Changes for version 3.10 - 2016-08-01

  • Remove . from @INC when loading optional modules. [Tony Cook, Perl RT#127834, CVE-2016-1238]
  • Removed the default Net::Cmd::timeout() since it inadvertently overrode the timeout() method in whatever IO::Socket::INET-like class sub-classes of Net::Cmd also derive from (at least in cases where Net::Cmd takes precedence in the method resolution, which it should do so that Net::Cmd::getline() overrides IO::Handle::getline()).
    • This does cause problems for any Net::Cmd sub-classes that don't provide (by whatever means) the necessary parts of the interface of IO::Socket::INET, but since they mostly seem to anyway (apart from the one that led to the CPAN RT#110978 report!) this is now simply a documented requirement.
    • CPAN RT#116345
