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

Changes for version 1.44 - 2014-04-24

  • SECURITY
    • map/grep/cond: Only eval string code when run under cli. If called through apply() or ?dux?() (which means, in-process), disallow it to avoid running untrusted Perl string code. This is motivated by Text::ANSITable allowing reading formats from environment variables and apply it using apply().
  • REMOVED FEATURES
    • Remove deprecated module Data::Unixish::List.
