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.
Some more infos for this release, which will be in the next Cygwin README:
There are two CPAN releases in this package. The default CPAN version is
the stable 1.76_02 version, which belongs to the 5.8.8 package.
If you want to update it to the current CPAN version it is easier for
newbies to disable the standard CPAN package, the new vendor package is
taken then.
mv /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/CPAN.pm /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/CPAN.pm_
Otherwise you'll have to go the tedious CPAN upgrade process for which
the old CPAN without Win32API::File was not ready then. Cannot overwrite
locked dll's,m within the CPAN shell. See the various Linda W threads on
p5p for example.
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/

- 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 several backports for failing testsuite cases.
- Adjust the perlcygwin documentation for ntsec, cygserver and Unicode

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.
