-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-16122 2010-10-11 18:57:08 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl Product : Fedora 13 Version : 5.10.1 Release : 120.fc13 URL : http://www.perl.org/ Summary : Practical Extraction and Report 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New package perl-threads-1.81-1 carries the fix. Updated perl-5.10.1-120 creates older perl-threads sub-package to allow newer dual-lived perl-threads package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Oct 11 2010 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.1-120 - Sub-package threads (bug #622190) * Mon Sep 6 2010 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.1-119 - Do not leak when destroying thread (RT #77352, RHBZ #630667) * Thu Aug 19 2010 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.1-118 - Add "-Wl,--enable-new-dtags" to linker to allow to override perl's rpath by LD_LIBRARY_PATH used in tests. Otherwise tested perl would link to old in-system libperl.so. * Thu Aug 12 2010 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.1-117.1 - 622896 remove paths, which were in INC duplicated. The rest of duplicated must be here because it's always different macro: privlib/vendorlib. * Mon Jul 26 2010 Petr Pisar <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.1-117 - Enable parallel testing in IO module - Run tests in C locale to pass t/op/stat.t test in localized environment - Run tests in parallel * Fri Jul 23 2010 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.1-116 - 575842 remove -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV from Configure.
