-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-5406 2013-04-11 16:22:06 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl Product : Fedora 19 Version : 5.16.3 Release : 262.fc19 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: Correct dependencies (perl, perl-autodie, perl-HTTP-Tiny, perl-Digest-MD5). Remove bundled modules (Archive-Extract, Module-Load-Conditional, Pod-LaTeX). Sub-package modules (Sys-Syslog). Fix memory leak when freeing tied hashes. Fix dead lock in PerlIO after forking from a thread. Rebase Sys-Syslog to 0.32 to fix various bugs. See <http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SAPER/Sys-Syslog-0.32/Changes> for more details. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #911226 - Review Request: perl-autodie - Replace functions with ones that succeed or die https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=911226 [ 2 ] Bug #950057 - Review Request: perl-Sys-Syslog - Perl interface to the UNIX syslog(3) calls https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=950057 [ 3 ] Bug #947444 - PerlIO dead-locks with threaded fork https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947444 [ 4 ] Bug #924938 - wrong provides in latest build https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=924938 [ 5 ] Bug #950017 - Unable to use LOG_EMERG level in Sys::Syslog https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=950017 [ 6 ] Bug #859910 - Hint-hash copying can leak https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859910 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
