The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 1.29

  • Add a workaround for the 'rand' bug for perl 5.8.1 (compiled with either -DUSE_HASH_SEED or -DUSE_HASH_SEED_EXPLICIT, which is the default), causing all forked procs to produce the same rand sequence. [Stas]
  • For Win32, add an INSTALL_LIB option to 'perl Makefile.PL' to allow one to specify where to install mod_perl.lib. If not given, this defaults to APACHE_SRC\libexec, if this exists. Suggested by Steve Hay [randyk]
  • Fix t/net/perl/sym.pl (called by modules/symbol) not to affect other tests (internal/http-get and internal/http-post, which were failing to call exit) [Stas]
  • Fix Apache::ExtUtils to work with blead perl (it was breaking the build) http://rt.perl.org/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=23803 [Stas]
  • On Win32 the uploaded file wasn't cleaned up (weither it's a bug in CGI.pm or not), make sure we don't leave any dropped files around
  • Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>
    • For Win32, keep drive letters in mod_perl.dsp to fix bug, reported by DH <crazyinsomniac@yahoo.com>, when compiling mod_perl in cases where Apache and Perl are on different drives [Randy Kobes].
    • Add workaround to define statcache in Apache.xs so that one can build on Win32 ActivePerl 8xx with LARGE_FILES support [Randy Kobes]
