As you've all clearly demonstrated that you care about Perl 5 development,
would you all be so kind as to download this snapshot, install it on your
development servers, test it with your production code, and report any
issues. I'd be grateful for reports of regressions against 5.8.x, as I tend
to find them easier to fix before the release :-)

  http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/P/perl-30145.tar.bz2

Thanks.

[Sorry, Craig, I've not had a chance to look at the VMS issues yet.
Sorry Jarkko I've not nailed the g++ issues yet.]

Also, Tim Bunce commented to me that the amount of work that the committers
quietly get on with in the background is easy to miss, so here are the
changes since the previous snapshot. [And sorry, they're a bit less than I
hoped - I got bogged down in a couple of misbehaving patches and fixing bugs
in blead]

             Correct some assumptions about PVBM table offset in B.xs
             
             [ 29541]
             In theory Perl_magic_setbm() should clear SvTAIL() too. In practice,
             I don't think that it matters as this routine is never actualy called
             because nothing exposes PVBMs to the world so that the world can assign
             to them.
             
             [ 29635]
             Eliminate BmPREVIOUS_set - with the complexity gone from how the datum
             is stored, there's no need for it.
             
             [ 29637]
             In Perl_fbm_compile, really rarest should be U32 not I32, as it is
             set from a U32, and used as an array index.

             Get rid of unnecessary "rmdir /s" calls in Win32 makefiles
             
             They only existed for the benefit of old shells that didn't
             understand "rmdir /s /q", but since change #27195 effectively
             drops support for old shells that don't understand "xcopy /y"
             it seems unnecessary now.
             
             Windows NT4, 2000, XP and onwards all support "rmdir /s /q", so
             it's probably only the Windows 9x shells that lose out.
             
             [ 27500]
             The first step in supporting VC++ 8.0.  Added macros for the free .NET 2.0 SDK and Visual Studio
             2005.  Added these macros to "if" conditions that were appropriate.  Added a fix to prevent
             the .NET 1.1 and 2.0 SDK compilers from attempting to build perlglob.exe (they are both missing
             the setargv.obj file necessary to do it).
             
             [ 27503]
             Additions to README.win32 and win32/Makefile based on comments from

             Install POD files into "lib\pods" rather than "lib\pod" on Win32
             to avoid clashing with "lib\Pod" (cf. perl change #26363)
             
             Also remove a couple of unused macros from the makefiles
             
             [ 27532]
             Make "distclean" target on Win32 clean up temporary HTML directory
             that gets left behind after running the "install" target.
             Also clean up a couple of leftover pod2html cache files.

             These changes provide better support for building XS extension modules
             using VC++ or MinGW when perl itself was built with the opposite of
             those two compilers.

             Revert change #15705 (Core dump in 'leavetry')
             This fixes bug #34682, reintroduces bug #8738 (ID 20020301.011),
             and reintroduces an eval optimisation for innter runops levels
             
             [ 24363]
             Better fix for #8738  (Core dump in 'leavetry')
             When in an inner runops loop (eg via a tie or sort), an eval
             needs a new JMPENV pushing by S_docatch. If an exception is raised,
             control is returned to S_docatch, and it must determine whether
             the eval that trapped the exception is an inner eval or an outer
             one. In the former case, restart the loop, in the latter case,
             rethrow the exception. This is determined by whether we are still
             at the same PL_curstackinfo level. This fails in the case of
             SPLICE(), which pushes a new SETJMP and runops level, but not a
             new stackinfo level. There may be other code which does similar.
             The solution is to store the current value of PL_top_env in each
             pushed CxEVAL, and see if it's still the same as PL_top_env when
             the exception is handled.

             Change 29502 wasn't perfect - you need to remove any extra trailing
             "\n" added by fbm_compile(), before recompiling with the same flags.
             In turn, to do that, it's best to store the flags even for short

             some of the time (i.e. when the substitution contains something

             on the right side of s///.
             However, this fix does not work under taint mode, and op/subst.t
             has -T.

             Remove -T from op/subst.t, and add a new test file, substT.t,

             RT #6006 as TODO, but only with -T.

             (Hopefully) fix coredumps in ByteLoader, which were a side effect of
             fixing a bug in B, and non-robust autogenerated code. When
             autogenerating initialiser statements for an array, it's a bad plan to
             have the size of that array hard coded.

             Coverity was getting upset about an assignment from a function
             returning int to a U8 variable. Curiously it was only getting upset
             about the first of many.
             However, we are doing NO ERROR CHECKING on whether we read in the
             requested number of bytes of bytecode. All except BGET_op_tr_array
             will now croak on a short read.

        Log: Change 28489 giveth, and change 28488 taketh away. (Although for most
             people time flows forwards, so they won't see it this way). But the
             problem is that 28488 taketh away the {}, and whilst 28489 puteth them
             back, 28489 was about state variables, so I'm not merging it.
             Hence this need for a manual fixup. (And something else I'd like to
             fixup is gcc, for not having a C89-death-or-glory flag)
