I'm not certain whether the policy for Perl minor releases such as 5.24.1 is as minimal as possible, just security and bug fixes, or whether they are also allowed to contain small feature enhancements. If the latter... I would like to request that Perl 5.24.1 include List::Util 1.45, which is the same as the version 1.42 that Perl 5.24.0 bundled except for adding a couple useful "uniq" functions plus fixing a few bugs. List::Util 1.45 was released stable to CPAN on 2016 March 24, a month before Perl 5.24.0 came out. While I understand using version 1.42 instead may have been used out of caution since List::Util may have still been in the midst of developing the "uniq" feature (1.44 came out a week earlier with a different version), at this point 1.45 has been out for a solid 3 months without any further changes, and Perl 5.25.1+ includes it, so I think its probably safe for 5.24.1 also. Note that part of my motivation for raising this is that "uniq" is now the only remaining function from List::MoreUtils that I use in some CPAN modules (I also used {any,all,notall} which List::Util gained in time for Perl 5.20.0); once a "stable" Perl is released with List::Util 1.45+, my module will have no runtime dependencies aside from the core Perl (for users on the latest). That aside, I think having this enhancement in core will benefit other users sooner as well. And if nothing else, you can still do it for the bug fixes that 1.45 has. Thank you. -- Darren DuncanThread Next
