Changes for version 3.56

  • SECURITY
    • Use public and documented FCGI.pm API in CGI::Fast CGI::Fast was using an FCGI API that was deprecated and removed from documentation more than ten years ago. Usage of this deprecated API with FCGI >= 0.70 or FCGI <= 0.73 introduces a security issue. <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=68380> <http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-2766> (Thanks to chansen)
  • INTERNALS
    • tmp files are now cleaned up on VMS ( RT#69210, thanks to cberry@cpan.org )
    • Fixed test failure: done_testing() added to url.t (Thanks to Ryan Jendoubi)
    • Clarify preferred bug submission location in docs, and note that Mark Stosberg is the current maintainer.
