Changes for version 3.24 - 2012-06-03

  • RT #74393: corrected typo in M::B integration docs.
  • RT #63473: fix typo.
  • RT #49732: Attempt to load File::Glob::Windows to get correct glob semantics on Win32.
  • RT #47890: Don't use Win32::GetShortPathName.
  • RT #64404: Ignore textness ('-T') of script when reading shebang.
  • Handle the case where we don't know the wait status of the test more gracefully.
  • Make the test summary 'ok' line overrideable so that it can be changed to a plugin to make the output of prove idempotent.
  • Apply upstream patch:
    • http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit \ /6359c64336d99060952232e7e300bd3c31afead8
    • In testargs.t in Test::Harness, don't run a world-writable file.
    • The test writes a file, then changes the mode, then executes it. The file needs to be +x to be executable (on many platforms). The file will need to be +w to be deletable on some platforms. But setting the file world writable just before running it feels like a bad idea, given that the file's name is as predictable as process IDs, as there's a race condition to break into the account running perl's tests.
