Make newCONSTSUB use the right warning scope.
newCONSTSUB uses the compile-time warning hints, instead of the run-
time hints. This means that
use warnings;
BEGIN {
no warnings;
some_XS_function_that_calls_new_CONSTSUB();
}
may trigger a redefinition warning, whereas it should be analogous to
use warnings;
BEGIN {

newCONSTSUB localises PL_curcop and sets it to &PL_compiling. When it
does that, it needs to copy the hints over.

added one.

If I’m reading this code correctly, it did so by nulling out whatever
op used to come after the pushmark (now it is always a null):
$ perl -MO=Concise -e 'sort $fo @fo'8 <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC ->(end)
1 <0> enter ->2
2 <;> nextstate(main 1 -e:1) v:{ ->3

4 <#> gvsv[*fo] s ->5
6 <1> rv2av[t3] lK/1 ->7
5 <#> gv[*fo] s ->6
-e syntax OK
To preserve the globref support (which the nulled op was providing
before), it added it to sv_2cv, which was the wrong place if you ask
me. Now it means that &{\*_} works, in addition to &{*_}. Other
deref ops don’t have this property. Bug? Maybe. But we can just
pretend it’s a feature and live with it.
In any case, extracting the entry of a typeglob without calling get-
magic on it first doesn’t seem right.

Call FETCH once on handle passed as 3rd arg to open()
When open() has three arguments and the second ends with & the third

In some cases get-magic was being skipped; in others, it was being
called three times.
This commit fixes it by modifying sv_2io.
In 5.8.x (before commit
7a5fd60d4), sv_2io did not call get-magic at
all except when croaking ("Bad filehandle: %"SVf). In 5.10.0 (after
commit
7a5fd60d4), it started calling get-magic only if the sv was
neither a glob, a reference, or undef. So it has never been reliable
in its invocation of get-magic.
sv_2io now consistently skips get-magic on the sv passed in directly
to it (open(), the only caller in the core, has already called get-
magic before passing it in). It now calls get-magic on SvRV(sv) if
what is passed in is a reference, so open(fh, ">&", \$tied) will work.

narrower localisation of PL_compcv around eval
PL_compcv used to be localised around the entire string eval process,
and hence at runtime of the evaled code would refer to the evaled code
rather than code of a surrounding compilation. This interfered with the
ability of string-evaled code in a BEGIN block to affect the surrounding
compilation, in a similar way to the localisation of $^H and %^H that
was fixed in
f45b078d20.
Similar to the fix there, this change moves the localisation of PL_compcv
inside the new evalcomp scope. A couple of things were relying on
PL_compcv to find the running code when in a string-eval scope; they now
need to find it from cx->blk_eval.cv, which was already being populated.

Make sure $DB::sub is callable
When DB::sub is about to be called (to handle a subroutine call under
the debugger), $DB::sub is set to the name of the subroutine or a ref-
erence to it.
Sometimes $DB::sub is set to the name when the subroutine is not call-
able under that name. That should not happen.
This logic in util.c:Perl_get_db_sub decides whether a reference
should be used:
if ( svp && ((CvFLAGS(cv) & (CVf_ANON | CVf_CLONED))
|| strEQ(GvNAME(gv), "END")
|| ((GvCV(gv) != cv) && /* Could be imported, and old sub redefined. */
!( (SvTYPE(*svp) == SVt_PVGV)
&& (GvCV((const GV *)*svp) == cv)
&& (gv = (GV *)*svp)
)
)
)) {
/* Use GV from the stack as a fallback. */
(That comment about using the GV from the stack as a fallback applies
to the assignment to gv, but was mistakenly divorced from it in commit
3de9ffa12.)
This logic (introduced in
71be2cbc7 [inseparable changes from
perl5.003_13 to perl5.003_14] and integrated into blead in
491527d02)
tries to find a GV that points to the CV, trying the CV’s own GV
first, and falling back to what is on the stack. But it does not
account for GVs that are not found under their names, which can hap-
pen when a glob is copied and the original is undefined ($foo = *bar;
undef *bar; &$foo) or when a stash element or package is deleted, such
as via Symbol::delete_package.
If the subroutine is not locatable under its own name or the name
under which it was called (the name of the GV argument to entersub),
then a reference should be passed. Otherwise a name that can access
the sub should be passed.
So this commit adds more (no, not more!) conditions to make sure the
gv is actually reachable under its name before using a string.
Since, for effiency, those conditions do not perform an actual symbol
lookup, but simply look inside the GV’s stash, we can no longer rely
on gv_efullname (or even gv_fullname), as the stash may have been
moved around, but use HvENAME and construct the GV name ourselves.

Update IO-Compress to CPAN version 2.042
[DELTA]
2.042 17 November 2011
* IO::Compress::Zip
- Added exUnixN option to allow creation of the "ux" extra field.
This allows 32-bit UID/GID to be stored.
- In one-shot mode use exUnixN rather than exUnix2 for the UID/GID.

Create Porting/pod_rules.pl, with all non perltoc.pod code from buildtoc.
pod/buildtoc now only generates pod/perltoc.pod, and only takes a --quiet

This splits functionality which generates a new file at build time from
functionality for maintainers, which edits files in place. This permits the
unwinding of some of commit
02cc404a20a8a345, which achieved net
simplification in pod/buildtoc by merging code paths dealing with new files
(only pod/perltoc.pod) and existing files being edited.
pod_rules.pl has a --tap option, instead of buildtoc's non-standard --test
option, and defaults to --build-all if no arguments are passed. As buildtoc
now does one job, it no longer takes a --build-toc option, hence all the
Makefiles which call it need updating.

other purpose, and the values in the hashes were only needed for truth tests,
