Changes for version 1.42 - 2003-08-03

  • Bug fix release for Perl 5.8.1 (see Perl bug #23143).
  • For the first time, the EyeDrops test suite uncovered a Perl bug (dance a little jig): recur.t, test 4 failed on Perl 5.8.1-RC2 with the error: panic: pad_free curpad. Thanks merlyn for reporting. Since this bug won't be fixed for 5.8.1, we workaround it by never using $_ as a filler variable
  • sightly.t: run generated test programs in taint mode
  • tests: renamed to more appropriate names
  • tests: new long running test 13_to.t
  • documentation: added "Getting Started" section
  • documentation: fixed program in "Naked Arm Wrestling" section
