Changes for version 2.16 - 2016-04-13

  • commit 3ae73a349f70f06c60de3f635916929bc8643429 Author: Alex Vandiver <alex@chmrr.net> Date: Tue Apr 12 00:33:21 2016 -0700
    • Ensure that IO::Socket::IP is DESTROY'd before can_bind returns
    • be316f1f worked around a core perl bug[1] which causes Perl < 5.24.0 to DESTROY the IO::Socket::IP object too late, causing the empty port to not actually be empty if it was used immediately.
    • Unfortunately, this change was lost in ba745fd1, which again put the return of `can_bind` on the stack along with the actual return value, re-instating the bug.
    • Split the statement across two statements again, and add a comment on the importance of preserving it.
