Suggested Patches
Nicholas R. (Atoomic) provided a patch in [9]Perl #132077 to replace
multiple use vars by our.
Nicholas also provided a patch in [10]Perl #132080 (switch some core
modules to [11]XSLoader).
An additional patch from Nicholas in [12]Perl #132072 to add more context
when raising a warning, similar to [13]Carp::Always or
[14]Devel::Confess.
Jim Keenen and Tony Cook provided patches in [15]Perl #132087 to fix
blead
on Darwin. Patches merged, blead is unbroken.
Nicholas provided several patches in [16]Perl #132092 (Multiple testsuite
fixup) which was resolved by merging the relevant patches.
If you feel like contributing to the Perl core without knowing
everything,
Karl Williamson would really not [17]object to have a porting test that
checks that macro arguments involved in expressions are parenthesized.
Niko Tyni provided a patch in [18]Perl #132100 to address issue raised by
Jacub Wilk to add a missing newline in a warning.
