Changes for version 6.51 - 2016-06-25

  • 6.5 release didn't compile on most older perls due to a logic error enabling experimental 5.24 code for all versions.
  • since various broken or deficient patches float around to work around the vtbl API breakage in perl, let's provide our own workaround, which seems to be much less invasive and more compatible than the approaches seen so far. YMMV.
  • work around assertion failure in perl_destruct on 5.24 (analyzed by Dave Mitchell).
