* Wed May 03 2017 cooloAATTsuse.com- Update to perl-5.24.1 - Di switch is now required for PerlIO debugging output Previously PerlIO debugging output would be sent to the file specified by the \"PERLIO_DEBUG\" environment variable if perl wasn\'t running setuid and the -T or -t switches hadn\'t been parsed yet. If perl performed output at a point where it hadn\'t yet parsed its switches this could result in perl creating or overwriting the file named by \"PERLIO_DEBUG\" even when the -T switch had been supplied. Perl now requires the -Di switch to produce PerlIO debugging output. By default this is written to \"stderr\", but can optionally be redirected to a file by setting the \"PERLIO_DEBUG\" environment variable. If perl is running setuid or the -T switch was supplied \"PERLIO_DEBUG\" is ignored and the debugging output is sent to \"stderr\" as for any other - D switch. Core modules and tools no longer search \".\" for optional modules The tools and many modules supplied in core no longer search the default current directory entry in AATTINC for optional modules. For example, Storable will remove the final \".\" from AATTINC before trying to load Log::Agent. This prevents an attacker injecting an optional module into a process run by another user where the current directory is writable by the attacker, e.g. the /tmp directory.- Refresh patches
