With commit ec268cc8df7c7a90811a099d422eef6a31bf9f8b, between 5.27.1 and 5.27.2, my_strerror() was removed from the public API. I think this was a mistake and it should be restored. It provides a useful facility that's otherwise difficult to achieve: errno-based messages that are responsive to "use locale" in the same way as $!. I use it for this purpose in the CPAN module Hash::SharedMem, and its withdrawal from the public API breaks its intended behaviour of matching $!. -zeframThread Next
