lang/perl5 to perl-5.8.6nb4. Modify packages that referred to
lang/perl58 to point to lang/perl5 instead.

handle errno in the same way that perl.h does. The workaround in
sdbm.c for the mishandling of errno that redeclares errno if WIN32
and sun are not defined is not correct, as it ends up redeclaring
errno on just about every platform. Modify sdbm.c so that it uses
the same method of handling errno as perl.h for the sake of consistency.
This fixes PR pkg/30308.

Patches from Nicholas Clark in private mail. Bump the PKGREVISION to

PR pkg/28963 with minor modifications by me. Also teach all of the
BSDs (and Interix) to pass the rpath to libperl.so if a module needs
to link with libperl.so when built with MakeMaker.pm. Bump the
PKGREVISION to 2.

include:
* By default, platforms that have native threads will build a threaded
perl. Note that you will likely have to rebuild your Perl modules
after this update unless your Perl is already threaded.
* The perl interpreter is now more tolerant of UTF-16-encoded scripts.
* Several core modules were updated.
* Perl has a new -dt command-line flag, which enables threads support in
the debugger.
* "foreach" on threads::shared array used to be able to crash Perl. This
bug has now been fixed.
* A regexp in "STDOUT"'s destructor used to coredump, because the regexp
pad was already freed. This has been fixed.
* Using "delete" on an array no longer leaks memory. A "pop" of an item
from a shared array reference no longer causes a leak.
* "eval_sv()" failing a taint test could corrupt the stack - this has
been fixed.
* On platforms with 64 bit pointers numeric comparison operators used to
erroneously compare the addresses of references that are overloaded,
rather than using the overloaded values. This has been fixed.
* From now on all applications embedding perl will behave as if perl were
compiled with -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV.

the tz* related variables are initialized when it is invoked. In
fact, Solaris does do this while NetBSD 2.0 does not. Explicitly call
tzset() before calling localtime_r() to initialize the local timezone
data. This fixes the output of:
perl -e '$t = localtime($^T); print "$t\n";' ; date
to always print the time in the local timezone twice instead of the
first time in UTC and the second in the local timezone. Bump the
PKGREVISION.

generated by the hints file and invoked from within the Configure
script. This "pkgsrc.cbu" script is called after all other call-back
scripts are called, so it's the last to modify ldflags and lddlflags.
This should fix builds on non-NetBSD platforms.

Incompatible Changes
There are no changes incompatible with 5.8.4.
Core Enhancements
Perl's regular expression engine now contains support for matching on the intersection of two Unicode character classes. You can also now refer to user-defined character classes from within other user defined character classes.
Modules and Pragmata
* Carp improved to work nicely with Safe. Carp's message reporting should now be anomaly free - it will always print out line number information.
* CGI upgraded to version 3.05
* charnames now avoids clobbering $_
* Digest upgraded to version 1.08
* Encode upgraded to version 2.01
* FileCache upgraded to version 1.04
* libnet upgraded to version 1.19
* Pod::Parser upgraded to version 1.28
* Pod::Perldoc upgraded to version 3.13
* Pod::LaTeX upgraded to version 0.57
* Safe now works properly with Carp
* Scalar-List-Utils upgraded to version 1.14
* Shell's documentation has been re-written, and its historical partial auto-quoting of command arguments can now be disabled.
* Test upgraded to version 1.25
* Test::Harness upgraded to version 2.42
* Time::Local upgraded to version 1.10
* Unicode::Collate upgraded to version 0.40
* Unicode::Normalize upgraded to version 0.30
Utility Changes
Perl's debugger
The debugger can now emulate stepping backwards, by restarting and rerunning all bar the last command from a saved command history.
h2ph
h2ph is now able to understand a very limited set of C inline functions -- basically, the inline functions that look like CPP macros. This has been introduced to deal with some of the headers of the newest versions of the glibc. The standard warning still applies; to quote h2ph's documentation, you may need to dicker with the files produced.
Installation and Configuration Improvements
Perl 5.8.5 should build cleanly from source on LynxOS.
Selected Bug Fixes
* The in-place sort optimisation introduced in 5.8.4 had a bug. For example, in code such as
@a = sort ($b, @a)
the result would omit the value $b. This is now fixed.
* The optimisation for unnecessary assignments introduced in 5.8.4 could give spurious warnings. This has been fixed.
* Perl should now correctly detect and read BOM-marked and (BOMless) UTF-16 scripts of either endianness.
* Creating a new thread when weak references exist was buggy, and would often cause warnings at interpreter destruction time. The known bug is now fixed.
* Several obscure bugs involving manipulating Unicode strings with substr have been fixed.
* Previously if Perl's file globbing function encountered a directory that it did not have permission to open it would return immediately, leading to unexpected truncation of the list of results. This has been fixed, to be consistent with Unix shells' globbing behaviour.
* Thread creation time could vary wildly between identical runs. This was caused by a poor hashing algorithm in the thread cloning routines, which has now been fixed.
* The internals of the ithreads implementation were not checking if OS-level thread creation had failed. threads->create() now returns undef in if thead creation fails instead of crashing perl.
New or Changed Diagnostics
* Perl -V has several improvements
o correctly outputs local patch names that contain embedded code snippets or other characters that used to confuse it.
o arguments to -V that look like regexps will give multiple lines of output.
o a trailing colon suppresses the linefeed and ';' terminator, allowing embedding of queries into shell commands.
o a leading colon removes the 'name=' part of the response, allowing mapping to any name.
* When perl fails to find the specified script, it now outputs a second line suggesting that the user use the -S flag:
$ perl5.8.5 missing.pl
Can't open perl script "missing.pl": No such file or directory.
Use -S to search $PATH for it.
Changed Internals
The Unicode character class files used by the regular expression engine are now built at build time from the supplied Unicode consortium data files, instead of being shipped prebuilt. This makes the compressed Perl source tarball about 200K smaller. A side effect is that the layout of files inside lib/unicore has changed.
pkgsrc: fails the same test that 5.8.4 fails (sigaction).

Make this build under Irix with mipspro compilers:
MIPSPro compiler/preprocessor behaves differently if invoked on
stdin vs file. In configure, we test for stdin, but lateron we use files.
So force it to work the way we know it does.

fixes some minor bugs.

* Build without sparc64 hacks on NetBSD-*-sparc64 if using a gcc>=3.3.
* The hash randomisation introduced with 5.8.1 has been amended to be
binary compatible with 5.8.0.
* Several memory leaks associated with variables shared between threads
have been fixed.
* Several modules were updated:
Devel::PPPort Digest::MD5 I18N::LangTags libnet MIME::Base64
Pod::Perldoc strict Tie::Hash Time::HiRes Unicode::Collate
Unicode::Normalize UNIVERSAL
* Some syntax errors involving unrecognized filetest operators are now
handled correctly by the parser.

libgcc.a isn't linked "whole archive" into the perl executable on newer
NetBSD systems (>1.5.x). Newer NetBSD systems have libgcc_pic.a linked
into shared libraries, so this hack isn't needed. This change was tested
by building and testing textproc/xerces-p, a C++ perl5 module that uses
functions in libgcc.a.

we install them into a private directory under the the normal Perl
installation and configure Perl so that site-specific Perl man3 pages
are installed into a private directory within site_perl. This avoids
manpage conflicts between 3rd-party modules, the standard Perl library,
and other packages.
The changes implement some unfinished work that is alluded to in the
MakeMaker.pm module by allowing "installsiteman{1,3}dir" to be set
during the configuration process and are used to provide default values
for INSTALLSITEMAN{1,3}DIR during the Perl module build/install process.
Bump PKGREVISIONs for lang/perl5 and lang/perl58.

which differs from perl-5.6.1 in the improved threading support and much
improved Unicode support. Perl 5.8.0 is binary-incompatible with perl
5.6.1, so any compiled perl modules will need to be rebuilt in order to
work with the new perl.
This package is currently only for Darwin, though the restriction will be
lifted prior to branching.
