Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

More 5.8.1 Migration issues

[ #15355 ]

Further research into the migration to 5.8.1 reveals plenty of fascinating issues. Issues such as "overriding private methods is a bad idea" (what do you when the internals change?). Issues such as "extensive use of experimental features in production code is a bad idea" (pseudo-hashes). And my favorite:

assert_lists_eq(
    [keys %{$info->{-params}}],
    [qw/country_id week/]
);

  • People *should* be punished for assuming a hash order! Punished I tell you!

    <grumble... serves them right... grumble>

    • No kidding! Today's "assuming a hash order" failure deals with XML. I'm sure you can guess why this is failing:

      assert_eq_ignoring_whitespace($xml_1, $xml_2);
