Summary: perl: updating CGI.pm to 3.10
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158036
------- Additional Comments From jpo@di.uminho.pt 2005-05-17 20:57 EST ------- You are not upgrading a full package: we will be adding a new patch to perl (or replace an existing one).
1) Strange errors have been reported the mod_perl mailling list:
* Re: It did not QUITE work! Re: "strange error" is related to CGI.pm http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=111601794202239&w=2 (17 messages)
* CGI.pm 3.10 is on CPAN http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=111602212309524&w=2
2) the diff from 3.08 to 3.10 is small: it only modifies two files i) three lines in the CGI module ii) a test file
3) the upgrade to mod_perl 2.0.0 RC5 (and later) _will_ break a lot of applications: while most CPAN mod_perl related modules have already been updated, there is at least one - HTML::Mason - that hasn't and won't be until the final version of mod_perl 2.0.0 is out (expected soon but we never know: mod_perl 2 has been in beta stage for at least three years); other modules will suffer more than one update to get things fixed (eg: CGI.pm).
