Local Packages
Updated perl-File-Remove to 1.51:
END-time deletion by clear() is now fork-safe; it will only remove paths created in the same process
Updated perl-NetAddr-IP to 4.053:
In Lite.pm v1.36:
Fix CPAN RT#71925, a sub-variant of CPAN RT#62521 that showed up only for short notation for IPv4, e.g. 127/n, 127.0/n, 127.0.0/n but not 127.0.0.0/n
Updated perl-Variable-Magic to 0.47:
The new constant VMG_COMPAT_HASH_DELETE_NOUVAR_VOID evaluates to true when "delete $hash{key}" does not call 'delete' uvar magic in void context
The MAGIC tokens created by this module no longer use the mg_private member for storing a "magical" signature
- Triggering magic in a thread on a variable cloned from the main interpreter, and when the wizard already went out of scope, will no longer segfault
- The pointer table is no longer needed to ensure thread safety; the size of the object code is about 8% smaller for threaded perls
- Threads tests will not fail any more if resource constraints prevent the system from creating all the required threads
