The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 4.10

  • SECURITY: Hopefully this settles all of the problems with symlinks. Both the file and db_file drivers now use O_NOFOLLOW with open when the file should exist and O_EXCL|O_CREAT when creating the file. Tests added for symlinks. (Matt LeBlanc)
  • SECURITY: sqlite driver no longer attempts to use /tmp/sessions.sqlt when no Handle or DataSource is specified. This was a mistake from a security standpoint as anyone on the machine would then be able to create and therefore insert data into your sessions. (Matt LeBlanc)
  • NEW: name is now an instance method (RT#17979) (Matt LeBlanc)
