Hi, Well, our package has been updated to Perl 5.8.3, and attached to this message you can find the new temporary file handling patch. There're also temporary file handling issues and/or bad practices recommended in: INSTALL makeaperl.SH perly.fixer ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/grind and in OS-specific files that are not used on Linux, especially in documentation files. CGI.pm's temporary file handling needs to be re-done making use of File::Temp. -- Alexander Peslyak <solar@openwall.com> GPG key ID: B35D3598 fp: 6429 0D7E F130 C13E C929 6447 73C3 A290 B35D 3598 http://www.openwall.com - bringing security into open computing environments On Sat, Apr 26, 2003 at 09:34:13PM +0400, Solar Designer wrote: > On Sat, Apr 26, 2003 at 08:36:54AM -0000, Arthur Bergman wrote: > > Is this still a problem with 5.8.0, any patches that have not been applied to should be > > applied? > > It's been more than half a year since I've been doing these patches, > but as far as I remember, -- yes, some would be needed for 5.8.0 as > well. > > Our Perl package in Openwall GNU/*/Linux is still based around 5.6.0 > with these and other patches.
