  • I've got 10.7 installed which comes with Perl 5.12.3 installed. I did a CPAN install: $ sudo cpan password: cpan install DateTime And, the whole thing works. Is this something you need for a third party file, or do you want to use this because you're familiar with this particular package? There are several built in Time packages with Perl 5.10.
  • The Perl developers have released Perl 5.12.3, the latest update to Perl 5. This latest version is the result of four months of work and '2,500 lines of changes'. In the 'perldelta' notes for the release, the developers note that the built-in functions keys,values and each now work on arrays rather than just hashes, but admit this was a change introduced in Perl 5.12.0 and not documented.

The #1 Perl solution used by enterprises. Save time and stop worrying about support, security and license compliance. With the top Perl packages precompiled, and a range of commercial support options, ActivePerl lets your team focus on productivity with Perl that “just works”. Installing Strawberry Perl (without Padre) video. Explanation of this setup Padre, the Perl IDE is recommended, because you get Strawberry Perl (Perl packaged for Windows) 5.12.3 as well as many useful modules (especially those that are tricky to install) and the Perl IDE/editor itself.

A good setup for Perl on macOS:

  • Install 'Command Line Tools for Xcode', either directly or through Xcode, both available from Apple Developer downloads (free registration required). Xcode can also be installed through the App Store application.
  • Open the Terminal.app (found in Applications -> Utilities) and copy & paste the command below into it (then press the 'return' key):
  • Once this is finished (it takes several minutes), quit the Terminal app.

If you are interested in the details of the setup above..

  • To build and install Perl and many of the thousands of useful Perl modules you need to have a compiler. For macOS the easiest way to get a compiler is to install 'Command Line Tools for Xcode' (about 100 Megs), either directly or through Xcode (several Gigs), both available from Apple Developer downloads. Xcode is also available through the App Store application. Some versions of the macOS install DVD or SSD come with the 'developer tools', which contains Xcode. Only the 'unix tools' section of Xcode is actually required, no specific version of Xcode is needed, the latest is available directly through the App Store.
  • To interact with the command line and run Perl commands, a terminal application is needed. macOS comes with Terminal.app by default, there are alternatives available as well.
  • macOS uses .bash_profile, but most other systems (and instructions) look for .bashrc, this code sets up .bash_profile to also run anything in .bashrc. There are other differences but these are not important to us.
  • The Perlbrew website lists many of it's advantages. We recommend it here because it separates your installation from the system Perl, this makes upgrading your OS less likely to cause issues with your own Perl setup. It also means you can use a newer Perl than the default one which comes with your OS.
  • App-cpanminus provides the cpanm tool, which makes installing modules very simple to do.

perl5125delta - what is new for perl v5.12.5

This document describes differences between the 5.12.4 release and the 5.12.5 release.

If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.12.3, first read the perl5124delta manpage, which describes differences between 5.12.3 and 5.12.4.

Encode decode_xs n-byte heap-overflow (CVE-2011-2939)

A bug in Encode could, on certain inputs, cause the heap to overflow. This problem has been corrected. Bug reported by Robert Zacek.

File::Glob::bsd_glob() memory error with GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC (CVE-2011-2728).

Calling File::Glob::bsd_glob with the unsupported flag GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC would cause an access violation / segfault. A Perl program that accepts a flags value from an external source could expose itself to denial of service or arbitrary code execution attacks. There are no known exploits in the wild. The problem has been corrected by explicitly disabling all unsupported flags and setting unused function pointers to null. Bug reported by Clément Lecigne.

Heap buffer overrun in 'x' string repeat operator (CVE-2012-5195)

Mac miller album download free. Poorly written perl code that allows an attacker to specify the count to perl's 'x' string repeat operator can already cause a memory exhaustion denial-of-service attack. A flaw in versions of perl before 5.15.5 can escalate that into a heap buffer overrun; coupled with versions of glibc before 2.16, it possibly allows the execution of arbitrary code.

5.12.3

This problem has been fixed.

There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.12.4. If any exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.

See full list on metacpan.org

Updated Modules

the B::Concise manpage no longer produces mangled output with the -tree option [perl #80632].

A regression introduced in Perl 5.8.8 has been fixed, that caused charnames::viacode(0) to return undef instead of the string ``NULL' [perl #72624].

the Encode manpage has been upgraded from version 2.39 to version 2.39_01.

See Security.

the File::Glob manpage has been upgraded from version 1.07 to version 1.07_01.

Perlcc For Perl 5.12.3 For Mac Osx

See Security.

The documentation for the upper function now actually says ``upper', not ``lower'.

the Module::CoreList manpage has been updated to version 2.50_02 to add data for this release.

The the perlebcdic manpage document contains a helpful table to use in tr/// to convert between EBCDIC and Latin1/ASCII. Unfortunately, the table was the inverse of the one it describes. This has been corrected.

Perl58delta - What Is New For Perl V5.8.0 - Metacpan.org

The section on User-Defined Case Mappings had some bad markup and unclear sentences, making parts of it unreadable. This has been rectified.

This document has been corrected to take non-ASCII platforms into account.

Platform Specific Changes

Mac OS X
There have been configuration and test fixes to make Perl build cleanly on Lion and Mountain Lion.
NetBSD
The NetBSD hints file was corrected to be compatible with NetBSD 6.*
    chop now correctly handles characters above ``x{7fffffff}' [perl #73246]. ($<,$>) = (..) stopped working properly in 5.12.0. It is supposed to make a single setreuid() call, rather than calling setruid() and seteuid() separately. Consequently it did not work properly. This has been fixed [perl #75212]. Fixed a regression of kill() when a match variable is used for the process ID to kill [perl #75812]. UNIVERSAL::VERSION no longer leaks memory. It started leaking in Perl 5.10.0. The C-level my_strftime functions no longer leaks memory. This fixes a memory leak in POSIX::strftime [perl #73520]. caller no longer leaks memory when called from the DB package if @DB::args was assigned to after the first call to caller. the Carp manpage was triggering this bug [perl #97010]. Passing to index an offset beyond the end of the string when the string is encoded internally in UTF8 no longer causes panics [perl #75898]. Syntax errors in (?{..}) blocks in regular expressions no longer cause panic messages [perl #2353]. Perl 5.10.0 introduced some faulty logic that made ``U*' in the middle of a pack template equivalent to ``U0' if the input string was empty. This has been fixed [perl #90160].

split() and @_

split() no longer modifies @_ when called in scalar or void context. In void context it now produces a ``Useless use of split' warning. This is actually a change introduced in perl 5.12.0, but it was missed from that release's the perl5120delta manpage.

Perl 5.12.5 represents approximately 17 months of development since Perl 5.12.4 and contains approximately 1,900 lines of changes across 64 files from 18 authors.

The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug tracker.

Perl - The Perl 5 Language Interpreter - Metacpan.org

Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for helping Perl to flourish.

For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the AUTHORS file in the Perl source distribution.

If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.

If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the perlbug program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of perl -V, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team.

If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on CPAN.
