The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 2.51

  • RT#60339 fixed regexp for parsing .TJ web whois
  • RT#64960 extend regexp for ReferralServer parsing (for recursive whois)
  • Several timeout/alarm issues: Fix race-condition between ALRM handler cleared and alarm timer cleared (could result process to exit with signalal - i.e. not possible to catch as die(), and no destructions called). Fix action-at-distance - we were clearing alarm timer to zero, if alarm is not used (i.e if TIMEOUT zero). Substract time spent in request from outer alarm
  • Fixed: unicode whois was damaging when using caching Under POSIX systems pwhois now uses TMPDIR env, not TEMP.
