It's looking like we'll get a release candidate for Perl 5.10.1 in the next week or two. Indications are it will be the best ever Perl on VMS release, but it would be helpful if the so-called perldelta, the changes since the previous release, could be updated for accuracy and completeness. What's in there so far is below. I will see what I can come up with, but people who know things (especially John M.), should give a holler with relevant details. =head3 VMS Reads from C<PerlIO::scalar>'s in-memory temporary files used to fail if C<$/> was set to a numeric reference, to signal record-style reads. This is now fixed. VMS now supports C<getgrgid>. Many improvements and cleanups have been made to the VMS file name handling and conversion code. =for comment XXX I'd mention PERL_VMS_POSIX_EXIT but it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. ________________________________________ Craig A.
