Local Packages

  • Updated perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-CPANfile to 0.07:

    • Supported recommends, suggests, conflicts

  • Updated perl-Net-DNS to 1.04:

    • Fix CPAN RT#109183: Semantics of "retry" and "retrans" options has changed with 1.03

    • Fix CPAN RT#109152: Deprecated method make_query_packet breaks calling code

    • Fix CPAN RT#109135: Resolver behaves differently with long and short IPv6 address format

    • Fix CPAN RT#108745: Net::DNS::Resolver bgsend

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.044:

    • Recognize postfix dereference if desired, controlled by the Boolean argument 'postderef' passed to PPIx::Regexp->new(); the default is false, but will become true if postfix dereference becomes mainstream Perl 5

    • Add explain() and supporting methods main_structure() and in_regex_set(); the explain() method returns a brief explanation of what the element does

    • Restrict recognition of back references in replacement strings to \number form, since Perl itself does not recognize \g{...} or \k{...} there

    • Allow nesting of \Q with \U, \L, and \F (the perlop docs say these nest with each other); playing with Perl suggests that \U, \L and \F supersede each other, but that they as a group nest with \Q in either order, so that if you specify \Q and one of the \U, \L, \F group, you need two \Es to turn them all back off
