I often argue that the terms movie and film come under different definitions. A movie is an enjoyable theater experience that creates memorable characters. A film is made for artistic purposes with qualities in the behind-the-scenes areas taking the forefront. Not since Fargo has there been such a good movie/film. In fact this is the best one since Fargo.
Unfortunately, it is not often that a movie qualifying as an action picture will even be given a second look for Oscar contention. Face/Off deserves such attention. John Woo is a technical wizard on this picture with an almost surreal opening in which a child gets shot. Then, toward the middle of the film, we witness a shootout through a child's eyes as he listens to "Over the Rainbow" on a headset. It is truly a spectacular moment that you will remember.
The drama and charcter development are established in this film pushing it beyond the limits of Eraser or Con Air.  We then move to six years later as Troy plots to demolish Los Angeles in a cold-blooded bombing. In order to diffuse the bomb, Asher is coaxed into trading faces with Troy, who is in a coma. This top secret mission, however, heads down the wrong path. Troy wakes up and forces Asher's face to be transplanted onto himself.
From there, plot shifts abound as suddenly Cage is playing the kind-hearted guy and Travolta the dispicable one. Cage illuminates the screen as he watches the evil Asher (Troy) gain credit for saving the city. The real Asher is helpless and now he must save his well-being by getting Troy.
Joan Allen (Nixon, The Crucible) magnificently portrays the third of a series of tortured wives. The depths that John Woo has extended the action genre into amazes. A shootout in a church toward the end works the viewer into a frenzy, but the film still is not over.
It runs an enjoyable and quick two hours and ten minutes. And is truly worthy of highest honors. Cage deserves an actor nod since he had to create the bad guy and then earn back our sympathies as the good guy. Cage's work let Travolta off easy, though he was spectacular as well. The direction was top-notch, and its easily the best picture since Fargo.
Maybe the academy will take notice of this intelligent and ground-breaking film. It isn't often that I do this, but the film was extremely impressive.

How to Make a 151 Swizzle
The classic Caribbean swizzle is a strong drink, but a pliant one: it will not protest if you diddle with its simple mix of overproof rum, lime, sugar and bitters, churned with crushed ice.
In Trinidad in the 1920s, the Long Bar of the Queen’s Park Hotel added mint to the mix to make a high-octane Mojito called the Queen’s Park Swizzle. At Fort Lauderdale’s Mai-Kai Polynesian Restaurant in 1956, head bartender Mario Licudine’s 151 Swizzle skipped the mint but swapped out the sugar for a cinnamon syrup. And at the Tiki-Ti in Los Angeles, owner Ray Buhen upped the Mai-Kai’s ante in 1961 by adding apple to the cinnamon in the Ti’s version of the 151 Swizzle, for a pie-eyed liquid apple pie.
Both the Mai-Kai and the Tiki-Ti based their 151 swizzles on Don The Beachcomber’s drink of the same name, which didn’t mess with cinnamon syrup or apple juice but opted for a subtle anise note.
To make the Beachcomber’s 151 Swizzle: into an electric blender put 1/2 ounce each fresh lime juice and sugar syrup; 1 1/2 ounces 151-proof Hamilton Demerara rum or Lemon Hart 151 rum; a dash of Angostura bitters, 6 drops Pernod or Herbsaint, and 8 ounces (1 cup) crushed ice. Flash-blend at high speed for no more than 5 seconds. Pour unstrained into a flared metal swizzle cup, adding more crushed ice to fill. Dust with nutmeg. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.
What? You say you don’t have a flared metal swizzle cup? Surely you jest. For over 40 years, the 151 Swizzle was never served any other way.

BREAKING British Steel saved after £70million deal with Chinese firm Jingye
China's Jingye Group has agreed to buy British Steel in a deal worth £70million that could protect 4,000 UK jobs
by James Andrews, http://www.facebook.com/jameswritesmoney/Chinese firm Jingye Group has said it will buy British Steel for £70million - safeguarding 4,000 jobs at the company and as many as 20,000 in the supply chain, the Insolvency Service has confirmed.
The takeover ends uncertainty over the fate of the company, which was put into compulsory liquidation in May after Greybull Capital, which bought it for £1 from Tata Steel three years ago, failed to secure funding to continue its operations.
Jingye is a privately owned Chinese corporation founded and led by Li Ganpo a former senior Communist Party official who became a self-made industrial tycoon.
[Are you a British Steel worker? Let us know what you think of today’s news on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>]
Jingye also looks set to promise up to £300million in loans, indemnities and grants to back its plan to boost production at the firm's Scunthorpe plant by 10%.
British Steel, which makes products used in construction and rail, would give Jingye access to Europe's large infrastructure market.
News of the deal broke after staff were sent an email from Sam Woodward, a special manager from accountancy EY that is assisting the Official Receiver, reading: "As you are aware, Jingye has been undertaking accelerated due diligence for the last two weeks, and I am pleased to advise that it is progressing well.
"As many of you may know, we have been working towards a target date of exchanging contracts by 10 November 2019 and we are all working hard to keep to that timescale."
It added than an update was expected today.

College basketball player in Georgia charged with murder
by Associated PressATLANTA (AP) — A starting point guard for a Georgia university’s women’s basketball team is one of five people indicted in the July killing of a man found dead in an Atlanta parking deck.
A Fulton County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman said Kennesaw State University’s Kamiyah Street turned herself in Thursday. She remained in the county jail Monday without bond. Online court records didn’t list an attorney who could comment on her behalf.
The university’s athletic department said in an emailed statement that once it found out about her arrest Thursday, the 20-year-old Street was “suspended indefinitely.”
Street and the four men named in the Oct. 22 indictment all face charges including murder in the shooting death of 21-year-old Nashiem Hubbard-Etienne. Atlanta police say preliminary information indicates that shooting appears to have been targeted.

By memberOf , do you mean something like that of adding the collections or something on the backend? I can't see if there is something up with their assocation with the SAE project now.
I also wonder if moving boxes from one project to another also is an issue? This is the ephemera that transfers materials from a locked down project to the SAE project, once external contributors have completed metadtata.

Our Church fellowship is based on the fundamental truths of Christianity, as set out in the Bible. Here is a non-technical summary of its basic message. If you want to see some of the detail that lies behind this, or to check that this really does come from the Bible, click this link to view our Statement of Faith.
What We Believe:
- This is God's world. He made it and is in charge of it. God has declared his Son, Jesus, to be Ruler over his world and we know this because Jesus rose again from the dead. Jesus has the right to run our lives.
- Everyone is rebellious to the fact that Jesus should run their lives. They may express this in open hostility, or by passive indifference. In either case, the rebellion is real.
- God calls on us to stop rebelling and to turn back and submit to Jesus as our rightful Ruler.
- If a person will not submit to Jesus but continues to rebel, in the end God will send that person to eternal punishment, because he or she has rejected God's appointed Ruler.
- If a person does stop rebelling and turns back to submit to Jesus as his or her Ruler, God forgives that person and treats them as if they had never rebelled. He does this because Jesus has already taken the punishment for their rebellion when he himself died on the cross.
- The Lord Jesus Christ will return to this world as Ruler. He will raise the dead and judge the world in righteousness. Those who have submitted to Jesus will be welcomed into a life of eternal joy in fellowship with God.


What am I looking at?
Diced or Not has imported your replay, and categorized each of the dice rolls how much value you got out of them, based on whether they passed or failed. It also computed what value you should have expected to get out of those rolls. Finally, it compared the value you got to the expected value, and add up that net value across the game. You can see that trend-line in the graph above.
Once your game was analyzed, Diced or Not simulated rolling those same sets of dice 0 more times, and compared the net value of your game to the net value in the simulated games. The fainter background lines show the 99th, 90th, 75th, 50th, 25th, 10th, and 1st percentile cumulative net-values. So, if your line is above the top background line, then your game was better than 99% of games with the same dice, and you most definitely were not diced. If you line was below the 3rd line from the bottom, then your game was worse than 3/4s of games, and you might have a slight argument for having been diced.
Terminology
- Value
- An abstraction of how much getting that roll result likely helped your game. For example, getting a Defender Down on a Block roll would be a +1 value, and getting an Attacker Down on a Block roll would be a -1 value (because it ends your turn). More details of the values assigned are listed in the Values Table.
- Expected Value
- The average Value over all of the possible results of a roll.
- Net Value
- The difference between the actual value and the expected value on a specific roll.
- Cumulative Net Value
- The running total of Net Value for all the rolls taken so far by a team.

 We have seen him make Wolverine's claws as well as wrist-mounted flame throwers.
Now he has built a real Junkrat RIP-tire weapon from Overwatch. The weapon was made at the request of some viewers which are big fans of the game.
And Furze did not disappoint. He started with a tire and put a chainsaw engine in it.
He cut and retrofitted the chainsaw engine to fit perfectly in the tire. He also fitted it with a remote control to control where it heads.
In the end, Furze took the tire out for a test run and watched it run over some grass. The question remains, can it behave like a weapon?
Luckily for all, that's a question Furze does not answer doing little more than watching the tire ride around. What do you think of this DIY project?

Great Job! I have a few comments about some parts of your code below, but none were critical enough to really affect your grade. They are things you should keep in mind for the future that will cost you points. Also, for future reference, remember to comment your code where necessary. Make sure your docstrings match your functions!!! Don't just copy them. Wherever there is logic not explained by the docstring that is not obvious, make sure you add a comment making the explanation. Remember to clean up your code before you push it! Don't just push because it works! You also seem to have a tendancy to introduce a lot of temporary variables that don't really serve that much more of a purpose. This is normally not too bad, but because your variables are also ill-named; it causes your code to be much more ambiguous than it is.

Sumatran rhino extinct in Malaysia as lone survivor dies
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - The Sumatran rhinoceros has become extinct in Malaysia, after the last of the species in the country succumbed to cancer on Saturday.
The Wildlife Department in eastern Sabah state on Borneo island said the rhino, named Iman, died of natural causes due to shock in her system. She had uterine tumors since her capture in March 2014.
Department director Augustine Tuuga said in a statement that Iman, who reportedly was 25 years old, was suffering significant pain from growing pressure of the tumors to her bladder but that her death came sooner than expected.
It came six months after the death of the country’s only male rhino in Sabah. Another female rhino also died in captivity in 2017 in the state. Efforts to breed them have been futile but Sabah authorities have harvested their cells for possible reproduction.
“Despite us knowing that this would happen sooner rather than later, we are so very saddened by this news,” said Sabah Environment Minister Christina Liew.
Liew said that Iman had escaped death several times over the past few years due to sudden massive blood loss, but that wildlife officials managed to nurse her back to health and obtained her egg cells for a possible collaboration with Indonesia to reproduce the critically endangered species through artificial insemination.
The Sumatra rhino is the smallest of the rhinoceros species and the only rhino with two horns. The species once roamed across Asia as far as India, but its numbers have shrunk drastically due to deforestation and poaching. The WWF conservation group estimates that there are only about 80 left, mostly living in the wild in Sumatra and Borneo.

Court dismisses Jacob Zuma appeal
by AFPIn Summary
- A South African court on Friday dismissed former president Jacob Zuma's attempts to appeal against a corruption trial in which he faces charges related to a 1990s arms deal.
- Zuma filed an appeal last month ahead of the initial October 15 trial date, dragging on a case that has seen numerous legal turns over a decade and a half.
- He is alleged to have taken bribes worth four million rand related to a $3.4 billion arms deal in 1999 when he was deputy president.
Johannesburg
A South African court on Friday dismissed former president Jacob Zuma's attempts to appeal against a corruption trial in which he faces charges related to a 1990s arms deal.
The High Court in the southeastern city of Pietermaritzburg ruled that "Mr Zuma's leave to appeal is dismissed with costs".
Zuma filed an appeal last month ahead of the initial October 15 trial date, dragging on a case that has seen numerous legal turns over a decade and a half.
CORRUPTION CHARGES
He is alleged to have taken bribes worth four million rand related to a $3.4 billion arms deal in 1999 when he was deputy president.
Zuma faces 16 charges of fraud, graft and racketeering related to the purchase of fighter jets, patrol boats and military equipment when he was deputy to the country's second black president, Thabo Mbeki.
Both Zuma and French defence company Thales, which supplied equipment for navy vessels, deny the charges.
Thales's application for permission to appeal against the trial was also thrown out at the same time as Zuma's.
Both Zuma and Thales, have the option to approach the Supreme Court in their push to dodge trial, legal analyst Mphulelelo Zikalala, suggested that "the prospects of success are slim".
Zuma was forced to step down last year by the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party after a nine-year reign marked by corruption allegations and dwindling popularity.

PERL589DELTA
Section: Perl Programmers Reference Guide (1)Updated: 2009-05-12
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
perl589delta - what is new for perl v5.8.9DESCRIPTION
This document describes differences between the 5.8.8 release and the 5.8.9 release.Notice
The 5.8.9 release will be the last significant release of the 5.8.x series. Any future releases of 5.8.x will likely only be to deal with security issues, and platform build failures. Hence you should look to migrating to 5.10.x, if you have not started already. See ``Known Problems'' for more information.Incompatible Changes
A particular construction in the source code of extensions written in C++ may need changing. See ``Changed Internals'' for more details. All extensions written in C, most written in C++, and all existing compiled extensions are unaffected. This was necessary to improve C++ support.Other than this, there are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.8.8. If any exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.
Core Enhancements
Unicode Character Database 5.1.0.
The copy of the Unicode Character Database included in Perl 5.8 has been updated to 5.1.0 from 4.1.0. See <http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/#NotableChanges> for the notable changes.stat and -X on directory handles
It is now possible to call "stat" and the "-X" filestat operators on directory handles. As both directory and file handles are barewords, there can be ambiguities over which was intended. In these situations the file handle semantics are preferred. Both also treat *FILE{IO} filehandles like *FILE filehandles.Source filters in @INC
It's possible to enhance the mechanism of subroutine hooks in @INC by adding a source filter on top of the filehandle opened and returned by the hook. This feature was planned a long time ago, but wasn't quite working until now. See ``require'' in perlfunc for details. (Nicholas Clark)Exceptions in constant folding
The constant folding routine is now wrapped in an exception handler, and if folding throws an exception (such as attempting to evaluate 0/0), perl now retains the current optree, rather than aborting the whole program. Without this change, programs would not compile if they had expressions that happened to generate exceptions, even though those expressions were in code that could never be reached at runtime. (Nicholas Clark, Dave Mitchell)no VERSION
You can now use "no" followed by a version number to specify that you want to use a version of perl older than the specified one.Improved internal UTF-8 caching code
The code that caches calculated UTF-8 byte offsets for character offsets for a string has been re-written. Several bugs have been located and eliminated, and the code now makes better use of the information it has, so should be faster. In particular, it doesn't scan to the end of a string before calculating an offset within the string, which should speed up some operations on long strings. It is now possible to disable the caching code at run time, to verify that it is not the cause of suspected problems.Runtime relocatable installations
There is now Configure support for creating a perl tree that is relocatable at run time. see ``Relocatable installations''.New internal variables
- ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE}
- This variable gives the native status returned by the last pipe close, backtick command, successful call to "wait" or "waitpid", or from the "system" operator. See perlvar for details. (Contributed by Gisle Aas.)
- ${^UTF8CACHE}
- This variable controls the state of the internal UTF-8 offset caching code. 1 for on (the default), 0 for off, -1 to debug the caching code by checking all its results against linear scans, and panicing on any discrepancy.
readpipe is now overridable
The built-in function "readpipe" is now overridable. Overriding it permits also to override its operator counterpart, "qx//" (also known as "``").simple exception handling macros
Perl 5.8.9 (and 5.10.0 onwards) now provides a couple of macros to do very basic exception handling in XS modules. You can use these macros if you call code that may "croak", but you need to do some cleanup before giving control back to Perl. See ``Exception Handling'' in perlguts for more details.-D option enhancements
- *
- "-Dq" suppresses the EXECUTING... message when running under "-D"
- *
- "-Dl" logs runops loop entry and exit, and jump level popping.
- *
- "-Dv" displays the process id as part of the trace output.
XS-assisted SWASHGET
Some pure-perl code that the regexp engine was using to retrieve Unicode properties and transliteration mappings has been reimplemented in XS for faster execution. (SADAHIRO Tomoyuki)Constant subroutines
The interpreter internals now support a far more memory efficient form of inlineable constants. Storing a reference to a constant value in a symbol table is equivalent to a full typeglob referencing a constant subroutine, but using about 400 bytes less memory. This proxy constant subroutine is automatically upgraded to a real typeglob with subroutine if necessary. The approach taken is analogous to the existing space optimisation for subroutine stub declarations, which are stored as plain scalars in place of the full typeglob.However, to aid backwards compatibility of existing code, which (wrongly) does not expect anything other than typeglobs in symbol tables, nothing in core uses this feature, other than the regression tests.
Stubs for prototyped subroutines have been stored in symbol tables as plain strings, and stubs for unprototyped subroutines as the number -1, since 5.005, so code which assumes that the core only places typeglobs in symbol tables has been making incorrect assumptions for over 10 years.

Performance Enhancements
- *
-
The default since perl 5.000 has been for perl to create an empty scalar
with every new typeglob. The increased use of lexical variables means that
most are now unused. Thanks to Nicholas Clark's efforts, Perl can now be
compiled with "-DPERL_DONT_CREATE_GVSV" to avoid creating these empty scalars.
This will significantly decrease the number of scalars allocated for all
configurations, and the number of scalars that need to be copied for ithread
creation. Whilst this option is binary compatible with existing perl
installations, it does change a long-standing assumption about the
internals, hence it is not enabled by default, as some third party code may
rely on the old behaviour.
We would recommend testing with this configuration on new deployments of perl, particularly for multi-threaded servers, to see whether all third party code is compatible with it, as this configuration may give useful performance improvements. For existing installations we would not recommend changing to this configuration unless thorough testing is performed before deployment.
- *
- "diagnostics" no longer uses $&, which results in large speedups for regexp matching in all code using it.
- *
- Regular expressions classes of a single character are now treated the same as if the character had been used as a literal, meaning that code that uses char-classes as an escaping mechanism will see a speedup. (Yves Orton)
- *
- Creating anonymous array and hash references (ie. "[]" and "{}") now incurs no more overhead than creating an anonymous list or hash. Nicholas Clark provided changes with a saving of two ops and one stack push, which was measured as a slightly better than 5% improvement for these operations.
- *
- Many calls to "strlen()" have been eliminated, either because the length was already known, or by adopting or enhancing APIs that pass lengths. This has been aided by the adoption of a "my_sprintf()" wrapper, which returns the correct C89 value - the length of the formatted string. Previously we could not rely on the return value of "sprintf()", because on some ancient but extant platforms it still returns "char *".
- *
- "index" is now faster if the search string is stored in UTF-8 but only contains characters in the Latin-1 range.
- *
- The Unicode swatch cache inside the regexp engine is now used. (the lookup had a key mismatch, present since the initial implementation). [RT #42839]
Installation and Configuration Improvements
Relocatable installations
There is now Configure support for creating a relocatable perl tree. If you Configure with "-Duserelocatableinc", then the paths in @INC (and everything else in %Config) can be optionally located via the path of the perl executable.At start time, if any paths in @INC or "Config" that Configure marked as relocatable (by starting them with ".../"), then they are prefixed the directory of $^X. This allows the relocation can be configured on a per-directory basis, although the default with "-Duserelocatableinc" is that everything is relocated. The initial install is done to the original configured prefix.
Configuration improvements
Configure is now better at removing temporary files. Tom Callaway (from RedHat) also contributed patches that complete the set of flags passed to the compiler and the linker, in particular that "-fPIC" is now enabled on Linux. It will also croak when your /dev/null isn't a device.A new configuration variable "d_pseudofork" has been to Configure, and is available as $Config{d_pseudofork} in the "Config" module. This distinguishes real "fork" support from the pseudofork emulation used on Windows platforms.
Config.pod and config.sh are now placed correctly for cross-compilation.
$Config{useshrplib} is now 'true' rather than 'yes' when using a shared perl library.
Compilation improvements
Parallel makes should work properly now, although there may still be problems if "make test" is instructed to run in parallel.Many compilation warnings have been cleaned up. A very stubborn compiler warning in "S_emulate_eaccess()" was killed after six attempts. g++ support has been tuned, especially for FreeBSD.
mkppport has been integrated, and all ppport.h files in the core will now be autogenerated at build time (and removed during cleanup).
Installation improvements.
installman now works with "-Duserelocatableinc" and "DESTDIR".installperl no longer installs:
- *
- static library files of statically linked extensions when a shared perl library is being used. (They are not needed. See ``Windows'' below).
- *
- SIGNATURE and PAUSE*.pub (CPAN files)
- *
- NOTES and PATCHING (ExtUtils files)
- *
- perlld and ld2 (Cygwin files)
Platform Specific Changes
There are improved hints for AIX, Cygwin, DEC/OSF, FreeBSD, HP/UX, Irix 6 Linux, MachTen, NetBSD, OS/390, QNX, SCO, Solaris, SunOS, System V Release 5.x (UnixWare 7, OpenUNIX 8), Ultrix, UMIPS, uts and VOS.- *
- Drop "-std=c89" and "-ansi" if using "long long" as the main integral type, else in FreeBSD 6.2 (and perhaps other releases), system headers do not declare some functions required by perl.
- *
- Starting with Solaris 10, we do not want versioned shared libraries, because those often indicate a private use only library. These problems could often be triggered when SUNWbdb (Berkeley DB) was installed. Hence if Solaris 10 is detected set "ignore_versioned_solibs=y".
- *
- Allow IEEE math to be deselected on OpenVMS I64 (but it remains the default).
- *
- Record IEEE usage in "config.h"
- *
- Help older VMS compilers by using "ccflags" when building "munchconfig.exe".
- *
- Don't try to build old "Thread" extension on VMS when "-Duseithreads" has been chosen.
- *
- Passing a raw string of ``NaN'' to nawk causes a core dump - so the string has been changed to ``*NaN*''
- *
- t/op/stat.t tests will now test hard links on VMS if they are supported.
- *
- When using a shared perl library installperl no longer installs static library files, import library files and export library files (of statically linked extensions) and empty bootstrap files (of dynamically linked extensions). This fixes a problem building PAR-Packer on Win32 with a debug build of perl.
- *
- Various improvements to the win32 build process, including support for Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (aka Visual C++ 8.x).
- *
- perl.exe will now have an icon if built with MinGW or Borland.
- *
- Improvements to the perl-static.exe build process.
- *
- Add Win32 makefile option to link all extensions statically.
- *
- The WinCE directory has been merged into the Win32 directory.
- *
- "setlocale" tests have been re-enabled for Windows XP onwards.
Selected Bug Fixes
Unicode
Many many bugs related to the internal Unicode implementation (UTF-8) have been fixed. In particular, long standing bugs related to returning Unicode via "tie", overloading or $@ are now gone, some of which were never reported."unpack" will internally convert the string back from UTF-8 on numeric types. This is a compromise between the full consistency now in 5.10, and the current behaviour, which is often used as a ``feature'' on string types.
Using ":crlf" and "UTF-16" IO layers together will now work.
Fixed problems with "split", Unicode "/\s+/" and "/ \0/".
Fixed bug RT #40641 - encoding of Unicode characters in regular expressions.
Fixed a bug where using certain patterns in a regexp led to a panic. [RT #45337]
Perl no longer segfaults (due to infinite internal recursion) if the locale's character is not UTF-8 [RT #41442]:
use open ':locale'; print STDERR "\x{201e}"; # „
PerlIO
Inconsistencies have been fixed in the reference counting PerlIO uses to keep track of Unix file descriptors, and the API used by XS code to manage getting and releasing "FILE *"sMagic
Several bugs have been fixed in Magic, the internal system used to implement features such as "tie", tainting and threads sharing."undef @array" on a tied array now correctly calls the "CLEAR" method.
Some of the bitwise ops were not checking whether their arguments were magical before using them. [RT #24816]
Magic is no longer invoked twice by the expression "\&$x"
A bug with assigning large numbers and tainting has been resolved. [RT #40708]
A new entry has been added to the MAGIC vtable - "svt_local". This is used when copying magic to the new value during "local", allowing certain problems with localising shared variables to be resolved.
For the implementation details, see ``Magic Virtual Tables'' in perlguts.
Reblessing overloaded objects now works
Internally, perl object-ness is on the referent, not the reference, even though methods can only be called via a reference. However, the original implementation of overloading stored flags related to overloading on the reference, relying on the flags being copied when the reference was copied, or set at the creation of a new reference. This manifests in a bug - if you rebless an object from a class that has overloading, into one that does not, then any other existing references think that they (still) point to an overloaded object, choose these C code paths, and then throw errors. Analogously, blessing into an overloaded class when other references exist will result in them not using overloading.The implementation has been fixed for 5.10, but this fix changes the semantics of flag bits, so is not binary compatible, so can't be applied to 5.8.9. However, 5.8.9 has a work-around that implements the same bug fix. If the referent has multiple references, then all the other references are located and corrected. A full search is avoided whenever possible by scanning lexicals outwards from the current subroutine, and the argument stack.
A certain well known Linux vendor applied incomplete versions of this bug fix to their /usr/bin/perl and then prematurely closed bug reports about performance issues without consulting back upstream. This not being enough, they then proceeded to ignore the necessary fixes to these unreleased changes for 11 months, until massive pressure was applied by their long-suffering paying customers, catalysed by the failings being featured on a prominent blog and Slashdot.
strict now propagates correctly into string evals
Under 5.8.8 and earlier:
$ perl5.8.8 -e 'use strict; eval "use foo bar" or die $@' Can't locate foo.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ... .) at (eval 1) line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 1) line 2.
Under 5.8.9 and later:
$ perl5.8.9 -e 'use strict; eval "use foo bar" or die $@' Bareword "bar" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1.
This may cause problems with programs that parse the error message and rely on the buggy behaviour.
Other fixes
- *
- The tokenizer no longer treats "=cute" (and other words beginning with "=cut") as a synonym for "=cut".
- *
-
Calling "CORE::require"
"CORE::require" and "CORE::do" were always parsed as "require" and "do" when they were overridden. This is now fixed.
- *
- Stopped memory leak on long /etc/groups entries.
- *
-
"while (my $x ...) { ...; redo }" shouldn't "undef $x".
In the presence of "my" in the conditional of a "while()", "until()", or "for(;;)" loop, we now add an extra scope to the body so that "redo" doesn't "undef" the lexical.
- *
- The "encoding" pragma now correctly ignores anything following an "@" character in the "LC_ALL" and "LANG" environment variables. [RT # 49646]

- *
- Fix bug RT #36267 so that assigning to a tied hash doesn't change the underlying hash.
- *
- Fix bug RT #6006, regexp replaces using large replacement variables fail some of the time, i.e. when substitution contains something like "${10}" (note the bracket) instead of just $10.
- *
- Fix bug RT #45053, "Perl_newCONSTSUB()" is now thread safe.

- *
- Width and precision in sprintf didn't handle characters above 255 correctly. [RT #40473]
- *
- List slices with indices out of range now work more consistently. [RT #39882]
- *
- A change introduced with perl 5.8.1 broke the parsing of arguments of the form "-foo=bar" with the "-s" on the <#!> line. This has been fixed. See http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=43483
- *
- "tr///" is now threadsafe. Previously it was storing a swash inside its OP, rather than in a pad.
- *
- pod2html labels anchors more consistently and handles nested definition lists better.
- *
- "threads" cleanup veto has been extended to include "perl_free()" and "perl_destruct()"
- *
- On some systems, changes to $ENV{TZ} would not always be respected by the underlying calls to "localtime_r()". Perl now forces the inspection of the environment on these systems.
- *
- The special variable $^R is now more consistently set when executing regexps using the "(?{...})" construct. In particular, it will still be set even if backreferences or optional sub-patterns "(?:...)?" are used.
New or Changed Diagnostics
panic: sv_chop %s
This new fatal error occurs when the C routine "Perl_sv_chop()" was passed a position that is not within the scalar's string buffer. This is caused by buggy XS code, and at this point recovery is not possible.Maximal count of pending signals (%s) exceeded
This new fatal error occurs when the perl process has to abort due to too many pending signals, which is bound to prevent perl from being able to handle further incoming signals safely.panic: attempt to call %s in %s
This new fatal error occurs when the ACL version file test operator is used where it is not available on the current platform. Earlier checks mean that it should never be possible to get this.FETCHSIZE returned a negative value
New error indicating that a tied array has claimed to have a negative number of elements.Can't upgrade %s (%d) to %d
Previously the internal error from the SV upgrade code was the less informative Can't upgrade that kind of scalar. It now reports the current internal type, and the new type requested.%s argument is not a HASH or ARRAY element or a subroutine
This error, thrown if an invalid argument is provided to "exists" now correctly includes ``or a subroutine''. [RT #38955]Cannot make the non-overridable builtin %s fatal
This error in "Fatal" previously did not show the name of the builtin in question (now represented by %s above).Unrecognized character '%s' in column %d
This error previously did not state the column.Offset outside string
This can now also be generated by a "seek" on a file handle using "PerlIO::scalar".Invalid escape in the specified encoding in regexp; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
New error, introduced as part of the fix to RT #40641 to handle encoding of Unicode characters in regular expression comments.Your machine doesn't support dump/undump.
A more informative fatal error issued when calling "dump" on Win32 and Cygwin. (Given that the purpose of "dump" is to abort with a core dump, and core dumps can't be produced on these platforms, this is more useful than silently exiting.)Changed Internals
The perl sources can now be compiled with a C++ compiler instead of a C compiler. A necessary implementation details is that under C++, the macro "XS" used to define XSUBs now includes an "extern "C"" definition. A side effect of this is that C++ code that used the construction
typedef XS(SwigPerlWrapper);
now needs to be written
typedef XSPROTO(SwigPerlWrapper);
using the new "XSPROTO" macro, in order to compile. C extensions are unaffected, although C extensions are encouraged to use "XSPROTO" too. This change was present in the 5.10.0 release of perl, so any actively maintained code that happened to use this construction should already have been adapted. Code that needs changing will fail with a compilation error.
"set" magic on localizing/assigning to a magic variable will now only trigger for container magics, i.e. it will for %ENV or %SIG but not for $#array.
The new API macro "newSVpvs()" can be used in place of constructions such as "newSVpvn("ISA", 3)". It takes a single string constant, and at C compile time determines its length.
The new API function "Perl_newSV_type()" can be used as a more efficient replacement of the common idiom
sv = newSV(0); sv_upgrade(sv, type);
Similarly "Perl_newSVpvn_flags()" can be used to combine "Perl_newSVpv()" with "Perl_sv_2mortal()" or the equivalent "Perl_sv_newmortal()" with "Perl_sv_setpvn()"
Two new macros "mPUSHs()" and "mXPUSHs()" are added, to make it easier to push mortal SVs onto the stack. They were then used to fix several bugs where values on the stack had not been mortalised.
A "Perl_signbit()" function was added to test the sign of an "NV". It maps to the system one when available.
"Perl_av_reify()", "Perl_lex_end()", "Perl_mod()", "Perl_op_clear()", "Perl_pop_return()", "Perl_qerror()", "Perl_setdefout()", "Perl_vivify_defelem()" and "Perl_yylex()" are now visible to extensions. This was required to allow "Data::Alias" to work on Windows.
"Perl_find_runcv()" is now visible to perl core extensions. This was required to allow "Sub::Current" to work on Windows.
"ptr_table*" functions are now available in unthreaded perl. "Storable" takes advantage of this.
There have been many small cleanups made to the internals. In particular, "Perl_sv_upgrade()" has been simplified considerably, with a straight-through code path that uses "memset()" and "memcpy()" to initialise the new body, rather than assignment via multiple temporary variables. It has also benefited from simplification and de-duplication of the arena management code.
A lot of small improvements in the code base were made due to reports from the Coverity static code analyzer.
Corrected use and documentation of "Perl_gv_stashpv()", "Perl_gv_stashpvn()", "Perl_gv_stashsv()" functions (last parameter is a bitmask, not boolean).
"PERL_SYS_INIT", "PERL_SYS_INIT3" and "PERL_SYS_TERM" macros have been changed into functions.
"PERLSYS_TERM" no longer requires a context. "PerlIO_teardown()" is now called without a context, and debugging output in this function has been disabled because that required that an interpreter was present, an invalid assumption at termination time.
All compile time options which affect binary compatibility have been grouped together into a global variable ("PL_bincompat_options").
The values of "PERL_REVISION", "PERL_VERSION" and "PERL_SUBVERSION" are now baked into global variables (and hence into any shared perl library). Additionally under "MULTIPLICITY", the perl executable now records the size of the interpreter structure (total, and for this version). Coupled with "PL_bincompat_options" this will allow 5.8.10 (and later), when compiled with a shared perl library, to perform sanity checks in "main()" to verify that the shared library is indeed binary compatible.
Symbolic references can now have embedded NULs. The new public function "Perl_get_cvn_flags()" can be used in extensions if you have to handle them.
Macro cleanups
The core code, and XS code in ext that is not dual-lived on CPAN, no longer uses the macros "PL_na", "NEWSV()", "Null()", "Nullav", "Nullcv", "Nullhv", "Nullhv" etc. Their use is discouraged in new code, particularly "PL_na", which is a small performance hit.New Tests
Many modules updated from CPAN incorporate new tests. Some core specific tests have been added:- ext/DynaLoader/t/DynaLoader.t
- Tests for the "DynaLoader" module.
- t/comp/fold.t
- Tests for compile-time constant folding.

Known Problems
There are no known new bugs.However, programs that rely on bugs that have been fixed will have problems. Also, many bug fixes present in 5.10.0 can't be back-ported to the 5.8.x branch, because they require changes that are binary incompatible, or because the code changes are too large and hence too risky to incorporate.
We have only limited volunteer labour, and the maintenance burden is getting increasingly complex. Hence this will be the last significant release of the 5.8.x series. Any future releases of 5.8.x will likely only be to deal with security issues, and platform build failures. Hence you should look to migrating to 5.10.x, if you have not started already. Alternatively, if business requirements constrain you to continue to use 5.8.x, you may wish to consider commercial support from firms such as ActiveState.

Obituary
Nick Ing-Simmons, long time Perl hacker, author of the "Tk" and "Encode" modules, perlio.c in the core, and 5.003_02 pumpking, died of a heart attack on 25th September 2006. He will be missed.Acknowledgements
Some of the work in this release was funded by a TPF grant.Steve Hay worked behind the scenes working out the causes of the differences between core modules, their CPAN releases, and previous core releases, and the best way to rectify them. He doesn't want to do it again. I know this feeling, and I'm very glad he did it this time, instead of me.
Paul Fenwick assembled a team of 18 volunteers, who broke the back of writing this document. In particular, Bradley Dean, Eddy Tan, and Vincent Pit provided half the team's contribution.
Schwern verified the list of updated module versions, correcting quite a few errors that I (and everyone else) had missed, both wrongly stated module versions, and changed modules that had not been listed.
The crack Berlin-based QA team of Andreas Ko.nig and Slaven Rezic tirelessly re-built snapshots, tested most everything CPAN against them, and then identified the changes responsible for any module regressions, ensuring that several show-stopper bugs were stomped before the first release candidate was cut.
The other core committers contributed most of the changes, and applied most of the patches sent in by the hundreds of contributors listed in AUTHORS.
And obviously, Larry Wall, without whom we wouldn't have Perl.
Reporting Bugs
If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at http://bugs.perl.org. There may also be information at http://www.perl.org, the Perl Home Page.If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the perlbug program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of "perl -V", will be sent off to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to be analysed by the Perl porting team. You can browse and search the Perl 5 bugs at http://bugs.perl.org/
If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This points to a closed subscription unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on CPAN.
