Which I calculate is 20.04 hours
Approximately 13 tickets were reviewed or otherwise worked on, and 2
patches were applied
This week I prepare alternate patches for two tickets, #3330 and
#115928.
[perl #3330] This adds a warning when the user attempts to use perl's
increment operator on a string that isn't a number and doesn't match
/^[A-Za-z]+[0-9]+/.
[perl #115928] The original issue is that rand() on Win32 only has a
15-bit result, the minimum expected by C89.
This ticket produced various wild ideas (from a "let's make random
numbers" standpoint.)
I wrote a patch to take Yves's copy of the freebsd implementation and
use that as perl's random number generator.
