  • Updated perl-Variable-Magic to 0.59:

    • The magic callbacks are now always executed in a new stack; this should have no negative impact (performance-wise or behaviour-wise) on your code, but may actually fix some obscure bugs
    • Fix crash during install of Variable-Magic-0.58 running "t/18-opinfo.t" (CPAN RT#107294); a recent change in the core implementation of transliterations caused an undefined behaviour when it interacted with this module, which resulted in visible stack corruption on Win32 perls compiled with MSVC when the op_info feature was enabled

    • The object op_info feature will now handle correctly Unicode transliteration, multideref and custom ops
