Name : perl Product : Fedora 20 Version : 5.18.1 Release : 288.fc20 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: - Fix rules for parsing numeric escapes in regexes (bug #978233) - Fix crash with \&$glob_copy (bug #989486) - Fix coreamp.t's rand test (bug #970567) - Reap child in case where exception has been thrown (bug #988805) - Fix using regexes with multiple code blocks (bug #982131) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #978233 - perl-5.18: Regex \8 and \9 after literals no longer work https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=978233 [ 2 ] Bug #989486 - perl-5.18: Dereferencing undefined glob value as a code reference causes segfault https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989486 [ 3 ] Bug #970567 - perl-5.18: t/op/coreamp.t sometimes fails https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=970567 [ 4 ] Bug #988805 - IPC::Open3 keeps zombies after failed execve() https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=988805 [ 5 ] Bug #982131 - Regular expression in regular expression code block corrupts back-reference https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982131 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
