Changes for version 9999.26 - 2019-02-13

  • Reduce the size of handle.t to prevent failures on systems with limits set
  • Skip all tests in the suite that relied on overriding syswrite to test failure mechanisms as CORE::print cannot be overridden.
  • Refactor write_file to use print rather than syswrite.
    • When performing an atomic write, make sure we find a good temporary file so that we don't accidentally overwrite a file that may already exist in the working directory.
    • Stop re-working the line endings on write_file when on Windows as the use of print now allows layers to provide that functionality.
  • Add File::Basename, File::Spec, File::Temp, and IO::Handle to the runtime prereqs. These were already testing prereqs and are core.
  • Perl 5.30 compliance is complete at this point.
