
.. so looking for more subtle examples might still be fruitful. With the
below patch the above code prints the same results as 5.004_64, matching
yes/no/no/yes.

Thanks Ilya - I hadn't seen it before.
I understand, I think, why it is happening: the $x[??] arguments to printf
are being compiled to pp_aelemfast, which pushes on the stack without
bounds checking - the second one exactly fills the stack, so the third
writes past the end; the final $_ is pp_gvsv, which does an EXTEND(sp, 1),
which grows the stack, copying all that it knows about, but leaving a
gap for the past-the-end value - this causes the SEGV when the overwrite
hasn't been trapped by the assertion.
I'm not sure whether AELEMFAST is supposed to EXTEND - if it is, the patch
below will suffice. If not, then presumably room on the stack is supposed
to be guaranteed at the time of generation of the op, which is in
op.c:peep() case OP_GV: I can't see there any attempt to check expected
stack depth.
I can certainly see the value of optimising the printf to something along
the lines of:
EXTEND SP, 5
MARK
CONSTFAST
AELEMFAST
AELEMFAST
AELEMFAST
SCALARFAST
PRINTF
.. but I suspect that isn't what 'FAST' is supposed to mean.
Patch is to 5.004_04, and passes all tests (and the above failure case)
here; it might be worth adding the failure case to op/misc.t if it is
at least reasonably likely to fail in the same place in the future - if
so, only the last four lines should be required.

Add VMS specifics to Porting/makerel
Funny - I had intended to submit a patch against _04 to fix
File::Path::mkpath() which had a nasty problem (especially on VMS).
A closer look at the 04-m1 source revealed that the necessary
change is already in there (thanks!).
I did, however, encounter build troubles on VMS one of which involved
the new save_helem() and save_aelem() in pp.c pp_hot.c not having
prototypes. I hand applied the proto.h fix from Gurusamy Sarathy in:
http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/
mailing-lists/perl-porters/1998-03/msg00469.html
and got further along to:
MCR Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe "-I[.lib]" ConfigPM.
Create/Directory [.lib.VMS_AXP.5_00404]
%CREATE-I-EXISTS, [.LIB.VMS_AXP.5_00404] already exists
Copy [.LIB]CONFIG.PM [.LIB.VMS_AXP.5_00404]CONFIG.PM
%MMS-F-GWKNOPRN, There are no known sources for the current target
[.EXT.DYNALOADER]DYNALOADER.PM.
Unfortunately the .PL-ification of Dynaloader.pm was not accounted for
in the VMS Makefile. The enclosed patch to vms/descrip.mms fixes that.
I realize that there have been many patches to vms related files recently,
perhaps including vms/descrip.mms. Unfortunately I have not had the time
to check if this change was already suggested and/or incorporated into
the archive (though I did search the p5p and vmsp archives at
www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de for the string '_pl' but saw nothing relevant
to vms). Apologies to the pumpking for any inconvenience (and
congratulations on the new baby :-).
Do note that the change to PERL_VERSION reflected in this patch
ought to be upped (via C<s/00404/00405/>) before releasing this
as _05.
