Updated: perl-5.8.8-4


The cygwin perl packages perl and perl_manpages have been updated to revision 5.8.8-4.
This fixes the reported versiononly issue and adds documents into /usr/share/doc/perl-5.8.8.
The versiononly issue led to incorrect dependencies on versioned scripts (5.8.8 suffix), failing with e.g. perldoc.


perl-5.8.8 cygwin notes:

There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.8.7. If any
exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome. No XS module needs a
recompilation.

Additionally several modules have been added to vendor_perl.
Note: Previously installed modules in site_perl have higher precedence.

See http://www.perl.org/
ChangeLog: http://perldoc.perl.org/perl588delta.html

Old vendor patches:
* CYG01 - hints.cygwin.sh ldflags -s
* CYG03 - lib-Test-Harness-Straps $ENV{PERL5LIB} = ''
* CYG04 - major.version.cygwin.sh cygperl-5_8.dll and not
        cygperl-5_8_x.dll
* CYG05 - add Win32CORE to core

Added new vendor patches:
* fixed installperl for CYG04
* CYG02 - lib-ExtUtils-Embed insensitive against leading \\s
* CYG07 - File-Spec-Cygwin-TMPDIR.patch"
* Bug#38628 - allow legacy Cwd->cwd()
* Bug#40103 - File-Spec-case_tolerant.patch from 5.9.5


Detailed NEWS from README ------------------------- 5.8.8-4 - fix the reported versiononly issue - adds documents and Changes into /usr/share/doc/perl-5.8.8 - upload new setup.hint

5.8.8-3
  - Maintainer change from Gerrit Haase to Reini Urban.
  - fixed installperl for the pl-CYG04major.version.cygwin.sh.patch
    (skipping lib and pods).
  - added #40103 - File-Spec-case_tolerant.patch from 5.9.5
  - added #38628 Cwd->cwd() patch, but not the full cygwin-path.patch
    posted to p5p
  - added File-Spec-Cygwin-TMPDIR.patch
  - added several backports for failing testsuite cases.
  - Adjust the perlcygwin documentation for ntsec, cygserver and Unicode
    limitations.
  - included more vendor_perl packages compared to 5.8.7 (without
    comment they are all new).

    Rationale: Same local vendor_perl packages included as in 5.8.7,
    plus some of the new CPAN packages which went to core with 5.9.5,
    Bundle::CPAN, CPAN::Reporter, Module::Build, Par::Dist,
    for a full CPAN bootstrap, the new libXML packages,
    and some almost-core dependencies.

  - removed /usr/bin/ptar and /usr/bin/ptardiff, and subsequently
    Algorithm-Diff-1.1902 Text-Diff-0.35. If you want these binaries
    install Archive::Tar via cpan
  - PAR is not included because of /usr/bin/pp, impolite namespace
    pollution. But since the PAR::Dist is included the tight version
    dependency problems should have gone.
