PERLDELTA

NAME DESCRIPTION Core Enhancements

New bitwise operators New double-diamond operator New \b boundaries in regular expressions Non-Capturing Regular Expression Flag use re 'strict' Unicode 7.0 (with correction) is now supported use locale can restrict which locale categories are affected Perl now supports POSIX 2008 locale currency additions Better heuristics on older platforms for determining locale UTF-8ness Aliasing via reference prototype with no arguments New :const subroutine attribute fileno now works on directory handles List form of pipe open implemented for Win32 Assignment to list repetition Infinity and NaN (not-a-number) handling improved Floating point parsing has been improved Packing infinity or not-a-number into a character is now fatal Experimental C Backtrace API

Security

Perl is now compiled with -fstack-protector-strong if available The Safe module could allow outside packages to be replaced Perl is now always compiled with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 if available

Incompatible Changes

Subroutine signatures moved before attributes & and \& prototypes accepts only subs use encoding is now lexical List slices returning empty lists \N{} with a sequence of multiple spaces is now a fatal error use UNIVERSAL '...' is now a fatal error In double-quotish \cX, X must now be a printable ASCII character Splitting the tokens (? and (* in regular expressions is now a fatal compilation error. qr/foo/x now ignores all Unicode pattern white space Comment lines within (?[ ]) are now ended only by a \n (?[...]) operators now follow standard Perl precedence Omitting % and @ on hash and array names is no longer permitted $! text is now in English outside the scope of use locale $! text will be returned in UTF-8 when appropriate Support for ?PATTERN? without explicit operator has been removed defined(@array) and defined(%hash) are now fatal errors Using a hash or an array as a reference are now fatal errors Changes to the * prototype

Deprecations

Setting ${^ENCODING} to anything but undef Use of non-graphic characters in single-character variable names Inlining of sub () { $var } with observable side-effects Use of multiple /x regexp modifiers Using a NO-BREAK space in a character alias for \N{...} is now deprecated A literal { should now be escaped in a pattern Making all warnings fatal is discouraged

SINGLE OCTET TABLES

Table in hex, sorted in 1047 order

Ignore ASCII vs. EBCDIC sort differences. Use a sort helper function MONO CASE then sort data (for non-digits, non-underscore) Perform sorting on one type of platform only.
