OK so here's the updated version: ================================= Title: Perl 5.26 update: possible breakage Author: Andreas K. Hüttel <dilfri...@gentoo.org> Posted: xxxxxxx Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: >=dev-lang/perl-5.26.0
You have just upgraded to Perl 5.26. This release brings several incompatible changes, as a result of deprecations coming to term and of changes in default settings to mitigate a potential security issue [1]. While we have made sure that all resulting build failures within Gentoo are fixed, this may not be the case for runtime issues, and certainly can affect third-party code (e.g., "hand-installed" server applications). Typical errors are * Can't locate inc/... in @INC (you may need to install the inc::... module) * error: ... has no member named ‘op_sibling’ * Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal in ... Please see the pages [2,3] for details and report bugs if you run into problems during or after the Perl update. General purpose advice on updating Perl can be found on page [4].
