| 5 | +perl54112delta - what is new for perl v5.41.12 |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +=head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +This document describes differences between the 5.41.11 release and the 5.41.12 |
| 10 | +release. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.41.10, first read |
| 13 | +L<perl54111delta>, which describes differences between 5.41.10 and 5.41.11. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +=head1 Configuration and Compilation |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +This release contains one fix, which only affects the darwin architecture (macos), |
| 18 | +where F<hints/darwin.sh> contained a syntax error that caused the installation to fail. |
| 19 | + |

| 24 | +=item MacOS (Darwin) |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +As in release 5.41.11, collation of strings using locales on MacOS 15 (Darwin |
| 27 | +24) and up has been turned off due to a failed assertion in its libc. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +If earlier versions are also experiencing issues (such as failures in |
| 30 | +F<locale.t>), you can explicitly disable locale collation by adding the |
| 31 | +C<-DNO_LOCALE_COLLATE> option to your invokation of C<./Configure>, |
| 32 | +or to the C<ccflags> and C<cppflags> variables in F<config.sh>. |

| 51 | +The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically |
| 52 | +generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include |
| 53 | +the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to |
| 54 | +the Perl bug tracker. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules |
| 57 | +included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for |
| 58 | +helping Perl to flourish. |
| 59 | + |
