perl5224delta - what is new for perl v5.22.4

=head1 DESCRIPTION
8+
9+
This document describes differences between the 5.22.3 release and the 5.22.4
10+
release.
11+
12+
If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.22.2, first read

=head2 Improved handling of '.' in @INC in base.pm
18+
19+
The handling of (the removal of) C<'.'> in C<@INC> in L<base> has been
20+
improved. This resolves some problematic behaviour in the approach taken in
21+
Perl 5.22.3, which is probably best described in the following two threads on
22+
the Perl 5 Porters mailing list:
23+
L<http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2016/08/msg238991.html>,

25+
26+
=head2 "Escaped" colons and relative paths in PATH
27+
28+
On Unix systems, Perl treats any relative paths in the PATH environment
29+
variable as tainted when starting a new process. Previously, it was allowing a
30+
backslash to escape a colon (unlike the OS), consequently allowing relative
31+
paths to be considered safe if the PATH was set to something like C</\:.>. The
32+
check has been fixed to treat C<.> as tainted in that example.

Perl 5.22.4 represents approximately 6 months of development since Perl 5.22.3
65+
and contains approximately 2,200 lines of changes across 52 files from 16
66+
authors.
67+
68+
Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
69+
approximately 970 lines of changes to 18 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.

Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant community
72+
of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed
73+
the improvements that became Perl 5.22.4:

helping Perl to flourish.

=head1 Reporting Bugs
93+
94+
If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently
95+
posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at
96+
https://rt.perl.org/ . There may also be information at
97+
http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
98+
99+
If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> program
100+
included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but
101+
sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of C<perl -V>,
102+
will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team.
103+
104+
If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
105+
inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it
106+
to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
107+
unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be
108+
able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
109+
co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
110+
platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
111+
security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on
112+
CPAN.
