kurila16delta - what is new for Perl Kurila 1.6
This document describes differences between Perl Kurila 1.5 and Perl Kurila 1.6
An error is raised if an undefined subroutine is called (Any AUTOLOAD subroutine is ignored).
v-syntax create 'version' objects.
v-syntax must be used to do version checks
If a globs is attempted to be stringied or numified an error is given.
If you call a undefined subroutine and it isn't defined you get an error. No attempt to use AUTOLOAD is made. The same applies of course to method calls: if the method isn't found an error is raised.
Use of v-string create version objects, i.e. v1.2.3 would be similar to version-new("v1.2.3")>. Use of numbers with multiple decimal dots (like 1.2.3, thus without a 'v'), will give a compile error. There is no VSTRING type.
v1.2.3
version-
1.2.3
The VERSION in use Module VERSION LIST and use Module VERSION should be v-syntax, i.e. a 'v' followed by a digit, anything else will not be seen as a version.
VERSION
use Module VERSION LIST
use Module VERSION
There is a new function Symbol::glob_name($glob) which returns the name of the glob. Symbol::glob_name returns the name fully qualified, but without a leading '*'. For example: Symbol::glob_name(*STDERR) eq "main::STDERR"
Symbol::glob_name($glob)
Symbol::glob_name(*STDERR) eq "main::STDERR"
Most of these modules don't work without AUTOLOAD, but there should be no reason to use them.
Many modules have small adjust, because of the removal of AUTOLOAD. Including ExtUtils::Constant of which ExtUtils::Constants::WriteConstants should be used with PROXYSUBS = 1>.
