RFC: Deprecating Module::Build
|
| |
I propose deprecating Module::Build from core in 5.19 and removing it in 5.21.
My rationale:
* Module::Build has been in life-support maintainance for a couple
years now (thank you leont for taking up that awful task)
* CPAN clients have supported configure_requires to bootstrap a build
tool since Perl 5.10.1 almost a decade ago... more »

Safe 2.35 localizing %SIG
|

I've been bitten by the localizing of %SIG in the latest Safe.pm. I'm
using a SIG ALRM to have execution of the Safe compartment time out:

filehandle promotion to IO::Handle not acting correctly
|

...
Why should they?
...
It's not clear to me that such promotion happens in this case:

...$ cat 118105_fh.pl ...use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.10.1;
use Data::Dumper;
use Scalar::Util qw( reftype );
use Test::More qw( no_plan );

doc patch: File::Copy pod Synopsis section
|
| |
Attached patch based on blead changes the pod of File::Copy so that

arguments for the copy and move functions is source-dest or
dest-source.
Please verify that I've used the correct order. The stakes are high:
if we put the wrong order in the docs, people might end up silently... more »

Porting/sync-with-cpan - eliminate external call to `tar`
|
| |
Hi p5p,
As discussed previously, this is one of the patches to eliminate reliance on external tools where practical. The attached patch exchanges the use of a native `tar` executable against the use of Archive::Tar in Porting/sync-with-cpan .
I'd like to get these changes in as early as possible in the 5.19 cycle,... more »
