croak on an attempt to run a directory as a script
How many times have I meant to run "perl -I lib myprog" but instead
run "perl lib myprog" only to exit 0 because that's what perl does
when you try to run a directory as a script (at least on unix)? Many.
perl should croak when instructed to execute a directory.

everywhere. Tests not yet written.

New regex experimental feature: (?[ ])
This is a fancier [bracketed] character class which allows set
operations, such as intersection and subtraction. The entry in perlre
for this commit details its operation.
Besides extending regular expressions to handle this functionality,
recommended by Unicode, the intent here is to do three things:
1) Intersection has been simulated by regexes using zero-width
look-around assertions, which are non-obvious. This allows replacing
those with a more powerful and clearer syntax; the compiled regexes
are smaller and faster. Everything is known at compile time.
2) Set operations have also been simulated by using user-defined Unicode
properties. These are globals, have security implications,
restricted names, and d don't allow as complex expressions as this
new feature.
3) I hope that this feature will come to be viewed as a "better"
bracketed character class. I took advantage of the fact that there
is no embedded base to have to be compatibile with to forbid certain
iffy practices with the existing ones, while remaining mostly
backwards compatible. The main difference is that /x is always
enabled, so white space can be pretty much freely used with these,
but to specify a match on white space, it must be escaped. Things
that should have been illegal are, such as \x{}, and \x{abcdefghi}.
Things that look like a posix specifier but don't quite meet the
rules now give an error instead of silently compiling. e.g., [:digit]
is an error instead of the union of the characters that compose it.
I may have omitted things; perhaps it should be an error to have the
same letter occur twice, adjacent. Since this is experimental, we
can make such changes based on field feed back.
The intent is to keep this feature, since it is strongly recommended by
Unicode. The exact syntax is subject to change, so is experimental.

Pod::Html test portability redux.
The flurry of activity to get these tests passing in the lead-up to
5.16.0 swept several issues under the rug. In particular, some
of the tests had failures on VMS that became invisible once we
started skipping them wherever dots are not allowed in directory
names (which is true by default on VMS now, but is likely to change
very shortly).
The facts behind my changes, in no particular order:
File::Spec->rootdir() returns, on VMS, a a special string that will
not be found in any actual pathname, so taking the length of it and
stripping that much off the front of an actual pathname produces
garbage.
File::Spec->rootdir(), on VMS, returns a string that contains a volume
specification, so simply prepending a volume to it produces garbage.
To portably produce a complete path, use catpath().
Windows appears not to care which direction the slashes are leaning,
and VMS can handle pure-Unix paths as long as they aren't pasted onto
components of native paths, so it's reasonbly safe to obtain directory
components with splitdir, and join them together with forward slashes.
The tests pass a value to --podpath that is not absolute, but nor
is it relative in the usual sense. It's apparently intended to be
relative to the filesystem root, which is an inherently non-portable
concept as neither Windows nor VMS has such a thing. The best that
can be done (without a complete rethink of the tests and perhaps the
module) is to make it relative to the top-level directory on the
current volume.

Add parens around second argument to tests 4 and 5.
If a description were to be added to these tests, in the absence of
parentheses the scalar prototype of CORE::not would enforce a scalar context
onto the balance of the statement, leading to apparently anomalous behavior,
viz., the descriptions would not be printed and test 5 would be reported to
FAIL.

charnames: Deprecate character names with spacing issues
A user-defined character name with trailing or multiple spaces in a row
is likely a typo, and hence likely won't match what the other uses of
it. These names also won't work if we extend :loose to these. This
now generates a warning.

I'm only adding a test for one of the two fixed paths, as the other one

make m?$pat? match only once under ithreads
[perl #115080]
m?...? is only supposed to match once, until reset. Normally this is done
by setting the PMf_USED flag on the PMOP. Under ithreads we can't modify
ops, so instead we indicate by setting the regex's SV to readonly. (This
is a bit of a hack: the flag should be associated with the PMOP, not the
regex).
This breaks with run-time regexes when the pattern gets recompiled; for
example:
for my $c (qw(a b c)) {
print "matched $c\n" if $c =~ m?^$c$?;
}
outputs
matched a
on unthreaded, but
matched a
matched b
matched c
on threaded.
The re_eval jumbo fix made this more noticeable by sometimes recompiling
even when the pattern text hasn't changed (to make closures work ok).
The quick fix is to propagate the readonlyness of the old re to the new
re. (The proper fix would be to store the flag state in a pad slot
associated with the PMOP).
Needless to say, I've gone for the quick fix.

Update podlators to CPAN version 2.5.0
[DELTA]
2013-01-02 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
* VERSION: podlators 2.5.0 released.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (guesswork): Extend a small-caps section through
the punctuation that commonly appears in license disclaimers so
that small caps isn't turned on and off at the boundaries of every
word, producing unreadable *roff.
* t/man.t: Test the updated small-caps behavior.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (new): Support a new errors option with values
die, stderr, pod, and none. Convert the stderr option to the
errors option with value stderr. (#39007)
(end_document): Die if errors was set to die and there were POD
syntax errors.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (new): Likewise.
(end_document): Likewise.
* scripts/pod2man: Support a new --errors option that sets the
underlying errors formatter option and default to dying on POD
syntax errors.
* scripts/pod2text: Likewise.
* t/man-options.t: Add support for catching exceptions during
formatting. Test valid and invalid errors settings.
* t/text-options.t: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (cmd_l): Add nourls option to suppress the URL
from L<> formatting codes that contain anchor text. (#62210)
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (cmd_l): Likewise.
* scripts/pod2man: New --nourls option to set the corresponding
option in Pod::Man.
* scripts/pod2text: Likewise for Pod::Text.
* t/man-options.t: Test new nourls option.
* t/text-options.t: Likewise.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (outindex): Also collapse consecutive whitespace
in index term text.
* t/man.t: Test for handling of index terms containing whitespace.

* t/text-encoding.t: Remove the test of a POD document without an
encoding. We previously tested that this interpreted the document
as ISO 8859-1, but Pod::Simple behavior has changed so that the
test started failing, plus Pod::Simple now warns about a missing
=encoding. (#77553)
