Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Params-Validate to 1.07:

    • Params::Validate's XS implementation would overwrite $@ when validation subs were called (CPAN RT#80124)

    • The use of state in the POD was broken; it only works with scalars (CPAN RT#80250)

  • Updated perl-Perl-Critic-Pulp to 74:

    • Skip version.pm 1e6 test in RequireNumericVersion.t for now

  • Updated perl-SQL-Statement to 1.401:

    • Switch to 3-digited minor version
    • Undo literal replaces in sub-queries before passing them to the child parser
    • Fix doc typos (CPAN RT#71914, CPAN RT#76764)

    • Fix DROP TABLE behaviour and error detection

    • Improve documentation/tests for multiple JOINs (CPAN RT#69573)

    • Filling in the SQL92 gaps for functions (CPAN RT#72638)

  • I found lots of compatibility issues in newly-added tests that affected Perl versions prior to 5.12; I'll try sending those upstream but I don't know how much interest there is in maintaining compatibility with legacy Perl releases
