[perl #93590] $tainted ~~ [...] failing
When smartmatch is about to start, to avoid calling get-magic (e.g.,
FETCH methods) more than once, it copies any argument that has
get-magic.
Tainting uses get-magic to taint the expression. Calling mg_get(sv)
on a tainted scalar causes PL_tainted to be set, causing any scalars
modified by sv_setsv_flags to be tainted. That means that tainting
magic gets copied from one scalar to another.
So when smartmatch tries to copy the variable to avoid repeated calls
to magic, it still copies taint magic to the new variable.
For $scalar ~~ @array (or ~~ [...]), S_do_smartmatch calls itself
recursively for each element of @array, with $scalar (on the suppos-
edly non-magical copy of $scalar) on the left and the element on
the right.
In that recursive call, it again does the get-magic check and copies
the argument. Since the copied of a tainted variable on the LHS is
magical, it gets copied again. Since the first copy is a mortal
(marked TEMP) with a refcount of one, the second copy steal its
string buffer.
The outer call to S_do_smartmatch then proceeds with the second ele-
ment of @array, without realising that its copy of $scalar has lost
its string buffer and is now undefined.
So these produce incorrect results under -T (where $^X is ‘perl’):
$^X =~ ["whatever", undef] # matches
$^X =~ ["whatever", "perl"] # fails
This problem did not start occurring until this commit:

Better handling of magic methods freeing the SV
mg_get used to increase the refcount unconditionally, pushing it on to
the mortals stack. So the magical copy would have had a refcount of
2, preventing its string buffer from being stolen. Now it has a ref-
erence count of 1.
This commit solves it by adding a new parameter to S_do_smartmatch
telling it that the variable has already been copied and does not even
need to be checked. The $scalar~~@array case sets that parameter for
the recursive calls. That avoids the whole string-stealing problem
*and* avoids extra unnecessary SVs.

Make -l always treat non-bareword arguments as file names
Here is some suspicious code in Perl_my_lstat_flags:
if (SvROK(sv) && isGV_with_GP(SvRV(sv)) && ckWARN(WARN_IO)) {
Perl_warner(aTHX_ packWARN(WARN_IO), "Use of -l on filehandle %s",
GvENAME((const GV *)SvRV(sv)));
return (PL_laststatval = -1);
}
The behaviour differs depending on whether warnings are enabled.
That -1 turns into undef in pp_ftlink. So we get an undef return
value with warnings on, but a file test on a file name otherwise.
In 5.6.2, -l $foo always treated $foo as a file name.
In 5.8+, if it is a reference (ignoring magic) and the reference
points to a typeglob (ignoring magic) and io warnings are on, it warns
and returns undef.
So the only time that undef return is reached is when a warning has
been emitted, so it’s code that will likely be corrected before it
goes into production. Hence I think it unlikely that anyone could be
relying on the behaviour of -l \*foo (under warnings).
So this commit restores the 5.6 behaviour for that case.

Make stacked -l work
Perl 5.10.0 introduced stacked filetest operators,
-x -r $foo
being equivalent to
-r $foo && -x _
That does not work with -l. It was these suspicious lines in
Perl_my_lstat_flags that drew my attention to it:
> else if (PL_laststype != OP_LSTAT
> && (PL_op->op_private & OPpFT_STACKED) && ckWARN(WARN_IO))
> Perl_croak(aTHX_ no_prev_lstat);
That croak only happens when warnings are on. Warnings are just
supposed to be warnings, unless the ‘user’ explicitly requests
fatal warnings.
$ perl -le 'print "foo", -l -e "miniperl"'
foo
$ perl -lwe 'print "foo", -l -e "miniperl"'
The stat preceding -l _ wasn't an lstat at -e line 1.
That it doesn’t die in the first example is a bug.
In fact, it’s using the return value of -e as a file name:
$ ln -s miniperl 1
$ ./miniperl -le 'print -l -e "miniperl"'
1
And, with warnings on, if the preceding stat *was* an lstat, it
falls back to the pre-stacked behaviour, just as it does when warn-
ings are off.
It’s meant to be equivalent to -e "miniperl" && -l _ (which is why the
error message above says ‘The stat preceding -l _’).

Make IO::Handle::getline(s) respect the open pragma
See <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=66474>. Also, this
came up in <https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=92728>.
The <> operator, when reading from the magic ARGV handle, automatic-
ally opens the next file. Layers set by the lexical open pragma are
applied, if they are in scope at the point where <> is used.
This works almost all the time, because the common convention is:
use open ":utf8";
while(<>) {
...
}
IO::Handle’s getline and getlines methods are Perl subroutines
that call <> themselves. But that happens within the scope of
IO/Handle.pm, so the caller’s I/O layer settings are ignored. That
means that these two expressions are not equivalent within in a
‘use open’ scope:
<>
*ARGV->getline
The latter will open the next file with no layers applied.
This commit solves that by putting PL_check hooks in place in
IO::Handle before compiling the getline and getlines subroutines.
Those hooks cause every state op (nextstate, or dbstate under the
debugger) to have a custom pp function that saves the previous value
of PL_curcop, calls the default pp function, and then restores
PL_curcop.
That means that getline and getlines run with the caller’s compile-
time hints. Another way to see it is that getline and getlines’s own
lexical hints are never activated.
(A state op carries all the lexical pragmata. Every statement
has one. When any op executes, it’s ‘pp’ function is called.
pp_nextstate and pp_dbstate both set PL_curcop to the op itself. Any
code that checks hints looks at PL_curcop, which contains the current
run-time hints.)

h2ph generates code of the form
unless(defined(&FOO)) {
sub FOO () {42;}
}
for a C macro like '#define FOO 42'.
The problem with that: 'sub' happens at compile time, 'unless' at runtime.
So the sub is unconditionally defined first, then the unless runs with
an empty body. This behavior was introduced in commit
3d271ce79d39df56470393916b3d33ff26db2c8b (the syntax errors there were
fixed in commit

There are already two code paths there, one for indentation level > 0
(eval), the other for toplevel definitions (straight sub). This patch
unifies them to always use 'eval' / runtime definitions. This change
shortens the code and makes the conditions actually work.
It moves the check for '#define FOO FOO' further up because I don't
see why it only needs to be done if indentation == 0. I changed the
comparison to use a whitespace-agnostic regex because
'" \&$name" eq $new' looks too brittle (the redundant \ doesn't help).

Make goto &CORE::sub use the right lexical scope
Since goto &foo is supposed to replace the current sub call, as though
foo had been called instead, logically foo should see the same lexical
hints that would have been seen if it had been called to begin with.
Regular Perl subs begin with nextstate ops, so they have their own
lexical scopes, but CORE:: subs see the caller’s PL_curcop. They lack
a nextstate precisely so that they run in the caller’s scope, just as
though a built-in function had been called.
For Perl subs (as opposed to XSUBs), goto-&sub was not reset-
ting PL_curcop to the caller’s value, but leaving as it was, so
goto &CORE::sub would cause the CORE sub to run with the lexical hints
of the subroutine in replaced, instead of that sub’s caller.
This was never a problem until CORE subs came along, as they look like
Perl subs to the internals (they have an op tree and are flagged as
such), but comprise a sequence of ops that can never result from com-
piling Perl source code.
The simple one-line fix is to set PL_curcop in pp_goto for Perl subs
as well as XSUBs. (For XSUBs it is implied by POPBLOCK.)

[perl #93638] $ENV{LS_COLORS} causes miniperl glob failure
On some systems, csh croaks if the LS_COLORS envvar contains something
it considers invalid.
The easiest and least intrusive fix for now is to localize %ENV before
running csh, though eventually it might be nice to use File::Glob in
miniperl, either by linking it statically or by inlining it.

- Avoid list assignment to %ENV, which fails at compile time on VMS.
- Use consistent indentation for readability.
- Mark bsd_glob('~') tests TODO on VMS. The HOME path is successfully
retrieved, but it normally contains square brackets, which confuse
glob, because it thinks the directory portion of the path contained
within brackets is a pattern. The path probably needs to be
converted to Unix syntax first.

Disallow weakening of read-only references
$ perl -MScalar::Util=weaken -le 'DESTROY{return if$_++;weaken$_[0]}$x=bless[]'
DESTROY created new reference to dead object 'main' during global destruction.
It says that because the reference count has gone down to -1 (or the
max unsigned value, whichever it is), and the error occurs when
SvREFCNT is true. So there is no new reference to the dead object;
it’s just the refcount that’s off.
This case is worse:
$ perl -MScalar::Util=weaken -le 'DESTROY{weaken$_[0];$x=$_[0]}bless[];'
Segmentation fault
$_[0]’s reference count is normally lowered manually by sv_clear, to
avoid a recursive call to sv_clear (as lowering the reference count
normally triggers that). If the variable has been weakened, then
$_[0] no longer holds a reference count. sv_clear proceeds to destroy
at, as its reference count is 1 (held by $x), causing $x to point to a
freed scalar. Not good.
Since $_[0] is read-only anyway, it should not be weakenable.

This avoids potential problems of clashes between perl's own implementation
