Updated perl-IO-Socket-IP to 0.17:
Only pass AI_ADDRCONFIG as getaddrinfo() flag if no other flags are specified, so the caller can disable it if required
Don't count select() invocations during nonblocking unit test because this is too unreliable and races with the kernel/TCP stack
Updated perl-Pod-Simple to 3.23:
Eliminated nested elements in table of contents (index) items output of Pod::Simple::XHTML, which was especially problematic for headers that included links, as the TOC then got nested anchor elements, which simply would not work (CPAN RT#77686)
Fixed semantically invalid nested XHTML generated by Pod::Simple::XHTML since v3.21
Improved support for nested "C< >" tags in Pod::Simple::XHTML
No longer tries to decode a string with the "utf8" flag set, as the double-decoding only triggered an error
- Added documentation note that the API expects encoded text (octets)
Added "parse_characters()" option to specify that strings to parse are already decoded from octets into characters
Updated perl-XML-LibXML in devel branches for libxml2 2.9.0 release candidate

Updated perl-Text-CSV_XS to 0.91:
- Prevent test-failures for long doubles on weird architectures
- More UTF-8 tests for the change of 0.90
- Update test case now 5.005 is not supported anymore
Rip out the tell/seek introduced in 0.90
Updated perl-Variable-Magic to 0.51:
It is now safe to call dispell() from inside 'free', 'copy' and 'uvar' callbacks to dispell the magic currently in use
Exceptions thrown from inside a 'free' callback are now always consistently propagated outside of the callback; they used to be lost when the 'free' callback was invoked at the end of an eval block or string
The 'reset RMG flag' workaround used to allow wizards with both 'uvar' and 'clear' magics to be cast onto a hash, has been made thread-safe
