Local Packages

• Updated perl-Class-Load-XS to 0.09 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-Exception-Class (1.39) to correct the license tag, which should be "same as perl" rather than "Artistic 2.0"

• Updated perl-JSON-MaybeXS to 1.003001 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.037:

  • Correctly mark the replacement portion of s///ee as code; prior to this release it was parsed as though no /e were present

  • Make available the number of times a given modifier is asserted (except for the match semantics modifiers, which get handled differently); see PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier->asserted() and PPIx::Regexp::Tokenizer->modifier() for details

  • Have PPIx::Regexp::Structure::RegexSet POD recognize that the Perl docs (specifically perlrecharclass) now call this construction "Extended Bracketed Character Classes", not "sets"

• Updated perl-Test-Deep to 0.113 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-Test-UseAllModules to 0.17:

  • Dropped cpanfile support, as it forced users of this module to update too many modules, especially while testing backward compatibility with older perls
