Module-Generic-v1.5.9

Changes for version v1.5.9 - 2026-06-05

  • Bug fixes
    • Fixed a thread-safety defect in Module::Generic::Finfo::_datetime() that caused atime(), ctime() and mtime() to return a false value under ithreads in a non-deterministic, scheduling-dependent manner. The shared local_tz capability flag was resolved under a lock, but the DateTime::Lite object was built only inside that same locked initialisation block. Any thread that acquired the lock after another thread had already populated the flag skipped the block and left the object undefined, which then died on set_formatter(). The lock now resolves only the boolean capability flag, and the DateTime::Lite object is always built afterwards, outside the initialisation block, so every thread produces its own object regardless of which thread won the initialisation race. This clears the intermittent t/11.finfo.t "All threads accessed datetime successfully" failure observed on perl 5.18.2 smokers.
    • Hardened _datetime() to treat an undefined return from DateTime::Lite->from_epoch() as a failure even when no exception is raised, both when probing for local time zone support and when building the final object. Previously a quiet undef return could set the local_tz flag to true incorrectly, or fall through to set_formatter() on an undefined object.
