Branch: CURRENT, Version: 5.10.1, Package name: perl-5.10.1, Maintainer: jlam

Perl is a general-purpose programming language originally developed
for text manipulation and now used for a wide range of tasks including
system administration, web development, network programming, GUI
development, and more. The language is intended to be practical (easy
to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant,
minimal). Its major features are that it's easy to use, supports both
procedural and object-oriented (OO) programming, has powerful built-in
support for text processing, and has one of the world's most impressive
collections of third-party modules.

Log message:
Use "PKG_PREFIX" if it is set and the compiled in path otherwise.
Based on a suggestion by Steven Drake.

Log message:
Don't use "${PKG_PREFIX}" which is not set when this script gets run.
This avoids error messages from "perllink" while deinstalling (or
updateing) a Perl module package.

Fixed based on an analysis provided by Steven Drake on "tech-pkg".

Log message:
We intentionally wire down the 'libswanted' list in the package Makefile, so
don't let the hints file add new libraries that may be found outside Pkgsrc
control.

Fixes build on Gentoo system, and possibly other Linux systems too that might
have stray -lgdbm_compat libraries lying around.  This reverts hints/linux.sh
to look more like it did in 5.10.0.

Log message:
Update perl from version 5.10.0nb6 to version 5.10.1.

Pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust some patches
- Remove patches integrated upstream

Upstream changes:
"5.10.1 is a maintenance release for perl 5.10, incorporating various
minor bugfixes and optimisations."

Nonetheless some incompatibles changes are noteworthy and are related
to:
- flip-flop and defined-or operators behavior in switch statement
- type-based dispatch and overloading of the smart match operator
- 'use feature :5.10*' semantics
- Perl development switched to git
- internal structure of the ext/ perl source directory changed
- removal of the modules Test::Harness::Straps, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes
and ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish
- the Module::CoreList module no longer contains the %:patchlevel hash
- a bugfix related to the handling of the /m modifier and qr resulted
in a change of behaviour between 5.8.x and 5.10.0 (this was missing from
perl 5.10.0 perldelta).
