Making Perl site paths ABI-specific
by Petr Pisar 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

It was a long time ago I wrote to this list. I'm thinking about changing site paths. Now, perl configures site paths to: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 so that anyone installing distributions from CPAN in a system-wide manner will install his modules there. These two paths are listed before core and vendor path used by Fedora packages in order to allow users to override Perl modules coming with Fedora. This layout has the nice feature that user's code is available across Fedora upgrades. However, this feature is also bad because perl tends to change ABI and as a result XS modules stop working and becuse the site location precedence they can hinder even Fedora's Perl code. Then inexperienced users report bugs for perl that Perl stopped working after upgrade Fedora. My proposal is make the two paths changing with every new incompatible Perl release (that happens every year with a new minor Perl version). Example: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.30 /usr/local/share/perl5/5.30 As a result when users upgrade to Perl 5.30, their locally installed modules become unavailable and thus they won't be able to affect the new system. Also the user immediatelly recongnizes that his locally installed code "disappeared" instead of receiving some cryptic error message from XSLoader few days later when some optional XS module gets loaded. These version specific paths are nothing new. Actually a vanilla Perl installation uses more elaborate path differentiating threaded and non-threaded builds in addition. See Debian or Gentoo. It's important to note that INSTALLSITEBIN would remain /usr/local/bin because nobody's going to add /usr/local/bin/5.30 in PATH manually. (We could deliver a /etc/profile.d file within perl-libs, but I think it would made things more fragile.) One also could be tempted to keep the architecture independent /usr/local/share/perl5 as it is. But that could keep modules without architecture-specific dependencies available after an upgrade. So I believe we should move both paths. So if we conclude that this change is good and should be implemented, the only uncertainity is the issue of aestetic: How exactly should the paths be named? I can see these posibilities: /usr/local/share/perl5/5.30 /usr/local/share/perl5/30 /usr/local/share/perl5.30 The first two keep all Perl files under one directory, while the third one proliferates directories right under /usr/local/share. It also is backward compatible for people who back up or NFS-mount the paths. The last two makes the path a little bit shorter. While the first and last resembles a soname we already give to libperl.so (/usr/lib64/libperl.so.5.30). The first two have also a very tiny posibility of a clash with Perl modules namespaced into "5.30::" or "30::" that could survive from current days (installed into /usr/local/share/perl5). I like the first option. Any opinions? Should we go with this change? Wich format do you like most? -- Petr
