| Summary | 0004513: Update to Perl 5.12.1 | |||||||||||
| Description |
Ref: http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.12.1/ [^] Please update to Perl 5.12.1 on Solaris. * Perl now conforms much more closely to the Unicode standard. Additionally, this release includes an upgrade to version 5.2 of the standard. * New experimental APIs allow developers to extend Perl with "pluggable" keywords and syntax. * Perl now has a better sense of time and will be able to keep accurate time well past the "Y2038" barrier. * New syntax allows developers to specify package version numbers directly in "package" statements * Perl now warns the user about the use of deprecated features by default. |

Hi Ken, I am a bit reluctant to bump Perl again just as we fix the last issues with Perl 5.10. Perl 5.12.1 is supposedly not ABI compatible and would again require a rebuild of more than 100 modules: http://wiki.opencsw.org/project-perl [^] |

I think we now have a stable Perl 5.10.1 with the new INC and all modules respun to match. I'm not sure what's more important, a 64-bit Perl or 5.12.x? Both would take a lot of work including testing. |
|

Maybe we should do both things at the same time as both require a complete rebuild. We could also sanitize all module names in this goal like "global Perl refresh" |

New 5.12.3 packages in http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#perl-dublin. [^] Built separately for 5.9 and 5.10, DTrace support enabled in 5.10 builds. Note that all binary modules are broken when run with this perl since they have not been rebuilt yet. |

Note that Perl 5.14 was released and that with that release the perl-porters declared end of support for 5.10. It might make sense to go straight to 5.14 at this point. |

I agree, we're already looking into it but it seems more tests fail with 5.14. Also the wanted 64 bit support is holding us back. The (32 bit) 5.12.3 packages listed above are working fine but all our (binary) modules are for 5.10 so it's not really usable. |
