-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-2997 2009-03-25 15:23:07 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl Product : Fedora 9 Version : 5.10.0 Release : 68.fc9 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: An updated build of perl, that fixes the order of @INC, closes a memory leak in regex, updates several core modules, fixes CGI::escape(), and contains other bug fixes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Apr 10 2009 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-68 - do not use quotes in patchlevel.h; it breaks installation from cpan (#495183) * Tue Apr 7 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-67 - update CGI to 3.43, dropping upstreamed perl-CGI-escape.patch * Tue Apr 7 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-66 - fix CGI::escape for all strings (#472571) - perl-CGI-t-util-58.patch: Do not distort lib/CGI/t/util-58.t http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=64502 * Fri Mar 27 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-65 - Move the gargantuan Changes* collection to -devel (#492605) * Tue Mar 24 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-64 - update module autodie * Mon Mar 23 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-63 - update Digest::SHA (fixes 489221) * Wed Mar 11 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-62 - drop 26_fix_pod2man_upgrade (don't need it) - fix typo in %define ExtUtils_CBuilder_version * Wed Mar 11 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-61 - apply Change 34507: Fix memory leak in single-char character class optimization - Reorder @INC, based on b9ba2fadb18b54e35e5de54f945111a56cbcb249 - fix Archive::Extract to fix test failure caused by tar >= 1.21 - Merge useful Debian patches * Tue Mar 10 2009 Stepan Kasal <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-60 - remove compatibility obsolete sitelib directories - use a better BuildRoot - drop a redundant mkdir in %install - call patchlevel.h only once; rm patchlevel.bak - update modules Sys::Syslog, Module::Load::Conditional, Module::CoreList, Test::Harness, Test::Simple, CGI.pm (dropping the upstreamed patch), File::Path (that includes our perl-5.10.0-CVE-2008-2827.patch), constant, Pod::Simple, Archive::Tar, Archive::Extract, File::Fetch, File::Temp, IPC::Cmd, Time::HiRes, Module::Build, ExtUtils::CBuilder - standardize the patches for updating embedded modules - work around a bug in Module::Build tests bu setting TMPDIR to a directory inside the source tree * Sun Mar 8 2009 Robert Scheck <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-59 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild * Mon Feb 16 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-58 - add /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl to otherlibs (bz 484053) * Mon Feb 16 2009 Dennis Gilmore <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-57 - build sparc64 without _smp_mflags * Sat Feb 7 2009 Dennis Gilmore <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-56 - limit sparc builds to -j12 * Tue Feb 3 2009 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-55 - update IPC::Cmd to v 0.42 * Mon Jan 19 2009 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-54 - 455410 http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=54934 Attempt to free unreferenced scalar fiddling with the symbol table Keep the refcount of the globs generated by PerlIO::via balanced. * Mon Dec 22 2008 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-53 - add missing XHTML.pm into Pod::Simple * Fri Dec 12 2008 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-52 - 295021 CVE-2007-4829 perl-Archive-Tar directory traversal flaws - add another source for binary files, which test untaring links * Fri Nov 28 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-51 - to fix Fedora bz 473223, which is really perl bug #54186 (http://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=54186) we apply Changes 33640, 33881, 33896, 33897 * Mon Nov 24 2008 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-50 - change summary according to RFC fix summary discussion at fedora-devel :) * Thu Oct 23 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-49 - update File::Temp to 0.20 * Sun Oct 12 2008 Lubomir Rintel <[email protected]> - 4:5.10.0-48 - Include fix for rt#52740 to fix a crash when using Devel::Symdump and Compress::Zlib together * Tue Oct 7 2008 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> 4:5.10.0-47.fc10 - rt#33242, rhbz#459918.
